TY - JOUR. T1 - Epulopiscium fishelsoni N. G., N. Sp., a Protist of Uncertain Taxonomic Affinities from the Gut of an Herbivorous Reef Fish. AU - Montgomery, Linn W. AU - POLLAK, PEGGY E.. PY - 1988. Y1 - 1988. N2 - Epulopiscium fishelsoni n. g., n. sp., is described from the gut of Acanthurus nigrofuscus, an herbivorous surgeonfish (Acanthuridae: Teleostei) from the Red Sea, Israel. The symbiont is placed in the kingdom Protoctista (or Protista) but more specific taxonomic assignment is impossible at this time. The organism is of an elongate oval shape, round in cross‐section, and highly mobile, with the ability to reverse direction rapidly. It lacks a mouth or other external structures, with the exception of fine surface filaments of an undetermined nature. Internally, there is a complex of folded membranes or tubules and a nucleus. No other organelles are evident. Reproduction is characterized by doubling of nuclei within the parental cell and emergence of daughter cells from a perforation ...

Surface proteins of Gram-positive bacteria are required for: bacterial growth, cell wall maintenance, cell division, protection of bacteria from environmental challenges, adhesion to environment components, colonization and biofilm formation, interaction with eukaryotic cells and induction of immune responses. Thus, surface proteins are essential for bacterial life and critically important in competition for survival in different complex environments in the world.Regarding commensal or probiotic bacteria, the surface proteins are involved in bacteria-host interactions that support beneficial effects. In the era of metagenomics analysis of the human microbiota, identification of the effectors of the cross-talk between bacteria and their host is essential to understand the molecular basis of the symbiosis and develop strategies to restore homeostasis in disease situations.Regarding pathogens, the surface proteins often contribute to pathogenesis and are thus considered as virulence factors. In the era of
Bacteria are traditionally divided into the two groups: gram-positive and gram-negative, based on their gram-staining response. Gram-positive bacteria are also referred to as monoderms having one membrane, and gram-negative bacteria are also referred to as diderms, having two membranes. These groups are often thought of as lineages, with gram-negative bacteria more closely related to one another than to gram-positive bacteria. While this is often true, the classification system breaks down in some cases. A given bacterias staining result, bacterial membrane organization, and lineage groupings do not always match up.[6][7][8][9] Thus, gram-staining cannot be reliably used to assess familial relationships of bacteria. However, staining often gives reliable information about the composition of the cell membrane, distinguishing between the presence or absence of an outer lipid membrane.[6][10] Of these two structurally distinct groups of prokaryotic organisms, monoderm prokaryotes are indicated to ...
This daily life cycle of Epulopiscium fishelsoni correlates well with the daily activities of the surgeonfish. In the mornings, E. fishelsoni cells (isolated from a surgeonfish gut, not a culture) were found to contain compact, spherical nucleoids at the apices of the cells which elongated during the day. Throughout the day, the average length of the cells increased with the nucleoids making up a large percentage of the parent cell volume. In the late afternoons and evenings, these nucleoids reached a maximum of approximately 50 - 75% of the length of the parent cells. During the night, over 70% of the E. fishelsoni cells found in the gut contained two nucleoids; the rest of the cells were smaller and lacked incipient daughter cells. These smaller cells, which were almost always found only in early morning samples, were assumed to be the released daughter cells; the parent cells are destroyed in the process of releasing daughter cells. Because of this daily process it is almost impossible to ...

Under hostile conditions, bacteria elicit stress response. Such stress response is regulated by a secondary messenger called (p)ppGpp. (p)ppGpp is involved in wide range of functions such as GTP homeostasis, biofilm formation and cell growth. Its regulation and mode of action is not well understood. This work has been initiated with an aim to gain insights into the molecular basis of stress response. (p)ppGpp was discovered on the chromatogram of cell extract from starved E. coli cells. (p)ppGpp is synthesized and hydrolyzed by Rel/SpoT in Gram negative bacteria (such as E. coli), and by bifunctional enzyme called Rel in Gram positive bacteria (such as Mycobacteria). The obvious question that comes in our mind is how bifunctional Rel enzyme decides on synthesis or hydrolysis in Gram positive bacteria such as Mycobacterium? In our laboratory, it has been shown that N-terminal domain of Rel shows unregulated (p)ppGpp synthesis implying regulatory role of C-terminal domain. Also, concurrent ...

