Kocuria palustris sp. nov. and Kocuria rhizophila sp. nov., isolated from the rhizoplane of the narrow-leaved cattail (Typha angustifolia). (1/597)

Two Gram-positive, aerobic spherical actinobacteria were isolated from the rhizoplane of narrow-leaved cattail (Typha angustifolia) collected from a floating mat in the Soroksar tributary of the Danube river, Hungary. Sequence comparisons of the 16S rDNA indicated these isolates to be phylogenetic neighbours of members of the genus Kocuria, family Micrococcaceae, in which they represent two novel lineages. The phylogenetic distinctness of the two organisms TA68T and TAGA27T was supported by DNA-DNA similarity values of less than 55% between each other and with the type strains of Kocuria rosea, Kocuria kristinae and Kocuria varians. Chemotaxonomic properties supported the placement of the two isolates in the genus Kocuria. The diagnostic diamino acid of the cell-wall peptidoglycan is lysine, the interpeptide bridge is composed of three alanine residues. Predominant menaquinone was MK-7(H2). The fatty acid pattern represents the straight-chain saturated iso-anteiso type. Main fatty acid was anteiso-C15:0. The phospholipids are diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an unknown component. The DNA base composition of strains TA68T and TAGA27T is 69.4 and 69.6 mol% G+C, respectively. Genotypic, morphological and physiological characteristics are used to describe two new species of Kocuria, for which we propose the names Kocuria palustris, type strain DSM 11925T and Kocuria rhizophila, type strain DSM 11926T.  (+info)

Polyamine profiles within genera of the class Actinobacteria with LL-diaminopimelic acid in the peptidoglycan. (2/597)

Polyamine patterns of coryne- and nocardioform representatives of the class Actinobacteria with LL-diaminopimelic acid in the peptidoglycan, comprising strains of the genera Aeromicrobium, Nocardioides, Intrasporangium, Terrabacter, Terracoccus, Propioniferax, Friedmanniella, Microlunatus, Luteococcus and Sporichthya, were analysed. The different polyamine patterns were in good agreement with the phylogenetic heterogeneity within this group of actinomycetes. Strains of the closely related genera Nocardioides and Aeromicrobium were characterized by the presence of cadaverine. The second cluster, consisting of the type strains of the species Friedmanniella antarctica, Propioniferax innocua, Microlunatus phosphovorus and Luteococcus japonicus, displayed as a common feature the presence of the two predominant compounds spermidine and spermine. The presence of putrescine was common to the type strains of the species Intrasporangium calvum, Terrabacter tumescens and Terracoccus luteus. Sporichthya polymorpha, which is a representative of a separate line of descent, displayed spermidine as the predominant polyamine. These data indicate that polyamine patterns are suitable for the classification of actinomycetes with LL-diaminopimelic acid in the peptidoglycan.  (+info)

Whipple's arthritis: direct detection of Tropheryma whippelii in synovial fluid and tissue. (3/597)

We describe 2 patients presenting with polyarthritis in whom the synovial fluid (1 patient) or synovial tissue (1 patient) was positive for Tropheryma whippelii, the Whipple's disease-associated bacillus, when examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing. Histopathologic findings were consistent with articular Whipple's disease in the synovial fluid of 1 patient and the synovial tissue of the other. In both patients, bowel mucosal specimens were negative for Whipple's disease features by histologic and PCR methods. One patient was positive for T whippelii in the peripheral blood. Control synovial fluid specimens from 40 patients with other arthritides, including Lyme arthritis, were negative. Sequencing of a 284-basepair region of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene confirmed that the sequence is closely related to the known T whippelii sequence. Both patients responded to treatment with antibiotics.  (+info)

Characterization of a novel Atopobium isolate from the human vagina: description of Atopobium vaginae sp. nov. (4/597)

Phenotypic and phylogenetic studies were performed on a hitherto undescribed micro-organism isolated from the human vagina. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies demonstrated that the unknown strain constituted a new subline within the genus Atopobium. The unknown bacterium was readily distinguished from other Atopobium species by biochemical tests and electrophoretic analysis of whole-cell proteins. Based on phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, it is proposed that the unknown bacterium be classified as Atopobium vaginae sp. nov. The type strain of Atopobium vaginae is CCUG 38953T.  (+info)

Detection of three different types of 'Tropheryma whippelii' directly from clinical specimens by sequencing, single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis and type-specific PCR of their 16S-23S ribosomal intergenic spacer region. (5/597)

