The strains showed resistance against the antibiotics tetracycline, cephalothin, nisin, vancomycin, nalidixic acid, erythromycin, lincomycin, and penicillin and grew at temperatures between 15 and 37 1C and pH values from 4 to 10 with a maximum at pH 7 to 10. The 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequences and the substrate spectrum of the isolates revealed that the two strains belonged to the Pseudomonas fluorescens group. The supernatants of both strains had an antibiotic effect against Gram-positive bacteria and one Gram-negative strain. The effective substance was produced under standard cultivation conditions without special inducer molecules or special medium composition. The antibiotically active compound was identified as pseudomonic acid A by off-line high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS). The measurement on ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC, UV–vis detection) confirmed the determination of pseudomonic acid A which was produced by both strains at 1.7–3.5 mg/l. Our findings indicate that the ability to produce the antibiotic pseudomonic acid A (Mupirocin) is more spread among the pseudomonads then anticipated from the only producer known so far. r 2008 Elsevier GmbH.

Anopheles stephensi is one of the vectors of malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax. The parasite undergoes major developmental and maturation steps within the mosquito midgut and little is known about Anopheles-associated midgut microbiota.

  • A Primary Assessment of the Endophytic Bacterial Community in a Xerophilous Moss (Grimmia Montana) Using Molecular Method and Cultivated Isolates
    Brazilian Journal of Microbiology 45, 1, 163-173 (2014) Copyright © 2014, Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia ISSN 1678-4405 www.sbmicrobiologia.org.br Research Paper A primary assessment of the endophytic bacterial community in a xerophilous moss (Grimmia montana) using molecular method and cultivated isolates Xiao Lei Liu, Su Lin Liu, Min Liu, Bi He Kong, Lei Liu, Yan Hong Li College of Life Science, Capital Normal University, Haidian District, Beijing, China. Submitted: December 27, 2012; Approved: April 1, 2013. Abstract Investigating the endophytic bacterial community in special moss species is fundamental to under- standing the microbial-plant interactions and discovering the bacteria with stresses tolerance. Thus, the community structure of endophytic bacteria in the xerophilous moss Grimmia montana were esti- mated using a 16S rDNA library and traditional cultivation methods. In total, 212 sequences derived from the 16S rDNA library were used to assess the bacterial diversity. Sequence alignment showed that the endophytes were assigned to 54 genera in 4 phyla (Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria and Cytophaga/Flexibacter/Bacteroids). Of them, the dominant phyla were Proteobacteria (45.9%) and Firmicutes (27.6%), the most abundant genera included Acinetobacter, Aeromonas, Enterobacter, Leclercia, Microvirga, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Planococcus, Paenisporosarcina and Planomicrobium. In addition, a total of 14 species belonging to 8 genera in 3 phyla (Proteo- bacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria) were isolated, Curtobacterium, Massilia, Pseudomonas and Sphingomonas were the dominant genera. Although some of the genera isolated were inconsistent with those detected by molecular method, both of two methods proved that many different endophytic bacteria coexist in G. montana. According to the potential functional analyses of these bacteria, some species are known to have possible beneficial effects on hosts, but whether this is the case in G.

It is important to understand which are the major evolutionary groups and what are the genomic/proteomic components they have in common or are unique. Towards this goal, we analyzed 494 complete Pseudomonas proteomes and identified 297 core‐orthologues. The subsequent phylogenomic analysis revealed two well‐defined species (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas chlororaphis) and four wider phylogenetic groups (Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas stutzeri, Pseudomonas syringae, Pseudomonas putida) with a sufficient number of proteomes. As expected, the genus‐level core proteome was highly enriched for proteins involved in metabolism, translation, and transcription. In addition, between 39–70% of the core proteins in each group had a significant presence in each of all the other groups. Group‐specific core proteins were also identified, with P.

    DIVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL PSEUDOMONAS ENCODE UNIQUE SECONDARY METABOLITES THAT INHIBIT HUMAN PATHOGENS Elizabeth Davis A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE August 2017 Committee: Hans Wildschutte, Advisor Ray Larsen Jill Zeilstra-Ryalls © 2017 Elizabeth Davis All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Hans Wildschutte, Advisor Antibiotic resistance has become a crisis of global proportions. People all over the world are dying from multidrug resistant infections, and it is predicted that bacterial infections will once again become the leading cause of death. One human opportunistic pathogen of great concern is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. P. aeruginosa is the most abundant pathogen in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients’ lungs over time and is resistant to most currently used antibiotics. Chronic infection of the CF lung is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in CF patients. With the rise of multidrug resistant bacteria and lack of novel antibiotics, treatment for CF patients will become more problematic. Escalating the problem is a lack of research from pharmaceutical companies due to low profitability, resulting in a large void in the discovery and development of antibiotics. Thus, research labs within academia have played an important role in the discovery of novel compounds. Environmental bacteria are known to naturally produce secondary metabolites, some of which outcompete surrounding bacteria for resources. We hypothesized that environmental Pseudomonas from diverse soil and water habitats produce secondary metabolites capable of inhibiting the growth of CF derived P. aeruginosa. To address this hypothesis, we used a population based study in tandem with transposon mutagenesis and bioinformatics to identify eight biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) from four different environmental Pseudomonas strains, S4G9, LE6C9, LE5C2 and S3E10.
