Polyphosphate stores enhance the ability of Vibrio cholerae to overcome environmental stresses in a low-phosphate environment.
Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of Asiatic cholera, has been reported to make large quantities of polyphosphate. Inorganic polyphosphate is a ubiquitous molecule with a variety of functions in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. We constructed a V. cholerae mutant with a deletion in the polyphosphate kinase (ppk) gene. The mutant was defective in polyphosphate biosynthesis. Deletion of ppk h...
متن کاملCatalases Promote Resistance of Oxidative Stress in Vibrio cholerae
Oxidative stress is a major challenge faced by bacteria. Many bacteria control oxidative stress resistance pathways through the transcriptional regulator OxyR. The human pathogen Vibrio cholerae is a Gram-negative bacterium that is the causative agent of cholera. V. cholerae lives in both aquatic environments and human small intestines, two environments in which it encounters reactive oxygen sp...
متن کاملVibrio cholerae O1 strain TSI-4 produces the exopolysaccharide materials that determine colony morphology, stress resistance, and biofilm formation.
Vibrio cholerae O1 strain TSI-4 (El Tor, Ogawa) can shift to a rugose colony morphology from its normal translucent colony morphology in response to nutrient starvation. We have investigated differences between the rugose and translucent forms of V. cholerae O1 strain TSI-4. Electron microscopic examination of the rugose form of TSI-4 (TSI-4/R) revealed thick, electron-dense exopolysaccharide m...
متن کاملMerR and ChrR mediate blue light induced photo-oxidative stress response at the transcriptional level in Vibrio cholerae
Blue light (BL) is a major environmental factor that affects the physiology, behavior, and infectivity of bacteria as it contributes to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) while increasing photo-oxidative stress in cells. However, precise photo-oxidative response mechanism in non-phototrophic bacteria is yet to be elucidated. In this study, we investigated the effect of BL in Vibrio...
متن کاملThe effect of ZnO nanoparticles on the Vibrio species isolated from coastal water of the Persian Gulf port
Introduction: Using zinc oxide nanoparticles, as a catalyst removal of fecal pollution indicator bacteria in water, has been studied as a model of bacterial contamination. This study aims to determine the toxicity and selection of appropriate indicators to evaluate the toxicity of zinc oxide nanoparticles on the isolated bacteria Vibrio species of Bushehr coastal waters. Methods: In this experi...