The 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer region of organisms identical with or closely related to 'Tropheryma whippelii', the uncultivated causative agent of Whipple's disease, was analysed directly from 38 clinical specimens of 28 patients using a specific nested PCR followed by direct sequencing. As compared to the reference sequence in public databases, two novel 'T. whippelii' spacer types were recognized. In the absence of DNA-DNA hybridization data it is uncertain whether the three types found represent subtypes of a single species or three different but closely related species. Methods were developed to detect all three variants by single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis and by type-specific PCR assays, thus allowing the screening of large numbers of specimens. Further studies may provide a clue to the possible associations between the type of infecting strain and the various clinical presentations of Whipple's disease.  (+info)

Evaluation of a specific nested PCR targeting domain III of the 23S rRNA gene of "Tropheryma whippelii" and proposal of a classification system for its molecular variants. (6/597)

"Tropheryma whippelii"-associated infections are usually confirmed histopathologically by using light microscopy. PCR assays targeting the 16S rRNA gene (16S rDNA) of "T. whippelii" are increasingly being applied for this purpose. Compared to microscopic analysis, PCR seems to be more sensitive, as indicated by the fact that several cases of Whipple's disease with negative histopathological findings but positive PCR results have been reported. Considering the lack of pathognomonic clinical features for this disease and the fact that "T. whippelii" DNA has repeatedly been found in patients without clinical Whipple's disease, such PCR results should be confirmed by additional tests. We have, therefore, evaluated a "T. whippelii"-specific nested PCR targeting domain III of the 23S rDNA with 41 clinical specimens known to contain "T. whippelii" 16S rDNA. All of these specimens were also positive for "T. whippelii" 23S rDNA. The specificity of the test was shown by sequencing of the amplicons and by the absence of amplicons in 38 negative controls. We consider this PCR test to be a suitable tool for confirming the presence of "T. whippelii" DNA in specimens with inconclusive histopathological findings. The information derived from sequencing of the partial "T. whippelii" 23S rDNA was then combined with our recent data of the 16S-23S rDNA spacer region of this organism. Overall, four different rDNA types are recognized in our proposed classification system for molecular variants of "T. whippelii." This preliminary scheme may provide a basis for further epidemiological and clinical studies with "T. whippelii" and associated diseases.  (+info)

Identification of polyphosphate-accumulating organisms and design of 16S rRNA-directed probes for their detection and quantitation. (7/597)

Laboratory-scale sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) as models for activated sludge processes were used to study enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) from wastewater. Enrichment for polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) was achieved essentially by increasing the phosphorus concentration in the influent to the SBRs. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using domain-, division-, and subdivision-level probes was used to assess the proportions of microorganisms in the sludges. The A sludge, a high-performance P-removing sludge containing 15.1% P in the biomass, was comprised of large clusters of polyphosphate-containing coccobacilli. By FISH, >80% of the A sludge bacteria were beta-2 Proteobacteria arranged in clusters of coccobacilli, strongly suggesting that this group contains a PAO responsible for EBPR. The second dominant group in the A sludge was the Actinobacteria. Clone libraries of PCR-amplified bacterial 16S rRNA genes from three high-performance P-removing sludges were prepared, and clones belonging to the beta-2 Proteobacteria were fully sequenced. A distinctive group of clones (sharing >/=98% sequence identity) related to Rhodocyclus spp. (94 to 97% identity) and Propionibacter pelophilus (95 to 96% identity) was identified as the most likely candidate PAOs. Three probes specific for the highly related candidate PAO group were designed from the sequence data. All three probes specifically bound to the morphologically distinctive clusters of PAOs in the A sludge, exactly coinciding with the beta-2 Proteobacteria probe. Sequential FISH and polyphosphate staining of EBPR sludges clearly demonstrated that PAO probe-binding cells contained polyphosphate. Subsequent PAO probe analyses of a number of sludges with various P removal capacities indicated a strong positive correlation between P removal from the wastewater as determined by sludge P content and number of PAO probe-binding cells. We conclude therefore that an important group of PAOs in EBPR sludges are bacteria closely related to Rhodocyclus and Propionibacter.  (+info)

Cultivation of the bacillus of Whipple's disease. (8/597)

