    Notes: The influence of the pH of the heating medium (which included several foods and buffers) on the thermal resistance (D and z-values) of spores of three Bacillus cereus strains was studied. Acidification from pH 7.0 to 4.0 produced a 5-fold decrease in D-values. Plots of log D vs pH gave straight lines, which made it possible to develop an equation to approximately predict the changes in heat sensitivity of B. cereus spores which occurred with changing pH. z-Values for two of the strains studied were not affected by acidification. On the other hand, with the strain ATCC 9818, a clear and statistically significant increase in z-value was observed as the pH decreased.

    Notes: The effects of the addition of starch, glucose, sodium chloride, sodium citrate, monopotassium phosphate and disodium phosphate to the recovery medium on apparent heat resistance of Bacillus cereus spores (ATCC 4342, 7004 and 9818) were investigated. Sodium citrate, monopotassium and disodium phosphate at concentrations of 0.1% were effective inhibitory agents for heat injured B. cereus spores especially for strain 9818, although only monopotassium and disodium phosphate caused a significant reduction (p 〈 0.05) in D-values obtained for strain 9818. Sodium chloride also had a marked effect on the recovery of heat injured spores. Concentration as low as 0.5% caused a significant reduction in the recovery rates for strains 9818 and 7004. In all cases, increasing the salt levels from 0.5 to 4% resulted in a progressive decrease in spore recovery. D-values gradually decreased as the salt content increased, although the concentrations which produced statistically significant differences (p 〈 0.05) varied among strains. The addition of starch at 0.1% resulted in a significant increase in the counts for strains 9818 and 7004. In contrast, glucose (0.1%), did not significantly modify the counts obtained Neither of these compounds affected decimal reduction times. No statistical significance (p〉0.05) differences were detected among z-values for the spores of the three strains recovered in the presence of different additives assayed. z-Values ranged from 6.67 to 8.32, with a mean value of 7.56 ± 0.46C.

    Notes: Abstract We have investigated the biological activity in the filtered culture supernatants from 9 VT-producing Escherichia coli strains. The filtrates from 4 strains (3 of human and one of bovine origin), were cytotoxic on Vero and HeLa cells, and caused death in intraperitoneally injected adult mice. The 5 strains of porcine origin showed cytotoxic activity on Vero and Y-1 cells but not on HeLa cells. Filtrates of these latter strains were not lethal for adult mice. VT-cytotoxins produced by all strains were inactive in the infant mouse test and the filtrates from 7 of 8 VT-producing strains assayed in rabbit ileal loops caused fluid accumulation in at least one of the 3 rabbits employed.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract A recombinant wine yeast strain has been constructed expressing the gene coding for a-L-arabinofuranosidase B from Aspergillus niger under the control of the yeast actin gene promoter. The protein is efficiently secreted by the recombinant yeast, allowing its purification and characterisation. The heterologous α-l-arabinofuranosidase B shows similar physico-chemical properties to the native enzyme. The wine produced in microvinification experiments using the recombinant yeast presents the same oenological characteristics as obtained with the untransformed strain. The a-L-arabinofuranosidase B protein is detected throughout the fermentation.

    Construction of CTB fusion proteins for screening of monoclonal antibodies against Salmonella typhi OmpC peptide loops (1996)

    Notes: Abstract Mice were immunized with resin-bound peptides whose sequences have been proposed to be part of exposed loops in Salmonella typhi outer membrane protein OmpC. To screen hybridomas for monoclonal antibodies against those epitopes, we designed fusion proteins where the candidate peptide sequence was attached to the amino end of cholera toxin B-subunit (CTB). The constructed fusion proteins allowed the efficient selection of positive clones by GM1-ELISA. Selected antibodies recognized purified OmpC and whole Salmonella bacteria. This suggests a native structure of our genetically attached peptides in agreement with immunological properties reported for previous CTB recombinant fusion proteins. In a more general context, CTB hybrids could be used to screen for antibodies towards immunogenic epitopes in other systems. This might turn out to be particularly useful when producing antibodies against peptide sequences in microorganisms whose handling is difficult or that pose inherent health risks.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Two plasmid cloning vectors (pULMJ55 and pULMJ95) were constructed for Brevibacterium lactofermentum using the origin of replication of the endogenous plasmid pBL1. Plasmid pULMJ55 is a replacement vector with transcriptional terminators from the B. lactofermentum trp operon flanking the BglII cloning sites. Religation of the BglII digested vector without insert creates a 376 bp perfect palindrome that is not tolerated in B. lactofermentum, giving positive selection for recombinant plasmids with inserts. Plasmid pULMJ95 contains the promoter-less α-amylase gene from Streptomyces griseus downstream of the trp terminator and is particularly suitable for the detection of promoters which are activated late during the growth phase. α-Amylase is secreted and its activity can be detected using simple plate tests.

    The regulation of thiomethylgalactoside transport in Clostridium acetobutylicum P262 by inducer exclusion and inducer expulsion mechanisms (1996)

    Notes: Abstract Clostridium acetobutylicum P262 had phosphotransferase systems for glucose and lactose, and the lactose system was inducible. When C. acetobutylicum P262 was provided with glucose and lactose, the cultures grew in a diauxic fashion, and glucose was used preferentially. Cells grown on lactose took up thiomethylgalactoside, and retained this non-metabolizable lactose analog for long periods of time. Because glucose inhibited thiomethylgalactoside uptake and caused the efflux of thiomethylgalactoside that had already been taken up, it appeared that C. acetobutylicum P262 had inducer exclusion and inducer expulsion mechanisms similar to those found in lactic acid bacteria.

    Notes: Abstract A gene fusion between the Saccharomyces cerevisiae actin gene promoter and the cDNA of the Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi pelA gene has been constructed. This expression cassette has been introduced into the industrial wine yeast strain T73. The resulting recombinant strain is able to secrete active PELA enzyme into the culture medium. In preliminary microvinification experiments the wine produced by this pectinolytic strain is indistinguishable from wine produced using the non-transformed strain on the basis of the chemical analyses. Large scale fermentations need to be carried out in order to assess the effects on filtrability.

    Notes: Abstract DNA was isolated from mycobacteria by a simplified procedure. Cells were suspended in 6 M guanidinium chloride, the suspension was cooled to −70 °C, then incubated at 65 °C for 10 min, cooled in ice, deproteinized by chloroform and DNA was recovered from the supernatant. The procedure was used to obtain DNA from several mycobacteria (1 × 109) or more cells) including Mycobacterium neoaurum M. fortuitum M. phlei and M. smegmatis. Each of the species was shown to have two ribosomal RNA operons per genome, and preliminary evidence was obtained which suggests that one of these operons is homologous with one of the operons of M. smegmatis.

    Degradation of trichlorophenols by Alcaligenes eutrophus JMP134 (1995)

    Notes: Abstract The degradation of chlorophenols by Alcaligenes eutrophus JMP134 (pJP4) was studied. The strain grew on 2,4,6-trichlorophenol or 2,4,6-tribromophenol as the sole carbon and energy source. Complete degradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol was confirmed by chloride release and gas chromatography analysis of supernatants from growth cultures. The 2,3,5-, 2,3,4-, 2,3,6-and 2,4,5-isomers of trichlorophenol did not support growth. However, up to 40% of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol was mineralized during growth of A. eutrophus on chemostats fed with either phenol (0.4 mM) or 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (0.4 mM) plus 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (0.1 mM). Growth on 2,4,6-trihalophenols was also observed in A. Eutrophus JMP222, the strain lacking pJP4, suggesting that this new degradative ability reported for A. eutrophus is not related to pJP4 encoded catabolic functions.
