[Abstract] Succinate and lactate are commodity chemicals used for producing bioplastics. Recently, it was found that such organic acids are excreted from cells of the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 under dark, anaerobic conditions. To conduct the dark, anaerobic incubation, cells were concentrated within a vial that was then sealed with a butyl rubber cap, following which N2 gas was introduced into the vial. The organic acids produced were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography via post-labeling with bromothymol blue as a pH indicator. After separation by ion-exclusion chromatography, the organic acids were identified by comparing their retention time with that of standard solutions. These procedures allow researchers to quantify the organic ...
[摘要] 琥珀酸盐和乳酸盐是用于生产生物塑料的商品化学品。最近发现这样的有机酸从单细胞蓝细菌集胞藻的细胞中排出。 PCC 6803在黑暗，无氧条件下。为了进行黑暗的厌氧培养，将细胞浓缩在小瓶内，然后用丁基橡胶帽密封，随后将N 2气体引入小瓶中。通过用溴百里酚蓝作为pH指示剂的后标记，通过高效液相色谱定量产生的有机酸。通过离子排阻色谱分离后，通过将其保留时间与标准溶液的保留时间进行比较来鉴定有机酸。这些程序允许研究人员量化微生物产生的有机酸，有助于蓝藻生物学和生物技术的知识。
背景 蓝细菌是一组进行氧合光合作用的细菌。集胞藻 sp。 PCC 6803（以下称为集胞藻6803）是非固氮，单细胞蓝细菌，通常用于基础和应用研究。集胞藻6803细胞能够在黑暗和厌氧条件下分泌有机酸，如琥珀酸盐和乳酸盐（Osanai等，2015）。培养条件的遗传操作和修饰，例如添加钾或NaHCO 3，成功地提高了从集胞藻6803细胞排出的有机酸的水平（Osanai >等人，2015; Hasunuma等人，2016; Iijima等人，2016; Ueda等人。 ...

[Abstract] Plants sense potential pathogens by recognizing conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that cause PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI) including the generation of reactive oxygen species, callose deposition, and expression of several PTI-related genes. Acidovorax avenae is a Gam-negative bacterium that causes a seedling disease characterized by the deposition of brown stripes on the sheaths of infected plants. We previously reported that flagellin isolated from the rice avirulent A. avenae N1141 strain induces PTI, while flagellin isolated from the rice virulent A. avenae K1 strain does not induce PTI. To examine the molecular mechanism of specific PTI induction by N1141 flagellin, highly purified flagellin from N1141 or K1 strains is required. Here, ...
[摘要] 植物通过识别引起PAMP触发的免疫（PTI）的保守的病原体相关分子模式（PAMP）来感测潜在的病原体，包括活性氧的产生，胼lose质沉积和几个PTI相关基因的表达。 酸性弧菌是一种革兰氏阴性细菌，其导致幼苗疾病，其特征在于在感染的植物的鞘上沉积棕色条纹。 我们以前报告了从无毒力的大米中分离的鞭毛蛋白。 avenae N1141菌株诱导PTI，而从水稻毒力分离的鞭毛蛋白。 avenae K1株不诱导PTI。 为了检查N1141鞭毛蛋白的特异性PTI诱导的分子机制，需要来自N1141或K1菌株的高度纯化的鞭毛蛋白。 在这里，我们描述了一种高质量的纯化方法。 avenae鞭毛蛋白，并用于PTI诱导研究。

[Abstract] Leptolyngbya boryana (L. boryana) (formerly Plectonema boryanum) is a versatile, filamentous cyanobacterium that has the ability to fix nitrogen under microoxic conditions and to grow heterotrophically with glucose in the dark, providing an excellent system to investigate photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and their regulatory mechanisms. While L. boryana is not naturally transformable different from the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, it can be transformed by electroporation. Here we describe the transformation of L. boryana by electroporation to isolate mutants in which a targeted gene is disrupted.
[摘要] Leptolyngbya boryana （ L。boryana ）（以前称为Plectonema boryanum）是一种多用途的丝状蓝细菌，具有在微氧条件下固氮的能力， 在黑暗中与葡萄糖异养生长，提供了研究光合作用，固氮和它们的调节机制的优良系统。 而 L。 boryana 不是天然可转化的，不同于单细胞蓝细菌集胞藻。 PCC 6803，它可以通过电穿孔转化。 这里我们描述了 L的变换。 boryana通过电穿孔分离其中靶基因被破坏的突变体。
