    Notes: A PCR protocol for the detection of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria based on soxB genes that are essential for thiosulfate oxidation by sulfur-oxidizing bacteria of various phylogenetic groups which use the ‘Paracoccus sulfur oxidation’ pathway was developed. Five degenerate primers were used to specifically amplify fragments of soxB genes from different sulfur-oxidizing bacteria previously shown to oxidize thiosulfate. The PCR yielded a soxB fragment of approximately 1000 bp from most of the bacteria. Amino acid and nucleotide sequences of soxB from reference strains as well as from new isolates and environmental DNA from a hydrothermal vent habitat in the North Fiji Basin were compared and used to infer relationships of soxB between sulfur-oxidizing bacteria belonging to various 16S rDNA-based phylogenetic groups. Major phylogenetic lines derived from 16S rDNA were confirmed by soxB phylogeny. Thiosulfate-oxidizing green sulfur bacteria formed a coherent group by their soxB sequences. Likewise, clearly separated branches demonstrated the distant relationship of representatives of α-, β-, and γ-Proteobacteria including representative species of the former genus Thiobacillus (now Halothiobacillus–γ-Proteobacteria, Thiobacillus–β-Proteobacteria and Starkeya–α-Proteobacteria). This general picture emerged although apparent evidence for lateral transfer of the soxB gene is indicated and comparison of soxB phylogeny and 16S rDNA phylogeny points to the significance of this gene transfer in hydrothermal vent bacterial communities of the North Fiji Basin.

    Notes: Abstract Osmotic adaption by halophilic and halotolerant bacteria is generally achieved by the accumulation or synthesis of several organic solutes. Accumulation by uptake from the medium is preferred over biosynthesis. The chemical nature of the major solute is important in determining the degree of osmotolerance of the organism. Glycine betaine accumulation confers a greater degree of osmotolerance than proline, which in turn confers more osmotolerance than glutamate accumulation. The occurrence and uptake of these solutes in a variety of eubacteria is reviewed.

    Notes: Abstract The quinone composition of the recognized species of the phototrophic purple nonsulfur bacteria, the Ectothiorhodospiraceae, and some Chromatiaceae species has been determined. Altogether more than 50 strains of 33 species have been investigated. Some of the purple nonsulfur bacteria have Q-10 as sole quinone component, while others have Q-10, Q-9, or Q-8, respectively, together with menaquinones of the same isoprenoid chain length as the major components. Rhodoquinone is present in Rhodospirillum rubrum and Rhodospirillum photometricum. The Ectothiorhodospira species have either Q-8 and MK-8, like the Chromatiaceae species, or Q-7 and MK-7 as the major components.

    Streptocollin, a Type IV Lanthipeptide Produced by Streptomyces collinus Tü 365 (2015)
    Wiley
    In:  ChemBioChem, 16 (18). pp. 2615-2623.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-06-20
    Description: Lanthipeptides are ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified microbial secondary metabolites. Here, we report the identification and isolation of streptocollin from Streptomyces collinus Tü 365, a new member of class IV lanthipeptides. Insertion of the constitutive ermE* promoter upstream of the lanthipeptide synthetase gene stcL resulted in peptide production. The streptocollin gene cluster was heterologously expressed in S. coelicolor M1146 and M1152 with 3.5- and 5.5-fold increased yields, respectively. The structure and ring topology of streptocollin were determined by high resolution MS/MS analysis. Streptocollin contains four macrocyclic rings, with one lanthionine and three methyllanthionine residues. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the isolation of a class IV lanthipeptide in preparative amounts, and on the successful heterologous expression of a class IV lanthipeptide gene cluster.

    Synthesis and Cytotoxic Activity of a Small Naphthoquinone Library: First Synthesis of Juglonbutin (2014)
    Wiley
    In:  European Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2014 (24). pp. 5318-5330.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-06-20
    Description: A synthetic protocol has been designed to synthesize grecoketidone (2k), 5-hydroxylapachol (2g), and the recently discovered natural products juglonbutin (2o) and its derivatives, leading to a small library of different 1,4-naphthoquinones with the intention of finding new active compounds. Within our collection, 2-O-alkylated naphthoquinones with an ester functionality in the side-chain and a free OH group at C-5 showed the best activities. Compounds 2f, 2m, and 2n showed GI50 values against 12 tumor cell lines in the lower micromolar range and juglonbutin (2o) showed remarkably efficient inhibition of the glycogen synthase kinase 3β with an IC50 value of 2.03 μM. Furthermore, studies on the mode of action of the most active cytotoxic compounds have been carried out. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the synthesis of juglonbutin (2o) and its biological activity.

