细菌内毒素(ＬＰＳ)是革兰氏阳性阴性菌细胞外膜层的主要成分,由其引起的革兰氏阴性杆菌脓度症和休克是导致战创伤病人死亡的主要原因之一。而从类脂Ａ(ＬｉｐｉｄＡ)的结构出发,以非肽类物质拮抗内毒素受体ＣＤ-14为治疗手段的研究在国外刚刚起步。2-乙酰氨基-3,4,6-三乙酰葡萄糖是合成ＬｉｐｉｄＡ结构类似物的重要中间体[1,2]。它的合成一般是通过氨基葡萄糖五乙酸酯的选择性水解[3-6]脱去一个乙酰基得到。氨基葡萄糖五乙酸酯是通过氨基葡萄糖的乙酰化反应得到的,由于氨基葡萄糖不稳定,一般是用氨基葡萄糖的盐酸盐作为起始原料。由于…     

革兰氏阳性电活性菌的电子传递及其应用

电活性菌将电子从胞内转移至胞外电子受体或者将胞外电子转移至胞内的过程为胞外电子传递,其在微生物群落间的电子传递及元素的地球化学循环过程中发挥重要作用。电活性菌的胞外电子传递研究前期主要集中于革兰氏阴性菌,由于革兰氏阳性菌与革兰氏阴性菌的膜结构/厚度明显不同,因此二者的电子跨膜传递途径差异明显。革兰氏阳性菌因分布广泛且可在高温、低pH、高pH和高盐等环境中生存,其电活性和电子传递机制也逐渐引起关注。本文归纳总结了革兰氏阳性电活性菌的电子传递类型,基于厚壁菌门、放线菌门和绿弯菌门的分类阐述胞外电子传递的研究进展,分析了革兰氏阳性电活性菌在污染物降解、生物能源和工业制品合成等方面的应用,并展望了未来的发展方向。

不同类型的革兰氏阴性菌分泌系统蛋白分类研究

革兰氏阴性菌细胞中至少存在八种分泌系统,而每种分泌系统分别由一系列具有特定结构与功能的蛋白质组成。因此,对不同类型的细菌分泌系统蛋白进行深入研究,不仅有助于理解对应的蛋白质分泌机制,对于疾病的诊断与治疗及新药研发也具有重要意义。以氨基酸组成和位置特异性得分矩阵为替代模型,本文构建了一个基于支持向量机构的多元分类器以快速区分不同类型的革兰氏阴性菌分泌系统蛋白。实验结果表明,本方法对I、II及V型分泌系统蛋白具有较好的预测性能。

氟化修饰显著提高碳点的抗菌活性

本文采用支化聚乙烯亚胺和乙醇制备阳离子碳点,并在其表面接枝含氟烷基链,得到一种氟化修饰的碳点材料,其对革兰氏阳性菌金黄色葡萄球菌以及革兰氏阴性菌大肠杆菌和绿脓杆菌都表现出了优异的抗菌活性,而对哺乳动物细胞具有较低的毒性。通过构效关系研究发现,氟化修饰对于碳点的抗菌活性至关重要,将含氟烷基链替换成烷烃基链会极大削弱碳点的抗菌性能。本文的结果为阳离子抗菌材料的设计提供了新的思路。

Discrimination between endotoxin and (1----3)-beta-D-glucan using turbidimetric kinetic assay with Limulus amebocyte lysate

A procedure for the Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) test discriminating between endotoxin and (1----3)-beta-D-glucan based on the turbidimetric kinetic method was proposed. Endotoxin and (1----3)-beta-D-glucan, which are elicitors of the activation of LAL, showed different reaction courses with this lysate. To analyze the difference in the reactions, two parameters, the maximum differential coefficient of the reaction (Dmax) and the reaction time required to obtain Dmax (Tp) were defined. The logarithmic plottings of Tp versus Dmax (Tp-Dmax plot) discriminated between endotoxin and (1----3)-beta-D-glucan. Endotoxin was measured with a standard curve plotting logarithmic endotoxin concentration versus Dmax (ET-Dmax plot). The endotoxin calculated from Dmax was less influenced by (1----3)-beta-D-glucan than that calculated from the usual gelation time. A small amount of endotoxin in a sample could be concealed by the addition of polymyxin B, which inhibited the activation of LAL by endotoxin. (1----3)-beta-D-glucan was measured without being affected by the presence of a small amount of endotoxin using LAL with polymyxin B. The following procedure is proposed as a LAL test to discriminate between endotoxin and (1----3)-beta-D-glucan. (1) Identify the main substance (endotoxin or (1----3)-beta-D-glucan) triggering the activation of LAL using the Tp-Dmax plot. (2) Use the appropriate method to measure the main substance: the ET-Dmax plot for endotoxin or the LAL with polymyxin B for (1----3)-beta-D-glucan.