The cytosol contains oil droplets, food reserves and the 70S ribosomes, and is surrounded by a plasmalemma. In Gram negative bacteria, a further outer membrane surrounds the plasmalemma, with a thin cell wall and periplasmic space trapped between them. In Gram positive bacteria, there is no outer membrane, and the cell wall is thicker. The cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan and various organic acids in Eubacteria. Bacteria have flagella, but they are simple proteinaceous strands attached to a rotary motor, completely dissimilar to the complex eukaryotic undulipodium. Membranes may be present in the cell, as in the thylakoids of the Cyanobacteria. In gram-positive bacteria the mambrane may form mesosomes, which are invaginations in the cell membrane that may be involved in DNA replication and oxidative phosphorylation. The cytosol may also contain various episomes (small circular chromosomes), some called plasmids, and others called (bacterio)phages, which are bacterial viruses. Prokaryotes ...

Ideally, we would use B. subtilis because it is a well characterised gram positive bacterium that does quorum sensing using small peptides as autoinducers. These small peptides could be produced as a result of cleavage of a membrane-anchored protein by a protease from the parasite which we want to detect. However, there are issues regarding the extracellular proteases produced by gram positive bacteria. These could interfere with the system and could result in false positives or degrade the protease detection peptide. There are protease deficient strains available that may bypass some of these problems. Protease detector peptides (small linear quourum sensing peptide attached to protease recognition sequence) may also get trapped between the cell wall and cell membraine. To avoid this we looked into mechanisms of transport and attachment of these peptides to the ouside of cell wall. An alternative is to secrete detector peptides into the medium as B.subtilis is very good at secreting proteins. ...
Alterations in gut microbiota impact the pathophysiology of several diseases, including cancer. Radiotherapy (RT), an established curative and palliative cancer treatment, exerts potent immune modulatory effects, inducing tumor-associated antigen (TAA) cross-priming with antitumor CD8+ T cell elicitation and abscopal effects. We tested whether the gut microbiota modulates antitumor immune response following RT distal to the gut. Vancomycin, an antibiotic that acts mainly on gram-positive bacteria and is restricted to the gut, potentiated the RT-induced antitumor immune response and tumor growth inhibition. This synergy was dependent on TAA cross presentation to cytolytic CD8+ T cells and on IFN-γ. Notably, butyrate, a metabolite produced by the vancomycin-depleted gut bacteria, abrogated the vancomycin effect. In conclusion, depletion of vancomycin-sensitive bacteria enhances the antitumor activity of RT, which has important clinical ramifications.. ...
The importance of the wash step in Gram stain is, that to remove the dye from the walls of bacteria so coloring is not mixed with final results, as well the dye for gram positive stays one while from gram negative lightens. The order of dyes are important because, Gram Positive bacteria have thick peptidoglycon walls that retain the dark color, so violet is first used, then after the wash for gram negative the color washes off a bit, and then a lighter color is added so the Gram Positive will show purple and negative will show light red/pink ...

abstract = {The activation of an immune response requires recognition of microorganisms by host receptors. In drosophila, detection of Gram-positive bacteria is mediated by cooperation between the peptidoglycan-recognition protein-SA (PGRP-SA) and Gram-negative binding protein 1 (GNBP1) proteins. Here we show that some Gram-positive bacterial species activate an immune response in a PGRP-SA- and GNBP1-independent manner, indicating that alternative receptors exist. Consistent with this, we noted that PGRP-SD mutants were susceptible to some Gram-positive bacteria and that a loss-of-function mutation in PGRP-SD severely exacerbated the PGRP-SA and GNBP1 mutant phenotypes. These data indicate that PGRP-SD can function as a receptor for Gram-positive bacteria and shows partial redundancy with the PGRP-SA-GNBP1 complex ...

Bacteria face exactly the same problem. They can deal with it by making thousands of copies of their entire genome - as many as 600,000 copies in the case of giant bacterial cells like Epulopiscium, an extreme case that lives only in the unusual guts of surgeonfish. But all this DNA has a big energetic cost that cripples even giant bacteria - stopping them from turning into more complex eukaryotes. The only way out, said Dr Lane, is if one cell somehow gets inside another one - an endosymbiosis ...

