Formation, Isolation and Characterization of Trehalose Dimycolates from Rhodococcus erythropolis Grown on n-Alkanes
Rhodococcus erythropolis DSM 432 15 produced a surface-active trehalose lipid whose formation was induced by n-alkanes to a maximum of 2.1 g 1-1 in a 50 1 batch culture on 2% (w/v) n-alkanes of chain length C13 to CIS. The glycolipid was extracted from the biomass with n-hexane and was purified by repeated chromatography on silica gel. It contained aptrehalose as the sole non-reducing sugar. Th...
متن کاملRhodococcus erythropolis and Its γ-Lactone Catabolic Pathway: An Unusual Biocontrol System That Disrupts Pathogen Quorum Sensing Communication
Rhodococcus erythropolis is an environmental Gram-positive Actinobacterium with a versatile metabolism involved in various bioconversions and degradations. Rhodococci are best known for their great potential in numerous decontamination and industrial processes. However, they can also prevent plant disease by disrupting quorum sensing-based communication of Gram-negative soft-rot bacteria, by de...
متن کاملRhodococcus erythropolis Encephalitis in Patient Receiving Rituximab
To the Editor: Rhodococcus spp. infections occur predominantly in immunocompromised patients, and most infections are caused by Rhodococcus equi (1). Seven cases of R. erythropolis infections in humans have been described (2–8). None of these cases included a central nervous system infection (Table). We report a case of R. erythropolis meningoencephalitis in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis ...
متن کاملBiotransformation of halogenated compounds by lyophilized cells of Rhodococcus erythropolis in a continuous solid-gas biofilter
The irreversible hydrolysis of 1-chlorobutane to 1-butanol and HCl by lyophilized cells of Rhodococcus erythropolis NCIMB 13064, using a solid–gas biofilter, is described as a model reaction. 1-Chlorobutane is hydrolyzed by the haloalkane dehalogenase from R. erythropolis. A critical water thermodynamic activity (aw) of 0.4 is necessary for the enzyme to become active and optimal dehalogenase a...
متن کاملTransposition of the IS21-related element IS1415 in Rhodococcus erythropolis.
Three copies of the IS21-related transposable element IS1415 were identified in Rhodococcus erythropolis NI86/21. Adjacent to one of the IS1415 copies, a 47-bp sequence nearly identical to the conserved 5' end of integrons was found. Accurate transposition of IS1415 carrying a chloramphenicol resistance gene (Tn5561) was demonstrated following delivery from a suicide vector to R. erythropolis SQ1.
