    Notes: In Nitrosomonas europaea, ammonia monooxygenase (AMO) and hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (HAO) catalyse the oxidation of ammonia (NH3) to nitrite (NO2−). A transcript of 3500 bases hybridizes to probes for amoA and amoB (genes that code for AMO proteins). A transcript of 2100 bases hybridizes to probes for hao (the gene that codes for HAO). Induction of the mRNAs detected by amo and hao probes required the presence of ammonium (NH4+). To correlate new levels of mRNA with de novo activity, existent mRNA pools and AMO activity were depleted prior to induction by NH4+. The mRNAs of AMO and HAO were depleted by depriving the cells of energy for at least 8 h; AMO activity was inactivated with acetylene (C2H2) after mRNA depletion. In cells treated this way, levels of new AMO mRNA and de novo AMO enzyme activity were correlated with increased NH4+ concentrations up to 1 mM after 3 h of incubation. HAO mRNA also increased in the NH4+-treated cells. Other proteins and RNAs induced by NH4+ were detected in 14CO2-labelling experiments. The AMO and HAO mRNAs were preferentially synthesized during energy-limiting conditions.

    Notes: Nitrosomonas europaea contains two nearly identical copies of the operon, amoCAB, which encodes the ammonia monooxygenase (AMO) enzyme. Cells of N. europaea containing single mutations in either amoA or amoB gene copies were incubated in ammonium both prior to and after exposure to acetylene or light. For each strain, the O2 consumption rates and amounts of AmoA polypeptide, the active site-containing subunit of AMO, produced in each strain were determined. Strains carrying a mutation in either the amoA2 or amoB2 genes responded similarly to wild-type cells, but the strains carrying mutations in the amoA1 or amoB1 genes responded differently from the wild-type, or from each other. These results suggest that the copies of amoA and amoB are differentially regulated upon exposure to different external stimuli.

    Notes: Pseudomonas butanovora grows on butane by means of an inducible soluble alkane monooxygenase (sBMO). The induction of sBMO was studied using the wild type and a sBMO reporter strain. The reporter strain has the lacZ::kan cassette inserted into bmoX, the gene that encodes the α-subunit of the hydroxylase of sBMO. The β-galactosidase activity in the reporter strain was not induced by butane, but was induced by 1-butanol and butyraldehyde. P. butanovora expressed sBMO product-independent activity at 3.0 ± 1 nmol ethylene oxide min−1 mg protein−1 in stationary phase. The sBMO product-independent activity likely primes the expression of sBMO by butane.

    Description: Nitrosospira briensis C-128 is an ammonia-oxidizing bacterium isolated from an acid agricultural soil. N. briensis C-128 was sequenced with PacBio RS technologies at the DOE-Joint Genome Institute through their Community Science Program (2010). The high-quality finished genome contains one chromosome of 3.21 Mb and no plasmids. We identified 3073 gene models, 3018 of which are protein coding. The two-way average nucleotide identity between the chromosomes of Nitrosospira multiformis ATCC 25196 and Nitrosospira briensis C-128 was found to be 77.2 %. Multiple copies of modules encoding chemolithotrophic metabolism were identified in their genomic context. The gene inventory supports chemolithotrophic metabolism with implications for function in soil environments.
