    Notes: Abstract When cells of Synechocystis, adapted to 684 mmol/l NaCl, were exposed to hypoosmotic shock by reducing NaCl concentration to more than 250 mmol/l, significant amounts of organic material were liberated which could be increased by increasing shock strength. After maximal hypoosmotic shock (684 mmol/l→ 2 mmol/l NaCl) 40–50% of photosynthetically labelled organic material occurred in the surrounding medium. The main compound exudates was the osmoprotective compound glucosylglycerol. Minor exudates were amino acids, organic acids and carbohydrates. In contrast a hyperosmotic shock (2 mmol/l→684 mmol/l NaCl) liberated only one fourth of the amount liberated by a hypoosmotic shock.

    Notes: Abstract Protein synthesis of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis spec. PCC 6803 decreases after a 684 mM NaCl salt shock. Qualitative changes were observed during the shock and the subsequent adaptation process using one-dimensional polyacrylamide electrophoresis. Proteins of apparent molecular masses of 13.0, 14.2, 16.6, 20.0, 21.0, 23.0, 33.0, 47.0, 52.0, 65.0 and 72.0 kDa are synthesized at enhanced rates after salt stress. The proteins of 14.2, 21.1 and 52.0 kDa are transiently induced during the first hours of the adaptation phase, while the other proteins are also synthesized at enhanced rates in salt-adapted cells. The proteins of 14.2, 23.0, 33.0 and 65.0 kDa are also induced by heat shock (43°C). Heat shock proteins of about 88.0, 75.0, 58.0, 17.5 and 13.8 kDa, in contrast, are induced by heat shock but not by salt. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide electrophoresis showed that the induced salt and heat shock proteins in some cases consisted of isoforms of different isoelectric points.

    Notes: Abstract Three mutants of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 unable to tolerate high salt concentrations were generated using random cartridge mutagenesis. Analysis of the phenotypes revealed that the salt sensitivity of one mutant (6803/143) is caused by a block in the synthesis of the osmoprotective substance glucosylglycerol, while in the two other mutants no physiological defect could be detected which was responsible for the loss of salt tolerance. Southern hybridization analyses and cloning of the integration sites of the resistance marker demonstrated that different genes are affected in each of the three mutants.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract The unicellular cyanobacterium Microcystis furma tolerates salinity by accumulating the osmoprotective compound glucosylglycerol. After salt shock, the initial rate of glucosylglycerol synthesis is independent of the NaCl concentration used. In pulse chase experiments with NaH14CO3, synthesis of glucosylglycerol by salt-adapted cells was found to be rapid, whereas no sign of its breakdown was detected. Therefore, it is concluded that no turnover of glucosylglycerol takes place in salt-adapted cells. The specific capacity of the glucosylglycerol-forming enzyme system may be one reason for the salt resistance limit.

    Notes: Abstract To identify genes transcribed preferentially under salt stress, a subtractive RNA hybridization procedure was applied to the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The screening of a genomic library led to the identification of several RNA species that were more abundant in salt-stressed cells than in control cells. Salt-dependent transcription of the identified genes was verified in Northern blot experiments. In addition to the previously characterized genes cpn60 (encoding GroEL; a molecular chaperone) and isiA (encoding a chlorophyll-binding protein), genes encoding a protein of unknown function (slr0082) and a putative RNA helicase (slr0083) were identified as salt-regulated genes in Synechocystis. Genes slr0082 and slr0083, located at sites adjacent to each other on the Synechocystis chromosome, were transcribed from separate promoters and showed the most significant induction 1–3 h after salt shock. The salt-regulated promoters of these two genes were mapped. Genes cpn60, slr0082, and slr0083 were also found to be induced by a cold shock. The possible role of the identified gene products for salt adaptation of Synechocystis is discussed.
