一株海洋细菌铁吸收调节蛋白(Fur)基因的克隆和表达

对海洋细菌来说铁是一种必需元素,对铁吸收与利用的调控在细菌生长和防止铁毒性中起重要作用,在革兰氏阴性细菌中,铁的代谢由铁吸收调节蛋白(Fur) 来调控.橙色交替单胞菌是1种具有广泛抑菌谱的有益菌,本研究克隆表达了橙色交替单胞菌的fur基因,并分析了其相关特征.该基因序列中包含447bp的开放阅读框,编码148个氨基酸残基的蛋白,推导的相对分子量为16.637 kD,与GenBank报道的革兰氏阴性菌的相应序列同源性很高,其中氨基酸序列的中段从G47位至D104位,为高度保守区域.在限铁和富铁培养条件下铁载体分泌量的结果分析表明,fur基因可在大肠杆菌中大量表达,为进一步研究Fur蛋白的结构与功能打下基础.     

Characterization of a mutant of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Alteromonas aurantia</Emphasis> A18 and its application in mariculture

Mutant J61321 with enhanced siderophore production of Alteromonas aurantia AI8 was obtained after a series of chemical-physical mutageneses. It was found that the antibacterial activity against Vibrio anguillarum W-1 and siderophore production of the mutant were higher than those by the original strain A 18 which had been used in mariculture. The results of the specific assay（Csaky and Arnow methods） of siderophore showed that the sidrophore with hydroxamate group was produced by mutant J61321 and the original strain A 18, respectively, while the siderophore with catechol group was yielded by strain W-1 （Aibrio anguillarum）. Meanwhile, the siderophore yield, antibacterial activity and anti-chelator activity of strain J61321 were higher than those of its parent strain A 18.

南极超微细菌ANT52(Alteromonas stellipolaris)外膜蛋白和脂多糖的提取物对黑鲷的免疫活性研究

从南极超微细菌ANT52(Alteromonas stellipolaris)提取粗外膜蛋白(Outer membrane protein,OMP)和粗脂多糖(Lipopolysaccharide,LPS),分不同处理(OMP、LPS、OMP+LPS)免疫注射黑鲷,在免疫后的第1、7、14、21、28、35天时检测试验鱼的白细胞吞噬活性、溶菌酶活力、抗菌活力以及酚氧化酶活力等非特异性免疫指标的变化.结果表明,自南极超微细菌ANT52提取的LPS及OMP 均能够显著提高黑鲷的白细胞吞噬活性(P<0.05),增强黑鲷血清中的抗菌活力、溶菌酶的活力和酚氧化酶活力(P<0.05).各免疫处理对黑鲷免疫活性的影响效果不同,LPS、OMP单独注射的免疫促进效果优于组合注射(LPS+OMP);且LPS、OMP单独注射的黑鲷各免疫指标基本上在接种后的第28天时最高,而组合注射LPS+OMP在接种后的第21天最高.上述物质表现的免疫作用机理有待于进一步研究.

A bacterial pathogen infecting gametophytes of Saccharina japonica (Laminariales, Phaeophyceae)

A newly identified bacterial disease of kelp(Saccharina japonica) gametophytes was found in clone cultures.It is characterized by swollen gametophyte cells in the early period of infection followed by filamentous fading.An alginolytic marine bacterium referred to as A-1 was isolated from the diseased gametophytes.On the basis of 16S rDNA sequencing and morphological,physiological and biochemical characteristics,the bacterium was identified as a strain of the genus Alteromonas.By testing Koch’s postulates,Alteromonas sp.A-1 was further confirmed as the pathogen.The infection process was also investigated using both scanning electron and light microscopy.