    Spatial distribution of sponge-associated bacteria in the Mediterranean sponge Tethya aurantium (2007)
    Wiley
    In:  FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 59 (1). pp. 47-63.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-09-23
    Description: The local distribution of the bacterial community associated with the marine sponge Tethya aurantium Pallas 1766 was studied. Distinct bacterial communities were found to inhabit the endosome and cortex. Clear differences in the associated bacterial populations were demonstrated by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and analysis of 16S rRNA gene clone libraries. Specifically associated phylotypes were identified for both regions: a new phylotype of Flexibacteria was recovered only from the sponge cortex, while Synechococcus species were present mainly in the sponge endosome. Light conduction via radiate spicule bundles conceivably facilitates the unusual association of Cyanobacteria with the sponge endosome. Furthermore, a new monophyletic cluster of sponge-derived 16S rRNA gene sequences related to the Betaproteobacteria was identified using analysis of 16S rRNA gene clone libraries. Members of this cluster were specifically associated with both cortex and endosome of T. aurantium.

    Pigments accumulation via light and oxygen in Rhodobacter capsulatus strain XJ-1 isolated from saline soil (2014)
    Wiley
    In:  Journal of Basic Microbiology, 54 (8). pp. 828-834.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-07-03
    Description: A Rhodobacter capsulatus strain, designated XJ-1, isolated from saline soil, accumulated almost only one kind of bacteriochlorophyll a anaerobically in the light, aerobically in the light and dark, and the relative contents of the bacteriochlorophyll a were 44.61, 74.89, and 77.53% of the total pigments, respectively. A new purple pigment appeared only in aerobic-light grown cells, exhibited absorption maxima at 355, 389, 520, 621, and 755 nm, especially distinctly unusual peak at 621 nm, whereas vanished in anaerobic-light and in aerobic-dark culture. Spheroidene and OH–spheroidene predominated in anaerobic phototrophic cultures. Spheroidenone was the sole carotenoid when exposed to both light and oxygen. The second keto-carotenoids, OH–spheroidenone, presented only in aerobic-dark culture in addition to spheroidenone. Strain XJ-1 would be a good model organism for the further illustration of the regulation of bacteriochlorophyll biosynthesis gene expression in response to unique habitat.

    In:  Chemistry - a European Journal, 22 (22). pp. 7452-7462.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-02-01
    Description: Six new (2, 4–8) and two known polyketides with a basic structure of an anthraquinone-xanthone were isolated from mycelia and culture broth of the fungus Engyodontium album strain LF069. The structures and relative configurations of these compounds were established by spectroscopic means, and their absolute configurations were defined mainly by comparison of quantum chemical TDDFT calculated and experimental ECD spectra. Compounds 2 and 4–8 were given the trivial names engyodontochone A (2) and B–F (4–8). Compounds 5–8 represent the first example of a 23,28 seco-beticolin carbon skeleton. The relative and absolute configurations of two known substances JBIR-97/98 (1) and JBIR-99 (3) were determined for the first time. All isolated compounds were subjected to bioactivity assays. Compounds 1–4 exhibited inhibitory activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that was 10-fold stronger than chloramphenicol.

    Molecular analysis of the distribution and phylogeny of the soxB gene among sulfur-oxidizing bacteria - evolution of the Sox sulfur-oxidizing enzyme system (2007)
    Wiley
    In:  Environmental Microbiology, 9 (12). pp. 2957-2977.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-09-23
    Description: The soxB gene encodes the SoxB component of the periplasmic thiosulfate-oxidizing Sox enzyme complex, which has been proposed to be widespread among the various phylogenetic groups of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) that convert thiosulfate to sulfate with and without the formation of sulfur globules as intermediate. Indeed, the comprehensive genetic and genomic analyses presented in the present study identified the soxB gene in 121 phylogenetically and physiologically divergent SOB, including several species for which thiosulfate utilization has not been reported yet. In first support of the previously postulated general involvement of components of the Sox enzyme complex in the thiosulfate oxidation process of sulfur-storing SOB, the soxB gene was detected in all investigated photo- and chemotrophic species that form sulfur globules during thiosulfate oxidation (Chromatiaceae, Chlorobiaceae, Ectothiorhodospiraceae, Thiothrix, Beggiatoa, Thiobacillus, invertebrate symbionts and free-living relatives). The SoxB phylogeny reflected the major 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic lineages of the investigated SOB, although topological discrepancies indicated several events of lateral soxB gene transfer among the SOB, e.g. its independent acquisition by the anaerobic anoxygenic phototrophic lineages from different chemotrophic donor lineages. A putative scenario for the proteobacterial origin and evolution of the Sox enzyme system in SOB is presented considering the phylogenetic, genomic (sox gene cluster composition) and geochemical data.