BACKGROUND: Whipple's disease is a systemic bacterial infection, but to date no isolate of the bacterium has been established in subculture, and no strain of this bacterium has been available for study. METHODS: Using specimens from the aortic [corrected] valve of a patient with endocarditis due to Whipple's disease, we isolated and propagated a bacterium by inoculation in a human fibroblast cell line (HEL) with the use of a shell-vial assay. We tested serum samples from our patient, other patients with Whipple's disease, and control subjects for the presence of antibodies to this bacterium. RESULTS: The bacterium of Whipple's disease was grown successfully in HEL cells, and we established subcultures of the isolate. Indirect immunofluorescence assays showed that the patient's serum reacted specifically against the bacterium. Seven of 9 serum samples from patients with Whipple's disease had IgM antibody titers of 1:50 or more, as compared with 3 of 40 samples from the control subjects (P<0.001). Polyclonal antibodies against the bacterium were generated by inoculation of the microorganism into mice and were used to detect bacteria in the excised cardiac tissue from our patient on immunohistochemical analysis. The 16S ribosomal RNA gene of the cultured bacterium was identical to the sequence for Tropheryma whippelii identified previously in tissue samples from patients with Whipple's disease. The strain we have grown is available in the French National Collection. CONCLUSIONS: We cultivated the bacterium of Whipple's disease, detected specific antibodies in tissue from the source patient, and generated specific antibodies in mice to be used in the immunodetection of the microorganism in tissues. The development of a serologic test for Whipple's disease may now be possible.  (+info)

Rubrobacter xylanophilus - WikipediaRubrobacter xylanophilus - Wikipedia
Rubrobacter xylanophilus is a thermophilic species of bacteria. It is slightly halotolerant, short rod- and coccus-shaped and gram-positive, with type strain PRD-1T. It is the only true radiation resistant thermopile. It can degrade xylan and hemicellulose. The first strain of the genus Rubrobacter was isolated from gamma-irradiated hot spring water samples by Yoshinaka. This organism was found to be extremely gamma-radiation resistant, with a higher shoulder dose than the canonical radiation resistant species of the genus Deinococcus. The organism stained Gram-positive and was slightly thermophilic with an optimum growth temperature of about 45°C. Carreto, L.; Moore, E.; Nobre, M. F.; Wait, R.; Riley, P. W.; Sharp, R.

Marine-derived Actinobacteria are a source of a broad variety of secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities, such as antibiotics and antitumorals; many of which have been developed for clinical use. Rare Actinobacteria represent an untapped source of new bioactive compounds that have been scarcely recognized. In this study, rare Actinobacteria from marine sediments were isolated from the Valparaíso bay, Chile, and their potential to produce antibacterial compounds was evaluated. Different culture conditions and selective media that select the growth of Actinobacteria were used leading to the isolation of 68 bacterial strains. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences led to identifying isolates that belong to the phylum Actinobacteria with genetic affiliations to 17 genera: Aeromicrobium, Agrococcus, Arthrobacter, Brachybacterium, Corynebacterium, Dietzia, Flaviflexus, Gordonia, Isoptericola, Janibacter, Microbacterium, Mycobacterium, Ornithinimicrobium, Pseudonocardia,

The taxonomic composition of picoplankton communities profoundly differs in freshwater and marine systems. Cultivation-independent molecular approaches have demonstrated that bacteria from large phylogenetic lineages of typical freshwater microbes, e.g., the β-subdivision of the proteobacteria, are virtually absent in the marine picoplankton (15, 23). For other bacterial lineages the evidence is less conclusive. Comparative analysis of 16S rDNA genes indicate that uncultured members of the class Actinobacteria are ubiquitous in lakes of various trophic state, size or geographic location (16, 36), but actinobacterial sequence types are also known from marine systems (31).. A direct microscopic visualization of freshwater Bacteria by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes is still difficult, and frequently only a low fraction of all picoplankton cells (,50%) can be visualized by FISH (5, 10, 15, 19). We hypothesize that this may be due to high ...

Actinobacteria - WikipediaActinobacteria - Wikipedia
Most Actinobacteria of medical or economic significance are in subclass Actinobacteridae, and belong to the order Actinomycetales. While many of these cause disease in humans, Streptomyces is notable as a source of antibiotics. Of those Actinobacteria not in the Actinomycetales, Gardnerella is one of the most researched. Classification of Gardnerella is controversial, and MeSH catalogues it as both a Gram-positive and Gram-negative organism.[9]. Actinobacteria, especially Streptomyces spp., are recognized as the producers of many bioactive metabolites that are useful to humans in medicine, such as antibacterials,[10] antifungals,[11] antivirals, antithrombotics, immunomodifiers, antitumor drugs, and enzyme inhibitors; and in agriculture, including insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and growth-promoting substances for plants and animals.[12][13] Actinobacteria-derived antibiotics that are important in medicine include aminoglycosides, anthracyclines, chloramphenicol, macrolide, tetracyclines, ...

