A novel chitinase inhibitor from a marine bacterium, Pseudomonas sp.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new chitinase inhibitor, CI-4, was isolated from the culture broth of a marine bacterium Pseudomonas sp. IZ208. The structure of CI-4 was determined to be cyclo(L-Arg-D-Pro) by spectral studies and comparison with a synthetic sample. CI-4 showed inhibitory activity against chitinase.

The chitinase C gene PsChiC from Pseudomonas sp. and its synergistic effects on larvicidal activity
Pseudomonas sp. strain TXG6-1, a chitinolytic gram-negative bacterium, was isolated from a vegetable field in Taixing city, Jiangsu Province, China. In this study, a Pseudomonas chitinase C gene (PsChiC) was isolated from the chromosomal DNA of this bacterium using a pair of specific primers. The PsChiC gene consisted of an open reading frame of 1443 nucleotides and encoded 480 amino acid resid...
متن کاملUse of a promoterless lacZ gene insertion to investigate chitinase gene expression in the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. strain S9.
Sequence data for genes encoding 16S rRNA indicated that the marine strain previously named Pseudomonas sp. strain S9 would be better identified as a Pseudoalteromonas sp. By use of transposon mutagenesis, a chitinase-negative mutant of S9 with a lacZ reporter gene insertion was isolated. Part of the interrupted gene was cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence had homology to sequ...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Paenibacillus sp. Strain MY03, a Terrestrial Bacterium Capable of Degrading Multiple Marine-Derived Polysaccharides
The bacterium Paenibacillus sp. strain MY03, isolated from the root soil of cypress, can effectively degrade marine-derived polysaccharides such as agar, alginate, and chitin. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of MY03. Putative enzymes, including 3 agarases, 1 alginate lyase, and 1 chitinase, were found.
متن کاملProduction of bacteriocin by a novel Bacillus sp. strain RF 140, an intestinal bacterium of Caspian Frisian Roach (Rutilus frisii kutum)
Bacteriocins are proteinaceous antibacterial compounds that exhibit bactericidal activity against species closely related to the producer strain. The aim of this research was to investigate the production of bacteriocin by Bacillus spp. isolated from intestinal bacterial flora of the Caspian Frisian Roach (Rutilus frisii kutum). A bacteriocin produced by the bacterium Bacillus cereus strain RF ...

This study aimed to identify the causative of the mass mortality observed in zoeal to post-larval shrimp raised in hatcheries in south Iran. For three consecutive months, samples of nauplii and zoea of Litopenaeus vannamei were collected from an affected hatchery located in the province of Bushehr. Upon culture on marine agar, bacterial colonies that produced white, orange, yellow and red pigme...
