Extremely Thermophilic Marine Bacteria
A novel extremely thermophilic bacterium was isolated from a shallow marine hydrothermal vent environment (depth, 22 m) in Tachibana Bay, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. The cells of this organism were gramnegative rods. Growth occurred at temperatures between 50 and 85°C (optimum temperature, 80°C; doubling time at optimum temperature, 90 min), at pH 5.5 and 9.0 (optimum pH, 7.0), and in the prese...
متن کاملBiodesulfurization of Dibenzothiophene by a Newly Isolated Thermophilic Bacteria Strain
Microbiological analyses of soil chronically exposed to petroleum complex compounds of some oil springs in south of Iran resulted in isolation and purification of a new native thermophilic strain which is capable to desulfurize petroleum sulfur compounds by 4-S mechanism. Dibenzothiophene (DBT) was selected as a complex sulfur compound model and many experiments were done to identify the me...
متن کاملPhagocytosis of live versus heat-killed bacteria by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
Heat-killed Pseudomonas aeruginosa are phagocytized much more slowly by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes than are the live organisms. The post-phagocytic increase in hexose monophosphate shunt activity (HMS) parallels the ingestion of the bacteria. The addition of serum to the live organisms causes a marked increase in both ingestion and cellular HMS activity; serum actually causes an inhibit...
متن کاملImmunomodulation by Yersinia enterocolitica: comparison of live and heat-killed bacteria.
This study compared the immunomodulating properties of viable and killed Yersinia enterocolitica O9 in BALB/c mice. At 10 days after infection by the intragastric route, ex vivo assays showed a suppression of spleen cell proliferation in response to Salmonella lipopolysaccharide, concanavalin A and heat-killed yersiniae. Mice infected with Y. enterocolitica O9 for 10 days resisted the challenge...
متن کاملAntibacterial peptides from thermophilic bacteria
It is becoming interestingly apparent that innovations of the classical antibiotics are not effective, that induces need for novel drugs. Peptide antibiotics exhibit a group of secondary metabolites with hydrophobic and cyclic structures containing d-amino acidc like compounds with more resistant to proteolytic degradation. Bacterial peptides can possess bactericidal, fungicidal, metal chelatin...
