Production of indole from L-tryptophan and effects of these compounds on biofilm formation by Fusobacterium nucleatum ATCC 25586.
The l-tryptophan degradation product indole is a purported extracellular signaling molecule that influences biofilm formation in various bacteria. Here we analyzed the mechanisms of indole production in Fusobacterium nucleatum and the effects of tryptophan and indole on F. nucleatum planktonic and biofilm cells. The amino acid sequence deduced from the fn1943 gene in F. nucleatum ATCC 25586 was...
متن کاملProduction of hydrogen sulfide by two enzymes associated with biosynthesis of homocysteine and lanthionine in Fusobacterium nucleatum subsp. nucleatum ATCC 25586.
Fusobacterium nucleatum produces a large amount of the toxic metabolite hydrogen sulfide in the oral cavity. Here, we report the molecular basis of F. nucleatum H(2)S production, which is associated with two different enzymes: the previously reported Cdl (Fn1220) and the newly identified Lcd (Fn0625). SDS-PAGE analysis with activity staining revealed that crude enzyme extracts from F. nucleatum...
متن کاملIn vitro Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Activity of Artocarpus Lakoocha (Moraceae) Extract against Some Oral Pathogens
Purpose: To evaluate the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity of A. lakoocha extract against oral pathogens by an in vitro method. Methods: The dried powder of the aqueous extract of A. lakoocha was purchased from a Thai traditional drug store. Representative strains of oral pathogens (Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175, Streptococcus sobrinus ATCC 33478, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 19433, Lactob...
متن کاملAntibacterial Activity of Myristica fragrans against Oral Pathogens
Myristica fragrans Houtt is mostly cultivated for spices in Penang Island, Malaysia. The ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts of flesh, mace and seed of Myristica fragrans was evaluated the bactericidal potential against three Gram-positive cariogenic bacteria (Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175, Streptococcus mitis ATCC 6249, and Streptococcus salivarius ATCC 13419) and three Gram-negative periodon...
متن کاملA chemical and biological toolbox for Type Vd secretion: Characterization of the phospholipase A1 autotransporter FplA from Fusobacterium nucleatum
Fusobacterium nucleatum is an oral pathogen that is linked to multiple human infections and colorectal cancer. Strikingly, F. nucleatum achieves virulence in the absence of large, multiprotein secretion systems (Types I, II, III, IV, and VI), which are widely used by Gram-negative bacteria for pathogenesis. By contrast, F. nucleatum strains contain genomic expansions of Type V secreted effector...
