Enhancement of Swarming and Inhibition of Prodigiosin in Serratia marcescens by Glyceryl Trinitrate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction:Serratia marcescens is a gram-negative pathogen of many species. Its pathogenicity and survival are linked to its capacity build biofilms as well strong inherent resistance antimicrobials cleaning agents. Objectives: To analyse the impact glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) on gene expression QS-related genes (rssB, rsmA,and pigP) S. marcescens. Methodology: The broth microdilution technique estimated bactericidal effectiveness trinitrate. presence rssB, pigP in isolates was detected using PCR. qRT-PCR used assess effect GTN pigPgene expression. Results: results demonstrated that has no growth. Furthermore, were located all their downregulated due presence. Conclusion: can act promising anti-quorum sensing agent reference

Review of Prodigiosin, Pigmentation in Serratia marcescens
Prodigiosins, a family of natural red pigments characterized by a common pyrrolylpyrromethane skeleton, are produced by various bacteria that first characterized from Serratia marcescens. This pigment is a promising drug owing to its reported characteristics of having antifungal, immunosuppressive and anti-proliferative activity. From an industrial point of view to obtain optimal conditions to ...
متن کاملDefects in prodigiosin formation by L-forms of Serratia marcescens.
An L-form of Serratia marcescens has previously been shown incapable of producing the red pigment, prodigiosin, characteristic of the parent bacteria. Mutants of S. marcesens, unable to form one or the other of the two prodigiosin precursors, 4-methoxy-2,2'-bipyrrole-5-carboxaldehyde or 2-methyl-3-n-amylpyrrole, were used to test the nature of the L-form defect. The L-forms failed to form suffi...
متن کاملThe LysR Transcription Factor, HexS, Is Required for Glucose Inhibition of Prodigiosin Production by Serratia marcescens.
Generation of many useful microbe-derived secondary metabolites, including the red pigment prodigiosin of the bacterium Serratia marcescens, is inhibited by glucose. In a previous report, a genetic approach was used to determine that glucose dehydrogenase activity (GDH) is required for inhibiting prodigiosin production and transcription of the prodigiosin biosynthetic operon (pigA-N). However, ...
متن کاملA Serratia marcescens PigP Homolog Controls Prodigiosin Biosynthesis, Swarming Motility and Hemolysis and Is Regulated by cAMP-CRP and HexS
Swarming motility and hemolysis are virulence-associated determinants for a wide array of pathogenic bacteria. The broad host-range opportunistic pathogen Serratia marcescens produces serratamolide, a small cyclic amino-lipid, that promotes swarming motility and hemolysis. Serratamolide is negatively regulated by the transcription factors HexS and CRP. Positive regulators of serratamolide produ...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of prodigiosin, a secondary metabolite of Serratia marcescens.
Prodigiosenes (prodigiosin and prodigiosin-like pigments) are known to be synthesized by only one genus of Eubacteriales and by two genera of Actinomycetales. Biosynthesis by Serratia marcescens occurs over a relatively narrow range of temperatures, although the bacteria grow over a broad range. When cultures of S. marcescens were incubated at 27 C in 1.0% casein hydrolysate, viable count and p...
