Abstract:

Aeromonas hydrophila is a gram-negative bacterium which associated with gastrointestinal diseases and septicaemia. This pathogenic bacterium has several virulence factors ranging from pili to the excreted protein which called (Aerolysin) with minor and major effects, respectively. Additionally, Aeromonas hydrophila is a widely distributed bacterium that commonly causes ulcers in cyprinid fish such as carps and secondary diseases in humans as well. In the present study, characteristics and haemolytic activities of the recombinant Aerolysin protein and optimal conditions for cloning are determined using the synthesized cloning/expression Aerolysin gene, assembled into the Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) through pGEX-6P1 vector, using SDS-PAGE and western blotting techniques. The results declared that, the Aerolysin gene (1482 bp) was cloned by transforming the recombinant pGEX-6P1 vector into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) as a prokaryotic expression host. The SDS-PAGE results indicated that the estimated protein size was 54 KDa. Recombinant Aerolysin protein synthesis at both selected temperatures, 25°C and 37°C, indicated that 1 mM of isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) was the optimum concentration for induction. However, the recombinant protein was unable to synthesize in the absence of IPTG inducer. Western blot analysis indicated the efficient sensitivity and specificity of the recombinant Aerolysin protein. In conclusion, the recombinant protein showed potential advantages for immunoassay approaches in order to decrease the economic losses caused by disease in the aquaculture industry.

Cloning, expression and characterization of aerolysin from Aeromonas hydrophila in Escherichia coli.

Aerolysin is a toxin (protein in nature) secreted by the strains of Aeromonas spp. and plays an important role in the virulence of Aeromonas strains. It has also found several applications such as for detection of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins etc. A. hydrophila is a ubiquitous Gram-negative bacterium which causes frequent harm to the aquaculture. To obtain a significant ...

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

Cloning of EprA1 gene of Aeromonas hydrophila in Lactococcus lactis

Bacterial-based systems as live vectors for the delivery of heterologous antigens offer a number of advantages as vaccination strategies. Developments in genetic engineering have given Gram-positive lacticacid bacteria (LAB) the advantage of being used as a host expression system for antigen delivery to inducethe immune response. A fragment containing the full length of the “eprA1” ...

Construction of vaccine from Lactococcus lactis bacteria using Aeromonas hydrophila virulent Aerolysin gene

 In this study the forward and reverse primers were designated to amplify the segments (~250 bps and ~650 bps) of the gene coding domains 1 and 4 of aerolysin of Aeromonas hydrophila. These two domains are involved in pathogenesis of the aerolysin gene. Sequences for two restriction enzymes, Pst I and Hind III, were included in the forward and reverse primers respectively. These restriction enz...