A nap is most definitely in store for Lucy and me today! We had a late night and several interruptions in our sleep that made morning come way too soon. I learned early this morning that Lucys cultures are growing gram positive bugs. This is most likely the source of her fevers. Somebody ordered stool cultures to rule out c-diff so we are still on isolation until we get the all clear on that. Dr. R told me that he was not the one who order the test so dont be mad at him. We, as in Dr. R and I, do not believe that Lucy has c-diff, but what can I do. Despite being tired, one of the best ways to pass our time, and keep us from loosing our minds while we wait for bacteria to grow, is to go for walks around the hospital so we can visit all of our aquarium friends and any other friends that we happen to see in the halls. When you are here as often as we have been you get to know quite a few people. Hopefully we will be able to get out later today.. Lucys line is in need of repair, and that is what ...

Clear differences in the intracellular electron flow were observed when cells were supplied with different carbon sources. A higher electrochemical response was detected when cells were supplied with xylose than with sucrose or glucose. Moreover, using the mediated electrochemical method, it was possible to detect differences in the electron flow between cells harvested in the exponential and stationary growth phases. The electron flow of C. saccharolyticus ...

Although bacteria are traditionally divided into two main groups, gram-positive and gram-negative, based on their Gram stain retention property, this classification system is ambiguous as it refers to three distinct aspects (staining result, envelope organization, taxonomic group), which do not necessarily coalesce for some bacterial species.[5][6][7][8] The gram-positive and gram-negative staining response is also not a reliable characteristic as these two kinds of bacteria do not form phylogenetic coherent groups.[5] However, although Gram staining response is an empirical criterion, its basis lies in the marked differences in the ultrastructure and chemical composition of the bacterial cell wall, marked by the absence or presence of an outer lipid membrane.[5][9] All gram-positive bacteria are bounded by a single-unit lipid membrane, and, in general, they contain a thick layer (20-80 nm) of peptidoglycan responsible for retaining the Gram stain. A number of other bacteria-that are bounded by ...
Research within the past decade has revealed that a large fraction of bacterial surface proteins are covalently anchored to the cell wall by the action of sortase enzymes, in a universally conserved process that is important for infectivity. This chapter presents a review of the structural basis of sortase-mediated cell wall anchoring, drawing on recent structural, biochemical, and bioinformatic studies of this enzyme family. In addition to embedding proteins into the underlying membrane (e.g., membrane proteins and lipoproteins), gram-positive bacteria have developed several methods to display surface proteins, each with its own distinctive structural features. It has long been known that some proteins in gram-positive bacteria are covalently linked to the cell wall, but the enzymes that place them there have only recently been identified. SrtA-related proteins were found in nearly all gram-positive bacteria with sequenced genomes and, in several cases, were demonstrated to be key determinants of

Aztreonam blood agar, a new selective medium for Gram positive aerobic bacteria, was evaluated in comparison with conventional media for skin swabs. Aztreonam agar increased the number of isolates of Staphylococcus aureus by 17%. By producing purer growths on primary isolation, it significantly speeded up the identification and sensitivity testing of staphylococci and streptococci. All major Gram positive aerobic pathogens grow on this medium. Aztreonam agar is now an established addition to our culture media. It is used for swabs which are likely to have a mixed Gram positive and Gram negative flora, such as ears, burns, ulcers, and for the sputa of patients with cystic fibrosis.. ...

