Cloning, expression, and purification of choline dehydrogenase from the moderate halophile Halomonas elongata.
Choline dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.99.1) catalyzes the four-electron oxidation of choline to glycine-betaine via a betaine-aldehyde intermediate. Such a reaction is of considerable interest for biotechnological applications in that transgenic plants engineered with bacterial glycine-betaine-synthesizing enzymes have been shown to have enhanced tolerance towards various environmental stresses, such a...
متن کاملSynthesis of glycine betaine from exogenous choline in the moderately halophilic bacterium halomonas elongata
The role of choline in osmoprotection in the moderate halophile Halomonas elongata has been examined. Transport and conversion of choline to betaine began immediately after addition of choline to the growth medium. Intracellular accumulation of betaine synthesized from choline was salt dependent up to 2.5 M NaCl. Oxidation of choline was enhanced at 2.0 M NaCl in the presence or absence of exte...
متن کاملHalomonas andesensis sp. nov., a moderate halophile isolated from the saline lake Laguna Colorada in Bolivia.
A moderately halophilic, motile, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, strain LC6(T), was isolated from a water sample of lake Laguna Colorada in the Bolivian Andes. The major cellular fatty acids were C(18 : 1)omega7c, iso-C(16 : 1)omega7c 2-OH, C(16 : 0) and C(12 : 0) 3-OH. The respiratory ubiquinones found in strain LC6(T) were Q-9 (97 %) and Q-8 (3 %). Strain LC6(T) was aerobic, heterotrophi...
متن کاملOsmoprotectants in Halomonas elongata: high-affinity betaine transport system and choline-betaine pathway.
The osmoregulatory pathways of the moderately halophilic bacterium Halomonas elongata DSM 3043 have been investigated. This strain grew optimally at 1.5 to 2 M NaCl in M63 glucose-defined medium. It required at least 0.5 M NaCl for growth, which is a higher concentration than that exhibited by the H. elongata type strain ATCC 33173. Externally provided betaine, choline, or choline-O-sulfate (bu...
متن کاملFunctional expression of the ectoine hydroxylase gene (thpD) from Streptomyces chrysomallus in Halomonas elongata.
The formation of hydroxyectoine in the industrial ectoine producer Halomonas elongata was improved by the heterologous expression of the ectoine hydroxylase gene, thpD, from Streptomyces chrysomallus. The efficient conversion of ectoine to hydroxyectoine was achieved by the concerted regulation of thpD by the H. elongata ectA promoter.
