深海细菌Psychrobacter submarinus 1A01998的次级代谢产物研究

目的 对来自深海沉积物中的海洋细菌Psychrobacter submarinus1 A01998的次级代谢产物进行研究.方法 采用大孑L吸附树脂、硅胶、ODS和Sephadex LH-20凝胶等柱层析色谱分离方法,对海洋细菌Psychrobacter submarinus1 A01998进行次级代谢产物的分离纯化,根据1H NMR、13C NMR和MS等波谱数据分析并结合相关文献对化学结构进行鉴定.结果 从深海细菌Psychrobacter submarinus 1A01998的发酵粗提物中分离得到4个化合物,分别鉴定为环(L-脯氨酸-L-酪氨酸)(1)、环(D-脯氨酸-L-酪氨酸)(2)、3-吲哚甲醛(3)、2'-O-甲氧基尿嘧啶核苷(4).结论 化合物1～4均为首次从该属中分离得到,其中化合物1、2为环二肽类化合物.     

Surgical wound infection associated with Psychrobacter phenylpyruvicus-like organism

A case of surgical wound infection caused by Psychrobacter phenylpyruvicus-like organism is described. The strain showed phenotypic characteristics typical of P. phenylpyruvicus, but 16S rRNA sequencing showed 98.2% relatedness to Moraxella phenylpyruvica strain 752/52 and only 94.8% with P. phenylpyruvicus type strain ATCC 23333(T). The results of molecular analysis suggest that the strain we isolated may represent a new species within the genus Psychrobacter.     

Psychrobacter arenosus Bacteremia after Blood Transfusion,France

We report a case of transfusion-associated bacteremia caused by Psychrobacter arenosus. This psychrotolerant bacterium was previously isolated in 2004 from coastal sea ice and sediments in the Sea of Japan, but not from humans. P. arenosus should be considered a psychrotolerant bacterial species that can cause transfusion-transmitted bacterial infections.     

NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase isozymes from a psychrotrophic bacterium,Psychrobacter sp. strain 13A

The genes encoding dimeric and monomeric isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) isozymes from a psychrotrophic bacterium, strain 13A (13AIDH-D and 13AIDH-M, respectively), were cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequences of these two IDHs showed high degrees of identity with those of bacteria of genus Psychrobacter. Analysis of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene of the strain 13A revealed that this bacterium is classified to genus Psychrobacter. The optimum temperatures for activities of 13AIDH-D and 13AIDH-M were 55°C and 45°C, respectively, indicating that they are mesophilic. On the contrary, 13AIDH-D maintained 90% of its maximum activity after incubation for 10 min at 50°C, while the 13AIDH-M activity was completely lost under the same condition. In addition, 13AIDH-D showed much higher specific activity than 13AIDH-M. From northern and western blot analyses, the 13AIDH-D gene was found to be not transcribed under the growth conditions tested in this study. However, the catalytic ability of the mesophilic 13AIDH-M was concluded to be enough to sustain the growth of strain 13A at low temperatures. Therefore, a novel pattern of the contribution of IDH isozymes in cold-living bacteria to their growth at low temperatures was confirmed in strain 13A.
