Molecular characterization of the flagellar hook in Bacillus subtilis.
The structure of the Gram-positive flagellum is poorly understood, and Bacillus subtilis encodes three proteins homologous to the flagellar hook protein from Salmonella enterica. Here we generated a modified B. subtilis hook protein that could be fluorescently stained using a cysteine-reactive dye. We used the fluorescently labeled hook to demonstrate that FlgE is the hook structural protein an...
متن کاملPurification and partial characterization of Bacillus subtilis Flagellar hooks.
A method for preparing bacterial flagellar hook structures is described. The method involves isolating intact flagella from a mutant which makes thermally labile flagellar filaments and heat-treating them to disaggregate the filament preferentially. The resulting hook preparation can be separated and purified by velocity and isopycnic centrifugation. The purified hooks sediment at a relative S ...
متن کاملMolecular Diagnosis and Characterization of Bacillus subtilis Isolated from Burn Wound in Iran
Background: Bacillus subtilis refers to stretched and sometimes curved, gram-positive, aerobic, and catalase-positive bacilli, which has thermo-resistant endospores. It has been known as a normal flora in the human but can be pathogens In the case of opportunistic. Also, it can be the pathogen of nosocomial infections such as wound among hospitalized patients. Purpose of this study was to ident...
متن کاملCloning and Enhanced Expression of an Extracellular Alkaline Protease from a Soil Isolate of Bacillus clausii in Bacillus subtilis
in the detergent industry. In this study, the extracellular alkaline serine protease gene, aprE, from Bacillusclausii was amplified by PCR and further cloned and expressed in B. subtilis WB600 using the pWB980 expression vector. Protease activity of the recombinant B. subtilis WB600 harboring the plasmid pWB980/aprEreached up to 1020 U/ml, approximately 3-folds higher than the nativ...
متن کاملResearch Article: Isolation, biochemical and molecular detection of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis from the digestive system of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and its inhibitory effect on Aeromonas hydrophila
Our study was focused on characterization of dominant Bacillus bacteria isolated from the digestive tract of Oncorhynchus mykiss. After 8 weeks, the fish fed with probiotic-free diet were dissected under strictly controlled conditions. Fish intestines were eviscerated and its content diluted to 10−4 using Ringer solution. Two isolated bacteria were Gram-positive, catalase-positive, and oxidase-...