Extreme and unusual ecosystems such as isolated ancient caves are considered as potential tools for the discovery of novel natural products with biological activities. Actinobacteria that inhabit these unusual ecosystems are examined as a promising source for the development of new drugs. In this study we focused on the preliminary estimation of fatty acid composition and antibacterial properties of culturable actinobacteria isolated from water surface of underground lakes located in Badzheyskaya and Okhotnichya caves in Siberia. Here we present isolation of 17 strains of actinobacteria that belong to the Streptomyces, Nocardia and Nocardiopsis genera. Using assays for antibacterial and antifungal activities, we found that a number of strains belonging to the genus Streptomyces isolated from Badzheyskaya cave demonstrated inhibition activity against bacteria and fungi. It was shown that representatives of the genera Nocardia and Nocardiopsis isolated from Okhotnichya cave did not demonstrate any tested

N1 - © 2018 Society for Applied Microbiology and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.. PY - 2018/4/6. Y1 - 2018/4/6. N2 - The increase in availability of actinobacterial whole genome sequences has revealed huge numbers of specialised metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters, encoding a range of bioactive molecules such as antibiotics, antifungals, immunosuppressives and anticancer agents. Yet the majority of these clusters are not expressed under standard laboratory conditions in rich media conditions. Emerging data from studies of specialised metabolite biosynthesis suggest that the diversity of regulatory mechanisms is greater than previously thought and these act at multiple levels, through a range of signals such as nutrient limitation, intercellular signalling and competition with other organisms. Understanding the regulation and environmental cues ...

The Antarctic represents a largely untapped source for isolation of new microorganisms with potential to produce bioactive natural products. Actinomycetes are of special interest among such microorganisms as they are known to produce a large number of natural products, many of which have clinical, pharmaceutical or agricultural applications. We isolated, characterized and classified actinomycetes from soil samples collected from different locations on Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, in the maritime Antarctic. A total of 95 putative actinomycete strains were isolated from eight soil samples using eight types of selective isolation media. The strains were dereplicated into 16 groups based on morphology and Amplified Ribosomal DNA Restriction Analysis (ARDRA) patterns. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences of representatives from each group showed that streptomycetes were the dominant actinomycetes isolated from these soils; however, there were also several strains belonging to diverse and rare ...

Actinomycetes are gram-positive, free-living, saprophytic bacteria widely distributed in soil, water and colonizing plants showing marked chemical and morphological diversity. They are potential source of many bioactive compounds, which have diverse clinical effects and important applications in human medicine. In the present work, we have studied some of the physiological and biochemical characteristics of 36 actinomycete strains isolated from the shola soils of tropical montane forest; a relatively unexplored biodiversity hotspot. Ability of actinomycetes isolates to ferment and produce acids from various carbohydrate sources such as innositol, mannose, sorbitol, galactose, mannitol, xylose, rhamnose, arabinose, lactose and fructose were studied. Almost all the carbon compounds were utilized by one or other actinomycete isolates. The most preferred carbon sources were found to be xylose (94.44%) followed by fructose and mannose (91.66%). Only 41.76% of the isolates were able to ferment ...

Abstract: Actinomycetes are one of the most important groups that produce useful secondary metabolites. They play a great role in pharmaceutical and industrial uses. The search for antibiotic producing soil actinomycetes to inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms has become widespread due to the need for newer antibiotics. The present work was aimed to isolate soil actinomycetes from pinus tree rhizosphere from Doddabetta, Western Ghats, Tamil Nadu, India. Thirty one actinomycetes were isolated based on heterogeneity and stability in subculturing; they were screened against 5 Gram positive and 7 Gram negative bacteria in an in vitro antagonism assay. In the preliminary screening, out of 31 isolates, 12.09% showed good antagonistic activity; 25.08% showed moderate activity; 19.35% showed weak activity and 41.93% showed no activity against the tested bacteria. Among the isolates tested, DPR20 showed good antibacterial activity against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. The ...

