[Abstract]  Bacteria release cysteine to moderate the size of their intracellular pools. They can also evolve hydrogen sulfide, either through dissimilatory reduction of oxidized forms of sulfur or through the deliberate or inadvertent degradation of intracellular cysteine. These processes can have important consequences upon microbial communities, because excreted cysteine autoxidizes to generate hydrogen peroxide, and hydrogen sulfide is a potentially toxic species that can block aerobic respiration by inhibiting cytochrome oxidases. Lead acetate strips can be used to obtain semiquantitative data of sulfide evolution (Oguri et al., 2012). Here we describe methods that allow more-quantitative and discriminatory measures of cysteine and hydrogen sulfide release from bacterial cells. An ... [摘要]  细菌释放半胱氨酸以调节细胞内池的大小。它们也可以通过硫的氧化形式的异化还原或通过细胞内半胱氨酸的故意或无意降解来释放硫化氢。这些过程会对微生物群落产生重要影响,因为排泄的半胱氨酸会自动氧化生成过氧化氢,而硫化氢是一种潜在的毒性物种,可通过抑制细胞色素氧化酶来阻断有氧呼吸。醋酸铅条可用于获得硫化物演化的半定量数据(Oguri et al。,2012)。在这里,我们描述的方法,允许更多的定量和歧视措施半胱氨酸和硫化氢释放细菌细胞。提供了一个说明性实例,其中当暴露于外源性胱氨酸时,大肠杆菌迅速产生半胱氨酸和硫化物(Chonoles Imlay等人,2015; Korshunov等人, ,2016)。

【背景】微生物通过几种途径产生了减少的硫物质。硫酸盐还原菌利用还原过程作为能量生成的组成部分。其他细菌释放硫化物,作为硫物质(包括半胱氨酸)的蓄意或偶然降解的副产物。我们观察到半胱氨酸本身是在细胞内水平异常高时排泄的,这种情况可能通过不受控制的氨基酸输入或半胱氨酸合成失调发生。这些硫物质具有非同寻常的反应性,因为它们以高亲和力与金属结合,也是与分子氧发生化学反应的少数生物分子之一。结果是减少的硫化合物可以对细胞产生重要影响。因此,跟踪各种情况下含硫化合物的动态变化是非常重要的。
