چکیده مقاله:

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes a variety of infections in compromised patients. The ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to produce chronic infection is based in part on its ability to biosynthesis of biofilm, and alginate is the major polysaccharide in the synthesized biofilm. So alginate degradation is very essential in the dispersion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm. Alginate lyase is an important enzyme in alginate degradation. This enzyme is different, especially with respect to molecular weight, pI and substrate specificity in various bacteria and even in various strains of a bacterium. The amount of alginate in mucoid strains is more than in nonmucoid strains. In this study, P. aeruginosa strain 214 was selected because it forms highly mucoidal colonies and thus it is a good candidate for alginate lyase preparation. Alginate lyase was extracted from the periplasmic space of P. aeruginosa by the use of heat shock method. Thiobarbitoric acid assay was used for measuring the activity of alginate lyase. This enzyme showed the most activity in Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) medium. The optimum concentration of sodium alginate was 0.02 mg/ml and the optimum activity of the enzyme was found in 20 min reaction time at 37°C. The enzyme was purified by a simple two-step procedure; ammonium sulfate precipitation and ion exchange column chromatography DEAE-Sepharose Cl-6B. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) suggested a molecular weight of approximately 40 kDa for alginate lyase.

One-step purification and characterization of alginate lyase from a clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa with destructive activity on bacterial biofilm

Objective(s): Pseudomonas aeruginosais a Gram-negative and aerobic rod bacterium that displays mucoid and non-mucoid phenotype. Mucoid strains secrete alginate, which is the main agent of biofilms in chronic P. aeruginosa infections, show high resistance to antibiotics; consequently, the biological disruption of mucoid P. aeruginosa biofilms is an attractive area of study for researchers. Algin...

Biochemical and computational study of an alginate lyase produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain S21

Objective(s): Alginates play a key role in mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization, biofilm formation, and driving out of cationic antibiotics. P. aeruginosa alginate lyase (AlgL) is a periplasmic enzyme that is necessary for alginate synthesis and secretion. It also has a role in depolymerization of alginates. Using AlgLs in cystic fibrosis patients along with anti...

Role of an alginate lyase for alginate transport in mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretes a capsule-like polysaccharide called alginate that is important for evasion of host defenses, especially during chronic pulmonary disease of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Most proteins for alginate biosynthesis are encoded by the 12-gene algD operon. Interestingly, this operon also encodes AlgL, a lyase that degrades alginate. Mut...

Alginate lyase promotes diffusion of aminoglycosides through the extracellular polysaccharide of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

We demonstrated that a 2% suspension of Pseudomonas aeruginosa alginate completely blocked the diffusion of gentamicin and tobramycin, but not that of carbenicillin, illustrating how alginate production can help protect P. aeruginosa growing within alginate microcolonies in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) from the effects of aminoglycosides. This aminoglycoside diffusion barrier was degraded...