This chapter discusses some of the stressors likely to target the cell envelope of Mycobacterium tuberculosis during infection, and the corresponding regulatory elements expressed by the bacterium to counteract this stress. Phylogenetically, M. tuberculosis is a member of the phylum Actinobacteria, which also includes several notable human pathogens, including species of the genera Streptomyces, Corynebacterium, Nocardia, and Rhodococcus. M. tuberculosis is a facultative intracellular pathogen, and its host range is restricted to humans. The bacterium is not normally found free within the environment, so its continued survival within the human population requires that it be transmitted directly from an infected individual with active disease to one that is susceptible to infection. Posttranslational phosphorylation of proteins was traditionally thought to be limited to eukaryotic cells. However, the discovery of two-component signal transduction systems (TCSSs) in bacteria shifted this paradigm to

A new hierarchic classification structure for the taxa between the taxonomic levels of genus and class is Proposed for the actinomycete line of descent as defined by analysis of small subunit (16S) rRNA and genes coding for this molecule (rDNA). While the traditional circumscription of a genus of the actinomycete subphylum is by and large in accord with the 16S rRNA/rDNA-based phylogenetic clustering of these organisms. most of the higher taxa proposed in the past do not take into account the phylogenetic clustering of genera. The rich chemical, morphological and physiological diversity of phylogenetically closely related genera makes the description of families and higher taxa so broad that they become meaningless for the description of the enclosed taxa. Here we present a classification system in which phylogenetically neighboring taxa at the genus level are clustered into families, suborders, orders, subclasses, and a class irrespective of those phenotypec characteristics on which the delineation of

Methodology/Principal Findings: Here, we report molecular monitoring of the stone-autochthonous microbiota before and at 5, 12 and 30 months after the bio-consolidation treatment (medium/long-term monitoring), employing the well-known molecular strategy of DGGE analyses. Before the bio-consolidation treatment, the bacterial diversity showed the exclusive dominance of Actinobacteria (100%), which decreased in the community (44.2%) after 5 months, and Gamma-proteobacteria (30.24%) and Chloroflexi (25.56%) appeared. After 12 months, Gamma-proteobacteria vanished from the community and Cyanobacteria (22.1%) appeared and remained dominant after thirty months, when the microbiota consisted of Actinobacteria (42.2%) and Cyanobacteria (57.8%) only. Fungal diversity showed that the Ascomycota phylum was dominant before treatment (100%), while, after five months, Basidiomycota (6.38%) appeared on the stone, and vanished again after twelve months. Thirty months after the treatment, the fungal population ...

My main academic interests are in microbial systematics and biotechnology. One of my current research interests is to promote advances in, and enhance the general understanding of the extent of actinobacterial diversity in natural ecosystems and manmade habitats. To this end, innovative strategies are being developed for the selective isolation, dereplication and characterisation of actinomycetes using a range of genotypic and phenotypic procedures. One route that is being adopted for the discovery of novel actinomycetes is to determine the extent of actinobacterial diversity in neglected habitats, such as desert soils and deep sea muds, using both culture-based and culture independent approaches..

A taxonomic study was carried out to clarify the taxonomy of representatives of a group of marine actinomycetes previously designated MAR 1 and considered to belong to the family Micromonosporaceae. The organisms had phenotypic properties consistent with their assignment to this taxon. The strains formed a distinct taxon in the 16S rRNA Micromonosporaceae gene tree and shared a range of phenotypic properties that distinguished them from members of all of the genera with validly published names classified in this family. The name proposed for this novel taxon is Salinispora gen. nov. The genus contains two species recognized using a range of genotypic and phenotypic criteria, including comparative 16S-23S rRNA gene spacer region and DNA-DNA relatedness data. The names proposed for these taxa are Salinispora arenicola sp. nov., the type species, and Salinispora tropica sp. nov.; the type strains of these novel species have been deposited in service culture collections as strain CNH-643T (=ATCC BAA-917T

Bioprospecting natural products in marine bacteria from fjord environments are attractive due to their unique geographical features. Although, Actinobacteria are well known for producing a myriad of bioactive compounds, investigations regarding fjord derived marine Actinobacteria are scarce. In this study, the diversity and biotechnological potential of Actinobacteria isolated from marine sediments within the Comau fjord, in Northern Chilean Patagonia, were assessed by culture-based approaches. The 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that members phylogenetically related to the Micrococcaceae, Derrnabacteraceae. Brevibacteriaceae, Corynebacteriaceae. Microbacteriaceae, Dietziaceae, Nocardiaceae, and Streptomycetaceae families were present at the Comau fjord. A high diversity of cultivable Actinobacteria (10 genera) was retrieved by using only five different isolation media. Four isolates belonging to Arthrobacter, Brevibacterium, Corynebacterium and Kocuria genera showed 16S rRNA gene identity ...

