  • Microbial diversity and anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation potential in an oil-contaminated mangrove sediment

    Updated: 2012-08-30 04:00:00
    Conclusions: Analysis of bacterial 16S rRNA gene diversity revealed changes with depth. DGGE for bamA and dsr genes shows that the anaerobic hydrocarbon-degrading community profile also changed between 5 and 15 cm depth, and is similar in the two deeper sediments, indicating that below 15 cm the anaerobic hydrocarbon-degrading community appears to be well established and homogeneous in this mangrove sediment. qPCR analysis revealed differences with sediment depth, with general bacterial abundance in the top layer (0--5 cm) being greater than in both deeper sediment layers (15--20 and 35--40 cm), which were similar to each other.

  • Lyme endocarditis

    Updated: 2012-08-30 04:00:00
    Abstract Lyme borreliosis is a common tick‐borne disease with a wide variety of clinical manifestations. Cardiac involvement has been reported during both the acute phase (atrioventricular block, pericarditis) and the chronic stage (dilated cardiomyopathy), but is rare (less than 5%). Here we describe the first case of Borrelia afzelii Lyme endocarditis, in a 61‐year‐old man living in an endemic area of France. The diagnosis was confirmed by detection of B. afzelii DNA in the mitral valve by specific real‐time PCR. He was treated empirically with amoxicillin for 6 weeks and remains well 12 months later. © 2012 The Authors Clinical Microbiology and Infection © 2012 European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (Source: Clinical Microbiology and Infection)

    Updated: 2012-08-30 04:00:00
    Conclusions: The cis-regulome is not a clean functional network crafted by adaptive forces alone, but instead a data source filled with the noise of non-adaptive forces. From a regulatory perspective, this evolutionary noise manifests as complexity on both the binding site and pathway level, which has significant implications on many directions in microbiology, genetics, and synthetic biology.

  • Changes in the oligomerization potential of the division inhibitor UgtP coordinate Bacillus subtilis cell size with nutrient availability

    Updated: 2012-08-29 04:00:00
    SUMMARY How cells coordinate size with growth and development is a major, unresolved question in cell biology. In previous work we identified the glucosyltransferase UgtP as a division inhibitor responsible for increasing the size of Bacillus subtilis cells under nutrient‐rich conditions. In nutrient‐rich medium, UgtP is distributed more or less uniformly throughout the cytoplasm and concentrated at the cell poles and/or the cytokinetic ring. Under these conditions, UgtP interacts directly with FtsZ to inhibit division and increase cell size. Conversely, under nutrient‐poor conditions, UgtP is sequestered away from FtsZ in punctate foci, and division proceeds unimpeded resulting in a reduction in average cell size. Here we report that nutrient‐dependent changes in UgtP’s oligomer...

  • Interspecies modulation of bacterial development through iron competition and siderophore piracy

    Updated: 2012-08-29 04:00:00
    Summary While soil‐dwelling actinomycetes are renowned for secreting natural products, little is known about the roles of these molecules in mediating actinomycete interactions. In a previous co‐culture screen, we found that one actinomycete, Amycolatopsis sp. AA4, inhibited aerial hyphae formation in adjacent colonies of Streptomyces coelicolor. A siderophore, amychelin, mediated this developmental arrest. Here we present genetic evidence that confirms the role of the amc locus in the production of amychelin and in the inhibition of S. coelicolor development. We further characterize the Amycolatopsis sp. AA4 ‐ S. coelicolor interaction by examining expression of developmental and iron acquisition genes over time in co‐culture. Manipulation of iron availability and/or growth near A...

  • Streptococcus pneumoniae R6 interspecies transformation: genetic analysis of penicillin resistance determinants and genome‐wide recombination events

    Updated: 2012-08-29 04:00:00
    Summary Interspecies gene transfer has been implicated as the major driving force for the evolution of penicillin resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae. Genomic alterations of S. pneumoniae R6 introduced during four successive transformations with DNA of the high‐level penicillin resistant S. mitis B6 with beta‐lactam selection have now been determined and the contribution of genes to high resistance levels was analysed genetically. Essential for high level resistance to penicillins of the transformant CCCB was the combination of murM B 6 and the 3′‐region of pbp2b B 6. Sequences of both genes were detected in clinical isolates of S. pneumoniae, confirming the participation of S. mitis in the global gene pool of beta‐lactam resistance determinants. The S. mitis PBP1b gene which ...

  • Vanadium accelerates horizontal transfer of tet(M) gene from marine Photobacterium to Escherichia coli

    Updated: 2012-08-29 04:00:00
    Abstract Vanadium is a contaminant from steel additive and ship fuel in coastal and port areas, and its effect on marine microbes remains largely unknown. We showed that vanadium accelerates transfer of the tetracycline resistance gene tet(M) from Photobacterium to Escherichia coli, and found a positive correlation between the concentration of vanadium in natural marine sediment and the rate of oxytetracycline resistance. These results suggest the possibility that vanadium may play a role in the preservation and horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes in the marine environment.