The ability to deconstruct plant biomass without conventional pretreatment has made members of the genus Caldicellulosiruptor the target of investigation for the consolidated processing of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuels and bioproducts. These Gram-positive bacteria are hyperthermophilic anaerobes and the most thermophilic cellulolytic organisms so far described. They use both C5 and C6 sugars simultaneously and have the ability to grow well on xylan, a major component of plant cell walls. This is an important advantage for their use to efficiently convert biomass at yields sufficient for an industrial process. For commodity chemicals, yield from substrate is perhaps the most important economic factor. In an attempt to improve even further the ability of C. bescii to use xylan, we introduced two xylanases from Acidothermus cellulolyticus. Acel_0180 includes tandem carbohydrate-binding modules (CBM2 and CBM3) located at the C-terminus, one of which, CBM2, is not present in C. bescii. Also, ...
A method to inhibit the production of exoproteins from Gram positive bacteria, such as harmful proteins produced by Staphylococcus species, is described. The method is particularly useful to inhibit the production of TSST-1, alpha-toxin and/or enterotoxins A, B and C from Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The method is based on exposing Gram positive bacteria to alkyl polyglycoside incorporated into an absorbent product. Alternate methods include bringing Gram positive bacteria into contact with the alkyl polyglycoside in other forms, e.g., when formulated with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or incorporated in or on a non-absorbent substrate. Typically, the alkyl polyglycoside has a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) of at least about 10 and an alkyl group with an average of 8 to 14 carbon atoms.
The search for more active antimicrobial agents is a persistent process. Moreover, increasing prevalence of resistant miroorganisms to common antimicrobial agents necessitates the search for new active compounds. To this end, we prepared a series of novel compounds containing both cis-gem-dichlorocyclopropane and aromatic carbamate moieties-some with mono and dichloro substitution 9a-f. For comparison purposes known and new compounds containing four carbon spacers, both alkane 7a-f and cis alkene 8a-f dicarbamate analogues were also prepared. All compounds were characterized by NMR, FTIR and HR-MS Spectrometry. The prepared compounds were screened against representative gram negative bacteria, yeast and gram positive bacteria. Excellent trends for antimicrobial activity were observed mainly against gram positive bacteria. The cis-gem-dichlorocyclopropane spacer targets (Series 9) exhibited the strongest activity with three out of the six compounds from series 9 having activity against (S. aureus ...

Then, in the first decade of the 20th century, German physician Paul Ehrlich noticed that certain chemical dyes coloured some bacteria but not others, meaning that certain bacteria could be selectively targeted, which is pretty important in a medicine. (The selectivity principle, by the way, is how the gram test works. It differentiates between gram positive bacteria, which have a thick cell wall made of a protein called peptidoglycan, and gram negative bacteria, which dont, because a violet stain stays on the peptidoglycan of the gram-positive bacteria and not on the gram-negatives ones. So you just add the chemicals and check if the bacteria are violet or not.) Anyway, Ehrlich then tested a ton of drugs on rabbits infected with syphilis and eventually came up with Salvarsan, a literal lifesaver for sufferers of syphilis, which was extremely common at the time ...

Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) and their derivatives are known for their pronounced antibacterial effects against gram-positive bacteria. However, it is only possible to achieve synergistic effects through a targeted combination of the active ingredients. A recent in vitro study demonstrated the influence of various MCFAs on the growth of swine-specific pathogenic germs.
FPs have wide applications in imaging bacterial gene expression, promoter activity, and localization of proteins. In comparison to enzymatic reporters, a clear advantage is the ability to monitor gene activity in intact bacteria, a method that stands in contrast to the use of enzymatic reporters, such as β-lactamase or chloramphenicol acetyltransferase, which require lysis of cells and release of the cytosol in order to assess reporter activity. A disadvantage of FPs is that not all bacteria are able to express them at high levels. Here, we were able to show superior expression of two codon-optimized FPs, YFPopt and CFPopt, in the low-genomic-GC-content pathogens B. anthracis and S. aureus.. Initial sequence comparison between the original FPs and codon-optimized ones with regard to codon usage showed high discrepancies compared to intrinsic B. anthracis genes, making them good candidates for codon optimization. By lowering the GC content substantially and adapting the codon usages of ...

So obviously we have a big problem with antibiotic resistance. Most of our antibiotics originate from bacteria themselves (or are synthetic variations on scaffolds which originate from bacteria). I have heard it asserted that using antibacterials derived from plants would lessen the problem. One argument for the use of plants is that the bacteria from which we derive an antibiotic must themselves already be resistant to that antibiotic, meaning that the allele for resistance is already in the bacterial gene pool and when we exert a selection pressure by using the antibiotic, resistance will eventually appear among pathogenic species. Another argument I have heard is that plants can provide a lot of structurally diverse metabolites from which we might discover new classes of antibacterials.. Is there anything else to this?. (I know I have answered my own question to an extent, but I am wondering whether there are any other good reasons to look to plants for the next generation of antibacterial ...
