Plant-Adapted Escherichia coli Show Increased Lettuce Colonizing Ability, Resistance to Oxidative Stress and Chemotactic Response
BACKGROUND Escherichia coli is a widespread gut commensal and often a versatile pathogen of public health concern. E. coli are also frequently found in different environments and/or alternative secondary hosts, such as plant tissues. The lifestyle of E. coli in plants is poorly understood and has potential implications for food safety. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS This work shows that a human c...
متن کاملEvolution of an Escherichia coli protein with increased resistance to oxidative stress.
L-1,2-Propanediol:NAD+ 1-oxidoreductase of Escherichia coli is encoded by the fucO gene, a member of the regulon specifying dissimilation of L-fucose. The enzyme normally functions during fermentative growth to regenerate NAD from NADH by reducing the metabolic intermediate L-lactaldehyde to propanediol which is excreted. During aerobic growth L-lactaldehyde is converted to L-lactate and thence...
متن کاملChemotactic Response and Adaptation Dynamics in Escherichia coli
Adaptation of the chemotaxis sensory pathway of the bacterium Escherichia coli is integral for detecting chemicals over a wide range of background concentrations, ultimately allowing cells to swim towards sources of attractant and away from repellents. Its biochemical mechanism based on methylation and demethylation of chemoreceptors has long been known. Despite the importance of adaptation for...
متن کاملMouse intestine selects nonmotile flhDC mutants of Escherichia coli MG1655 with increased colonizing ability and better utilization of carbon sources.
D-gluconate which is primarily catabolized via the Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway, has been implicated as being important for colonization of the streptomycin-treated mouse large intestine by Escherichia coli MG1655, a human commensal strain. In the present study, we report that an MG1655 Deltaedd mutant defective in the ED pathway grows poorly not only on gluconate as a sole carbon source but o...
متن کاملUbiquinone limits oxidative stress in Escherichia coli.
Ubiquinone is an essential redox component of the aerobic respiratory chains of bacteria and mitochondria. It is well established that mammalian ubiquinone can function in its reduced form (ubiquinol) as a lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing lipid peroxidation. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that prokaryotic ubiquinone is involved in the defence against oxidative stress...