  • Effects of quillaja and yucca saponins on communities and select populations of rumen bacteria and archaea, and fermentation in vitro

    Updated: 2012-08-28 23:05:33
    ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that saponins, though not effective in mitigating methane emission, may improve feed utilization at low doses, and modulate ruminal microbial communities in a dose‐dependent manner. Significance and Impact of StudyThe results of this study suggest that saponins at low doses may directly stimulate the growth of some rumen bacteria including cellulolytic bacteria, thus improving digestibility of feeds, independent of their defaunation activity. In contrast, saponins at high doses modulate rumen fermentation characteristically similar to defaunation.© 2012 The Authors Journal of Applied Microbiology © 2012 The Society for Applied Microbiology (Source: Journal of Applied Microbiology)

  • Cues and regulatory pathways involved in natural competence and transformation in pathogenic and environmental Gram‐negative bacteria

    Updated: 2012-08-28 23:00:10
    Abstract Bacterial genomics is flourishing, as whole‐genome sequencing has become affordable, readily available, and rapid. As a result, it has become clear how frequently horizontal gene transfer (HGT) occurs in bacteria. The potential implications are highly significant because HGT contributes to several processes, including the spread of antibiotic‐resistance cassettes, the distribution of toxin‐encoding phages, and the transfer of pathogenicity islands. Three modes of HGT are recognized in bacteria: conjugation, transduction and natural transformation. In contrast to the first two mechanisms, natural competence for transformation does not rely on mobile genetic elements but is driven solely by a developmental program in the acceptor bacterium. Once the bacterium becomes competent...

  • The stepwise acquisition of fluconazole resistance mutations causes a gradual loss of fitness in Candida albicans

    Updated: 2012-08-28 04:00:00
    Summary The pathogenic yeast Candida albicans can develop resistance to the widely used antifungal agent fluconazole, which inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis. Resistance is often caused by gain‐of‐function mutations in the transcription factors Mrr1, Tac1 and Upc2, which result in constitutive overexpression of multidrug efflux pumps and ergosterol biosynthesis genes respectively. It is not known how the permanently changed gene expression program in resistant strains affects their fitness in the absence of drug selection pressure. We have systematically investigated the effects of activating mutations in Mrr1, Tac1 and Upc2, individually and in all possible combinations, on the degree of fluconazole resistance and on the fitness of C. albicans in an isogenic strain background. All co...

  • The Saccharomyces cerevisiae BEM1 homologue in Neurospora crassa promotes co‐ordinated cell behaviour resulting in cell fusion

    Updated: 2012-08-27 04:00:00
    Summary Directed growth or movement is a common feature of microbial development and propagation. In polar growing filamentous fungi, directed growth requires the interaction of signal sensing machineries with factors controlling polarity and cell tip extension. In Neurospora crassa an unusual mode of cell–cell signalling mediates mutual attraction of germinating spores, which subsequently fuse. During directed growth of the two fusion partners, the cells co‐ordinately alternate between two physiological stages, probably associated with signal sending and receiving. Here, we show that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae BEM1 homologue in N. crassa is essential for the robust and efficient functioning of this MAP kinase‐based signalling system. BEM1 localizes to growing hyphal tips suggest...

  • Composition of the type VII secretion system membrane complex

    Updated: 2012-08-27 04:00:00
    Summary Pathogenic mycobacteria require type VII secretion (T7S) systems to transport virulence factors across their complex cell envelope. These bacteria have up to five of these systems, termed ESX‐1 to ESX‐5. Here, we show that ESX‐5 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis mediates the secretion of EsxN, PPE and PE_PGRS proteins, indicating that ESX‐5 is a major secretion pathway in this important pathogen. Using the ESX‐5 system of Mycobacterium marinum and Mycobacterium bovis BCG as a model, we have purified and analysed the T7S membrane complex under native conditions. blue native‐PAGE and immunoprecipitation experiments showed that the ESX‐5 membrane complex of both species has a size of ∼ 1500 kDa and is composed of four conserved membrane proteins, i.e. EccB5, EccC5, Ecc...

  • Sialic acid utilisation by the soil bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum

    Updated: 2012-08-27 04:00:00
    Abstract The ability to use the sialic acid N‐acetylneuraminic acid, Neu5Ac, as a nutrient has been characterised in a number of bacteria, most of which are human pathogens which encounter this molecule due to its presence on mucosal surfaces. The soil bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum also has a full complement of genes for sialic acid catabolism and we demonstrate that it can use Neu5Ac as a sole source of carbon and energy and isolate mutants with a much reduced growth lag on Neu5Ac. Disruption of the cg2937 gene, encoding a component of a predicted sialic acid‐specific ABC transporter, results in a complete loss of growth of C. glutamicum on Neu5Ac and also a complete loss of [14C]‐Neu5Ac uptake into cells. Uptake of [14C]‐Neu5Ac is induced by pregrowth on Neu5Ac, but the ad...

  • Genetic characterization of swine influenza viruses isolated in Japan between 2009 and 2012.

    Updated: 2012-08-25 04:00:00
    ABSTRACT Eleven swine influenza viruses (SIVs) isolated from pigs in Japanese institutions between 2009 and 2012 were genetically characterized. Seven H1N1 were shown to have originated from A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses． Two H1N2 viruses contained H1 and N2 genes of Japanese H1N2 SIV origin together with internal genes of A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses. Two H3N2 viruses isolated during animal quarantine were identified as triple reassortant H3N2 viruses maintained among pigs in North America. Results of this study show that A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses and their reassortant strains are already present in domestic pigs in Japan, and that novel SIVs are possibly being imported from abroad.