Rapid detection of bacterial endotoxins in ophthalmic viscosurgical device materials by direct analysis in real time mass spectrometry

Bacterial endotoxins are lipopolysaccharides bound to the bacterial cell wall and released when bacteria rupture or disintegrate. Possible contamination of endotoxin in ophthalmic devices can cause a painful eye inflammation or result in toxic anterior segment syndrome after cataract surgery. Measurement of bacterial endotoxin in medical device materials is difficult since endotoxin binds with polymer matrix and some of the materials are very viscous and non-water soluble, where traditional enzyme-based Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay cannot be applied. Here we propose a rapid and high throughput ambient ionization mass spectrometric (MS) method using direct analysis in real time (DART) for the evaluation of endotoxin contamination in medical device materials. Large and structurally complex endotoxin instantaneously breaks down into low-mass characteristic fragment ions using DART and is detected by MS in both positive and negative ion modes. This method enables the identification and separation of endotoxin from medical materials with a detection limit of 0.03 ng mL⁻¹ endotoxins in aqueous solution. Ophthalmic viscosurgical device materials including sodium hyaluronate (NaHA), non-water soluble perfluoro-n-octane (PFO) and silicone oil (SO) were spiked with different known concentrations of endotoxin and analyzed by DART MS, where the presence of endotoxin was successfully detected and featured small mass fragment ions were generated for NaHA, PFO and SO as well. Current findings showed the feasibility of measuring endotoxin contamination in medical device materials using DART-MS, which can lead to a one-step analysis of endotoxins in different matrices, avoiding any potential contamination during sample pre-treatment steps.     

Removal of endotoxin from culture supernatant of Bordetella pertussis with aminated poly(gamma-methyl L-glutamate) spherical beads.

Attempts were made to prepare adsorbents having a high affinity for endotoxin in the culture supernatant of Bordetella pertussis. When poly(gamma-methyl L-glutamate) (PMLG) was used as a matrix and amino groups as the ligand, the highest affinity for endotoxin was attained even at a high ionic strength (mu = 0.2-0.4). PMLG beads containing amino groups of about 3.2 meq/g selectively removed endotoxin from the culture supernatant of B. pertussis without affecting the protective antigens. It was demonstrated that 1 ml of the wet adsorbent adsorbed 4.5 mg of endotoxin. The beads of PMLG derivatives, therefore, are considered to be a useful adsorbent for the removal of endotoxin from the pertussis vaccine, affecting neither filamentous hemagglutinin nor pertussis toxin.     

Specific assay for endotoxin using immobilized histidine, Limulus amoebocyte lysate and a chromogenic substrate.

The Limulus amoebocyte lysate (LAL) test is inhibited or enhanced by many substances. In order to overcome this problem, a specific endotoxin assay method using a membrane filter unit, a chromogenic LAL reagent, and immobilized histidine (which is a specific adsorbent for endotoxins) was developed. Endotoxins are quantitatively adsorbed on immobilized histidine. The adsorbed endotoxins are separated from LAL-inhibiting or -enhancing substances by the membrane filter unit, and their activities are directly assayed with the LAL reagent in a filter cup without any inhibition or enhancement. The reproducibility and the accuracy of this method are high. This new endotoxin assay method using immobilized histidine can be used for the determination of endotoxins in a solution containing LAL-inhibiting or -enhancing substances such as amino acids and antibiotics, as an alternative to the more common gel-clot technique.
