  • A Novel Type of N-Acetylglutamate Synthase Is Involved in the First Step
    Petri et al. BMC Genomics 2013, 14:713 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/14/713 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A novel type of N-acetylglutamate synthase is involved in the first step of arginine biosynthesis in Corynebacterium glutamicum Kathrin Petri, Frederik Walter, Marcus Persicke, Christian Rückert and Jörn Kalinowski* Abstract Background: Arginine biosynthesis in Corynebacterium glutamicum consists of eight enzymatic steps, starting with acetylation of glutamate, catalysed by N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS). There are different kinds of known NAGSs, for example, “classical” ArgA, bifunctional ArgJ, ArgO, and S-NAGS. However, since C. glutamicum possesses a monofunctional ArgJ, which catalyses only the fifth step of the arginine biosynthesis pathway, glutamate must be acetylated by an as of yet unknown NAGS gene. Results: Arginine biosynthesis was investigated by metabolome profiling using defined gene deletion mutants that were expected to accumulate corresponding intracellular metabolites. HPLC-ESI-qTOF analyses gave detailed insights into arginine metabolism by detecting six out of seven intermediates of arginine biosynthesis. Accumulation of N-acetylglutamate in all mutants was a further confirmation of the unknown NAGS activity. To elucidate the identity of this gene, a genomic library of C. glutamicum was created and used to complement an Escherichia coli ΔargA mutant. The plasmid identified, which allowed functional complementation, contained part of gene cg3035, which contains an acetyltransferase domain in its amino acid sequence. Deletion of cg3035 in the C. glutamicum genome led to a partial auxotrophy for arginine. Heterologous overexpression of the entire cg3035 gene verified its ability to complement the E. coli ΔargA mutant in vivo and homologous overexpression led to a significantly higher intracellular N-acetylglutamate pool.

  • Kaistella Soli Sp. Nov., Isolated from Oil-Contaminated Soil
    A001 Kaistella soli sp. nov., Isolated from Oil-contaminated Soil Dhiraj Kumar Chaudhary1, Ram Hari Dahal2, Dong-Uk Kim3, and Yongseok Hong1* 1Department of Environmental Engineering, Korea University Sejong Campus, 2Department of Microbiology, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, 3Department of Biological Science, College of Science and Engineering, Sangji University A light yellow-colored, rod-shaped bacterial strain DKR-2T was isolated from oil-contaminated experimental soil. The strain was Gram-stain-negative, catalase and oxidase positive, and grew at temperature 10–35°C, at pH 6.0– 9.0, and at 0–1.5% (w/v) NaCl concentration. The phylogenetic analysis and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis suggested that the strain DKR-2T was affiliated to the genus Kaistella, with the closest species being Kaistella haifensis H38T (97.6% sequence similarity). The chemotaxonomic profiles revealed the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine as the principal polar lipids;iso-C15:0, antiso-C15:0, and summed feature 9 (iso-C17:1 9c and/or C16:0 10-methyl) as the main fatty acids; and menaquinone-6 as a major menaquinone. The DNA G + C content was 39.5%. In addition, the average nucleotide identity (ANIu) and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) relatedness values between strain DKR-2T and phylogenically closest members were below the threshold values for species delineation. The polyphasic taxonomic features illustrated in this study clearly implied that strain DKR-2T represents a novel species in the genus Kaistella, for which the name Kaistella soli sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain DKR-2T (= KACC 22070T = NBRC 114725T).

