[Abstract]  

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, an obligate predatory bacterium [i.e., bacteria that kill and feed on other bacteria (prey)], has the potential to be used as a probiotic for the disinfection of surfaces or for the treatment of bacterial infections. One option is to use this organism in combination with antimicrobials to potentiate the effectiveness of treatments. In order to make this approach feasible more has to be known about the ability of B. bacteriovorus to resist antibiotics itself. Standard assays to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) are not suitable for B. bacteriovorus, since the small size of this bacterium (0.25-0.35 by 0.5-2 μm) prevents scattering at OD600. Since these predatory bacteria require larger prey bacteria for growth (e.g., E. coli dimensions are

[摘要]  [摘要]蛭弧菌弧菌,一种专性捕食细菌[即,细菌杀灭和进料的其它细菌(猎物)] ,有可能使被用作表面的消毒益生菌或细菌感染的治疗。一种选择是将这种生物体与抗菌素联合使用以增强治疗效果。为了使该方法可行,必须进一步了解细菌噬菌芽孢杆菌自身抵抗抗生素的能力。标准测定法来确定最小抑制浓度(MIC)是不适合B.弧菌,由于 的小尺寸该细菌(0.25-0.35由0.5-2的微米)防止在OD散射600 。由于这些细菌掠夺需要用于生长较大的捕食的细菌(例如,大肠杆菌(E.coli)尺寸为1由1-2微米),第这里描述的用于抗微生物敏感性测定方法E基础是OD的降低600期间引起的猎物裂解增长。以前关于掠食性细菌对抗菌素耐药性的研究采用的方法无法直接将抗菌素耐药性水平与其他细菌种类进行比较。在这里,我们描述了一种确定细菌对芽孢杆菌的抗药性的方法,该方法可与被测试的参照生物体尽可能接近相同的实验条件进行比较。简要地说,最低抑菌浓度(MIC)值的B.弧菌通过在存在和不存在不同浓度的抗微生物剂的混合捕食者/猎物培养物的600nm处测量的吸光度的减少来确定。值得注意的是,可以使用不同的条件,猎物细菌和/或抗菌剂来修改此方法以获得其他掠食性细菌的抗菌素MIC值。

[Abstract]  Cyclic di-guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger that regulates distinct aspects of bacterial physiology. It is synthesized by diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) and hydrolyzed by phosphodiesterases (PDEs). To date, the activities of DGC and PDE are commonly assessed by phenotypic assays, mass spectrometry analysis of intracellular c-di-GMP concentration, or riboswitch-based fluorescent biosensors. However, some of these methods require cutting-edge equipment, which might not be available in every laboratory. Here, we report a new simple, convenient and cost-effective system to assess the function of DGCs and PDEs in E. coli. This system utilizes the high specificity of a riboswitch to c-di-GMP and its ability to regulate the expression of a downstream ... [摘要]  环状二磷酸鸟苷(c-di-GMP)是一种无处不在的第二信使,它调节细菌生理学的不同方面。 它由diguanylate环化酶(DGC)合成并被磷酸二酯酶(PDE)水解。 迄今为止,通常通过表型分析,细胞内c-di-GMP浓度的质谱分析或基于核糖开关的荧光生物传感器来评估DGC和PDE的活性。 但是,其中一些方法需要尖端设备,而这些设备可能不适用于每个实验室。 在这里,我们报告了一个新的简单,方便和具有成本效益的系统,用于评估E中DGC和PDE的功能。大肠杆菌。 该系统利用核糖开关对c-di-GMP的高特异性及其响应于c-di-GMP浓度而调节下游β-半乳糖苷酶报道基因的表达的能力。 在该协议中,我们描述了该系统的构建及其用于评估DGC和PDE酶的活性。

Isolation of Fucus serratus Gametes and Cultivation of the Zygotes

[Abstract]  Zygotes of the Fucale species are a powerful model system to study cell polarization and asymmetrical cell division (Bisgrove and Kropf, 2008). The Fucale species of brown algae grow in the intertidal zone where they reproduce by releasing large female eggs and mobile sperm in the surrounding seawater. The gamete release can be induced from sexually mature fronds in the laboratory and thousands of synchronously developing zygotes are easily obtained. In contrast to other eukaryotic models, such as land plants (Brownlee and Berger, 1995), the embryo is free of maternal tissues and therefore readily amenable to pharmacological approaches. The zygotes are relatively large (up to 100 µm in diameter), facilitating manipulations and imaging studies. During the first hours of zygote development, ... [摘要]  Fucale物种的合作伙伴是研究细胞极化和不对称细胞分裂的强大模型系统(Bisgrove和Kropf,2008)。棕色藻类的Fucale种类在潮间带中生长,通过在周围海水中释放大的雌性卵和移动精子繁殖。配子释放可以从实验室的性成熟叶子诱导,并且容易获得成千上万的同步发育的合子。与其他真核生物模型(如陆地植物(Brownlee和Berger,1995))相反,胚胎没有母体组织,因此很容易接受药理学方法。受精卵相对较大(直径可达100μm),便于操作和成像研究。在合子开发的第一个小时,轴与光线等外部线索的对准不稳定,可以通过不同方向的光梯度反转。在芽根出现前几小时,轴和极性的对齐是固定的,并且细胞相应地发芽。在这个阶段,合子通过细胞壁粘合剂材料的分泌(Kropf等人,1988;Hervé等人,2016)自然地附着在基质上。第一个细胞分裂发生在受精后约24小时,早期胚胎仅由两种细胞类型组成,其尺寸,形状和发育命运(,thallus细胞和根际细胞)不同(Bouget 等人,1998)。胚胎可以在实验室中成功培养数日(最多4周),并且在早期阶段具有不变的分裂模式,可以使组织学上追踪细胞谱系。
【背景】该协议提供了隔离Fucus spp的雄性和雌性配子的说明。 用于体外受精,并讨论如何监测所产生的受精卵和早期胚胎的发育。 这些说明是为了使用雌雄异株(Fucus ...
