Recent progress in the chemistry and chemical biology of microbial signaling molecules: quorum-sensing pheromones and microbial hormones

Communication among microorganisms is mediated by secretion and detection of microbial signaling molecules such as quorum-sensing pheromones and microbial hormones. The molecules elicit the regulation of important genes necessary for microbial survival and often play important roles in interspecies or even inter-kingdom communication. Recent progress in the study of the signaling molecules has enabled us to eavesdrop on microbial conversations to gain insight on their intercellular communication system. This review summarizes the recent advances in the chemistry and chemical biology of these important microbial signaling molecules: acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs), AI-2, CAI-1 related α-hydroxy ketones (AHKs), ComX pheromones, diffusible signal factors (DSFs), diffusible extracellular factor (DF), and Phytophthora mating hormones.     

Analysing traces of autoinducer-2 requires standardization of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Vibrio harveyi</Emphasis> bioassay

Autoinducer-2 (furanosyl borate diester) is a biologically active compound whose role as a universal bacterial signalling molecule is currently under intense investigation. Because of its instability and the low concentrations of it found in biological samples, its detection relies at present on a bioassay that measures the difference in the timing of the luminescence of the Vibrio harveyi BB170 sensor strain with and without externally added AI-2. Here we systematically investigated which parameters affected the fold induction values of luminescence obtained in the bioassay and developed a modified protocol. Our experiments showed that growth and luminescence of V. harveyi BB170 are strongly influenced by trace elements. In particular, addition of Fe³⁺ within a certain concentration range to the growth medium of the preinoculum culture improved the reproducibility and reduced the variance of the bioassay. In contrast, trace elements and vitamins introduced directly into the bioassay caused inhibitory effects. The initial density and luminescence of the sensor strain are very important and the values required for these parameters were defined. Borate interferes with the detection of AI-2 by giving false positive results. The response of V. harveyi BB170 to chemically synthesized AI-2 in the bioassay is nonlinear except over a very small concentration range; it is maximum over three orders of magnitude and shows inhibition above 35 μM. Based on the modified protocol, we were able to detect AI-2 in the absence of inhibitors with maximum fold induction values for the positive control (chemically synthesized AI-2) of >120 with a standard deviation of ~30% in a reliable and reproducible way.     

微生物能力验证样品制备工艺及水产品企业水平测试结果评价

为了提高舟山市水产品企业实验室微生物检测能力,保证企业自检结果准确可靠,根据舟山市进出口检验检疫工作的特点,选取了水产品中3个常规的微生物检测项目,即菌落总数、副溶血弧菌和金黄色葡萄球菌检测,采用了真空冷冻干燥技术制备一系列微生物能力验证样品,对舟山市88家水产品企业的实验室进行微生物能力验证。结果表明采用本工艺制备的能力验证样品具有稳定性好、贮存方便、保存期长等优点。从水产品企业微生物水平测试结果来看,菌落总数项目的满意率为81.8%;副溶血弧菌检测的正确率为93.8%,而金黄色葡萄球菌检测的正确率为82.1%。检测结果存在偏差的主要原因是检测中未使用标准菌株进行参照、试剂在使用前无进行质量核查、对某些生化反应判断失误等。

The structures of three new shishididemniols from a tunicate of the family Didemnidae

Three new serinolipid derivatives, shishididemniols C (1), D (2), and E (3), were isolated as antibacterial constituents of a tunicate of the family Didemnidae. Their planar structures were elucidated by interpretation of NMR and MS data, whereas the absolute stereochemistry was determined by chemical conversions. Shishididemniols C (3), D (4), and E (5) exhibited antibacterial activity against the fish pathogenic bacterium Vibrio anguillarum.     

Isolation and characterization of a new species of Vibrio-Vibrio olivaceus sp.nov. from diseased flounder （Paralichthys olivaceus temminck et schlegel）

One kind of pathogenic bacteria was isolated from diseased (or dead) flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus L.) which expressed bacterial septicaemia. The phenotyic information of the 10 pure cultures was studied extensively, including morphological characteristics, colony characteristics in different media, physiological and biochemical characteristics, and the mol%G C ratio of the DNA for representative strain. The results showed that the isolates belonged to a new species of Vibrio. In addition, the representative strains have been re-checked by China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC), the results were the same as ours, the examined strains were also regarded as a new species of Vibrio, and designated as Vibrio olivaceus sp.nov. by its isolated fish (Paralichthys olivaceus) based on its biological properties following Rules of International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria. In the same time, we conducted studies on the serum homology of isolates, pathogenicity of isolates by experimental infection. The results showed that all the isolates were of serologic similarity and the isolates have strong pathogenicity to flounder. Inspection to pure cultures and isolates from liver of moribund fish from infection experiment by fluorescent antibody technique showed the feasibility of fluorescent antibody technique as an auxiliary method of examination.     

QSAR-based toxicity classification and prediction for single and mixed aromatic compounds

Quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) based on the octanol/water partition coefficient were employed to predict acute toxicities of 36 substituted aromatic compounds and their mixtures. In this study, the model developed by Verhaar et al. was modified and used to calculate octanol/water partition coefficients of chemical mixtures. To validate the model, acute toxicities of these chemicals were measured to Vibrio fischeri in terms of EC⁵⁰. The results indicated that the obtained QSAR models could be used to predict toxicities of samples consisting of these substituted aromatic compounds, individually or in combinations. The obtained equations were proved to be robust enough by using the leave-one-out test method. By classifying these chemicals into two groups, polar and non-polar, the toxicities of chemical mixtures within each group can be predicted accurately from their calculated partition coefficients.
