A mechanism of resistance to hydrogen peroxide in Vibrio rumoiensis S-1.

چکیده
A possible mechanism of resistance to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in Vibrio rumoiensis, isolated from the H2O2-rich drain pool of a fish processing plant, was examined. When V. rumoiensis cells were inoculated into medium containing either 5 mM or no H2O2, they grew in similar manners. A spontaneous mutant strain, S-4, derived from V. rumoiensis and lacking catalase activity did not grow at all in the presence of 5 mM H2O2. These results suggest that catalase is inevitably involved in the resistance and survival of V. rumoiensis in the presence of H2O2. Catalase activity was constitutively present in V. rumoiensis cells grown in the absence of H2O2, and its occurrence was dependent on the age of the cells, a characteristic which is observed for the HP II-type catalase of Escherichia coli. The presence of the HP II-type catalase in V. rumoiensis cells was evidenced by partial sequencing of the gene encoding the HP II-type catalase from this organism. A notable difference between V. rumoiensis and E. coli is that catalase is accumulated at very high levels ( approximately 2% of the total soluble proteins) in V. rumoiensis, in contrast to the case for E. coli. When V. rumoiensis cells which had been exposed to 5 mM H2O2 were centrifuged, most intracellular proteins, including catalase, were recovered in the medium. On the other hand, when V. rumoiensis cells were grown on plates containing various concentrations of H2O2, individual cells had a colony-forming ability inferior to those of E. coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Thus, it is suggested that when V. rumoiensis cells are exposed to high concentrations of H2O2, most cells will immediately be broken by H2O2. In addition, the cells which have had little or no damage will start to grow in a medium where almost all H2O2 has been decomposed by the catalase released from broken cells.

A novel facultatively psychrophilic bacterium, strain S-1, which exhibits extraordinarily high catalase activity was isolated from the drain pool of a fish product processing plant that uses H2O2 as a bleaching and microbicidal agent. The catalase activity of the isolate was 1 or 2 orders of magnitude higher than those of Corynebacterium glutamicum, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas fluorescen...
متن کاملSpecific growth rate plays a critical role in hydrogen peroxide resistance of the marine oligotrophic ultramicrobacterium sphingomonas alaskensis strain RB2256.
The marine oligotrophic ultramicrobacterium Sphingomonas alaskensis RB2256 has a physiology that is distinctly different from that of typical copiotrophic marine bacteria, such as Vibrio angustum S14. This includes a high level of inherent stress resistance and the absence of starvation-induced stress resistance to hydrogen peroxide. In addition to periods of starvation in the ocean, slow, nutr...

A novel strain Vibrio aphrogenes sp. nov. strain CA-1004T isolated from the surface of seaweed collected on the coast of Mie Prefecture in 1994 [1] was characterized using polyphasic taxonomy including multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) and a genome based comparison. Both phylogenetic analyses on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences and MLSA based on eight protein-coding genes (gapA, gyrB, fts...

Vibrio litoralis sp. nov., isolated from a Yellow Sea tidal flat in Korea.
Two Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacterial strains, MANO22D(T) and MANO22P, were isolated from a tidal flat area of Dae-Chun, Chung-Nam, Korea. The isolates were rod-shaped and were motile by means of one or more polar flagella. They grew at 1-12 % NaCl, 4-45 degrees C and pH 4.1-8.8 and were oxidase-positive, arginine dihydrolase-negative and sensitive to the vibriostatic agent O/129...