Email: *[email protected] Received November 19th, 2012; revised December 22nd, 2012; accepted January 5th, 2013 ABSTRACT In order to obtain much more un-known actinomycetes for discovering new drug lead, one hundred soil samples were collected from five national natural protection areas of tropical rain forests, Mengla, Menglun, Mandian, Xiaomeng- yang and Guanping, in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China. 1652 purified cultures of actinobacteria were isolated from these samples by using 5 media. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of 388 selected strains were analyzed, and the phy- logenetic analysis was carried out. 35 genera which belong to 8 orders and 14 families of the Class actinobacteria were identified. It is showed from research results that actinomycete diversity in tropical rain forest of Xishuangbanna is the highest comparing with all areas studied in our laboratories before. Selective isolation methods for un-known actino- mycetes from soil samples, including medium and inhibitors are discussed in this paper.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name:LE Rrst ^ I Other narne/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: MSc | ScliooliBiotechnolo^^^^^^ and Biomolecular ScienoBS Faculty: Science Title:Community analysis and physiological characterisation of bacterial isolates from a nitrifying membrane bioreactor Abstract This thesis focuses on the identification of early colonisers on membrane surfaces used in wastewater treatment, as well as the physiological characterisation of bacterial cultures isolated from different micro- environments of a membrane bioreactor (MBR). The bacterial community composition of early biofilms on membrane surfaces under different hydrodynamic conditions (pressurised and non-pressurised) and of the activated sludge in an MBR were examined by culture-independent, molecular-based methods of PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) and PGR cloning of 16S rRNA genes. A bench-scale, nitrifying MBR treating artificial waste was employed. The hollow fibre ultrafiltration membrane was made of polypropylene with an average pore diameter of 0.04 \im. Analysis of DGGE profiles of the sessile communities on membrane surfaces revealed that Tetrasphaera elongata species were important colonisers due to their ability to bind to membrane surfaces irrespective of the hydrodynamic context and exposure time. Interactions between isolates from the bioreactor and membrane surfaces were further investigated by characterising the physiological traits important in biofilm initiation and proliferation on membrane surfaces such as motility, auto-aggregation, co-aggregation, hydrophobicity and quorum sensing. Bacterial strains were isolated from floes and supernatant phases of the activated sludge as well as from pressurised membrane surfaces. Microbacterium sp. were prevalent in all culture collections.

In contrast to bifidobacteria, the PKs found in other organisms (referred to XPK) are OPEN ACCESS able to metabolize primarily X5P and show very little activity towards F6P.

  • Glycomyces Phytohabitans Sp. Nov., a Novel Endophytic Actinomycete Isolated from the Coastal Halophyte in Jiangsu, East China
    The Journal of Antibiotics (2014) 67, 559–563 & 2014 Japan Antibiotics Research Association All rights reserved 0021-8820/14 www.nature.com/ja ORIGINAL ARTICLE Glycomyces phytohabitans sp. nov., a novel endophytic actinomycete isolated from the coastal halophyte in Jiangsu, East China Ke Xing1, Sheng Qin2, Wen-Di Zhang1,2, Cheng-Liang Cao2, Ji-Sheng Ruan3, Ying Huang3 and Ji-Hong Jiang2 A novel endophytic actinomycete, designated strain KLBMP 1483T, was isolated from the stem of the coastal plant Dendranthema indicum (Linn.) Des Moul collected from Nantong, in East China. Phylogenetic analysis showed that strain KLBMP 1483T was affiliated with the genus Glycomyces within the family Glycomycetaceae and shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with the type strains of Glycomyces arizonensis NRRL B-16153T (96.7%) and Glycomyces tenuis IFO 15904T (96.2%), and lower similarities (94.1–95.1%) to the other members of the genus Glycomyces, which distinguished KLBMP 1483T from representatives of the genus Glycomyces. The whole-cell hydrolysates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, glucose, xylose and galactose. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannosides, two unknown aminophospholipids, two phosphoglycolipids, two unknown phospholipids and one unknown lipid. MK-10(H4) was the predominant menaquinone. The major fatty acids were iso-C15:0, anteiso-C15:0, iso-C16:0, iso-C16:1 G and anteiso-C17:0. On the basis of the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics presented in this study, strain KLBMP 1483T represents a novel species, for which the name Glycomyces phytohabitans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KLBMP 1483T (NBRC 109116T ¼ DSM 45766T).

Since the majority of HIV transmission occurs through heterosexual sex (UNAIDS, 2014), understanding how HIV infection is established within the female genital tract (FGT) is critical for the development of HIV preventative interventions, and deserves further study.