From Aladdins Cave to Treasure IslandFrom Aladdin's Cave to Treasure Island
Similarly to their terrestrial relatives, marine microbes are a rich source of bioactive metabolites (antibiotics, antitumor drugs) and enzymes with different applications. For instance, cultivation of a marine actinomycete known as Salinispora tropica yielded a number of novel metabolites, not found before. One of these compounds, salinosporamide A, has antitumor properties and is currently being tested in humans for the treatment of cancer. Sequencing the genome of Salinispora tropica unveiled a number of genes coding for the synthesis of 17 potential metabolites; most of these compounds had not been detected in previous culturing of the microbe. Then, the researchers used the genetic information to guide a new chemical analysis of Salinispora cultures. The analysis uncovered an additional, novel compound (salinilactam), which had a structure corresponding to that deduced from the DNA sequence ...

A novel taxonomic marker that discriminates between morphologically complex actinomycetes - StrathprintsA novel taxonomic marker that discriminates between morphologically complex actinomycetes - Strathprints
In the era where large whole genome bacterial data sets are generated routinely, rapid and accurate molecular systematics is becoming increasingly important. However, 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing does not always offer sufficient resolution to discriminate between closely related genera. The SsgA-like proteins (SALPs) are developmental regulatory proteins in sporulating actinomycete, whereby SsgB actively recruits FtsZ during sporulation-specific cell division. Here we present a novel method to classify actinomycetes, based on the extraordinary way the SsgA and SsgB proteins are conserved. The almost complete conservation of the SsgB amino acid sequence between members of the same genus, and its high divergence even between closely related genera, provides high quality data for the classification of morphologically complex actinomycetes. Our analysis validates Kitasatospora as a sister genus to Streptomyces in the family Streptomycetaceae and suggests that Micromonospora, Salinispora and ...

Early Life Sugar Consumption Affects the Rat Microbiome Independently of Obesity - FructoseFactsEarly Life Sugar Consumption Affects the Rat Microbiome Independently of Obesity - FructoseFacts
Researchers found that there was no significant difference between groups for body weight gain, overall caloric intake, body fat, lean mass, or overall adiposity index. Rats that consumed sugar water consumed less of the solid food. As a result of this well-established compensatory behavior in Sprague-Dawley rats, all three sugar groups consumed a significantly lower percentage of energy from fat and protein compared to the control.. The 16s rRNA sequencing of fecal samples taken at post-natal day 80 revealed a distinct clustering pattern when comparing the sugar to non-sugar fed rats. Interestingly, when comparing the 3 different fructose-to-glucose ratio groups, there was no distinct clustering pattern observed. Researchers detail a number of shifts in the microbiome at the phylum, class, order, family, and genus level. For example, at the phylum level, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria were elevated in the sugar consuming groups. At the class level, Actinobacteria, Bacilli, Alpha-, Beta- and ...

The gut microbiome uses a number of diverse mechanisms to alter the disposition, efficacy and toxicity of drugs and xenobiotics as follows (Carmody and Turnbaugh, 2014; Klaassen and Cui, 2015): 1) The gut microbiota may express enzymes that either metabolically activate or inactivate drugs. For example, sulfalazine used to treat gut inflammation is converted to its pharmacologically active form, 5-amino 5-salicylic acid by microbial enzymes. In contrast, digoxin is inactivated by a "cardiac glycoside" expressed by Eggerthella lenta. 2) The drug may be sequestered by direct binding to the bacterial organism. An example here is the sequestration of L-DOPA by Helicobacter pylori. 3) The drug may be metabolically reactivated by microbially expressed enzymes. A good example of this mechanism is provided by the chemotherapeutic drug irinotecan (also called CPT-11) (Wallace et al., 2010). In the liver, irinotecan is metabolically inactivated via glucuronidation. Within the intestines, however, it is ...

In this study, the role of the corresponding protein in tryptophan biosynthesis was investigated by combining phenotypic and molecular analyses. The 2038KO mutant strain was characterized by delayed growth, smaller aerial hyphae and reduced production of spores and actinorhodin antibiotic, with respect to the WT strain. The capability of this mutant to grow on minimal medium was ...
