Electrochemical Potential Influences Phenazine Production, Electron Transfer and Consequently Electric Current Generation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Pseudomonas aeruginosa has gained interest as a redox mediator (phenazines) producer in bioelectrochemical systems. Several biotic and abiotic factors influence the production of phenazines in synergy with the central virulence factors production regulation. It is, however, not clear how the electrochemical environment may influence the production and usage of phenazines by P. aeruginosa. We he...
متن کاملEndogenous phenazine antibiotics promote anaerobic survival of Pseudomonas aeruginosa via extracellular electron transfer.
Antibiotics are increasingly recognized as having other, important physiological functions for the cells that produce them. An example of this is the effect that phenazines have on signaling and community development for Pseudomonas aeruginosa (L. E. Dietrich, T. K. Teal, A. Price-Whelan, and D. K. Newman, Science 321:1203-1206, 2008). Here we show that phenazine-facilitated electron transfer t...
متن کاملLocalized gene expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms.
Gene expression in biofilms is dependent on bacterial responses to the local environmental conditions. Most techniques for studying bacterial gene expression in biofilms characterize average values across the entire population. Here, we describe the use of laser capture microdissection microscopy (LCMM) combined with multiplex quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR) to isolat...
متن کاملIncreased mutability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in biofilms.
OBJECTIVES Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are frequently hypermutable due to selection of mutants with defects in DNA repair genes such as mutS. Since P. aeruginosa grows as a biofilm within the infected CF lung, it is possible that this mode of growth enhances the mutability of the organism thereby increasing the opportunity to derive permanent hypermutat...
متن کاملStratified growth in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms.
In this study, stratified patterns of protein synthesis and growth were demonstrated in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. Spatial patterns of protein synthetic activity inside biofilms were characterized by the use of two green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter gene constructs. One construct carried an isopropyl-beta-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG)-inducible gfpmut2 gene encoding a stable GFP. T...
