This investigation evaluated the serological homology of proteases from a number of psychotrophic bacteria consisting largely of Pseudomonas_fluorescens strains. Proteases from 4 reference strains of P.fluorescens were purified and rabbit antiserum generated against each. Preliminary investigations revealed the serological heterology of protease OM82 to proteases N73A, M143A and OMl 86. A total of 54, presumably P.fluorescens strains, were grown and semi-pure protease preparations obtained from each. The immunological cross reactivity of 54 semi-pure protease preparations with each

Cyanide-degrading activity was localized to cytosolic cell fractions and was observed at substrate concentrations as high as 100 mM. Two cyanide degrading activities were identified by: (i) the determination of reaction products stoichiometries, (ii) requirements for NADH and oxygen, and (iii) kinetic analysis. The first activity produced CO2 and NH3 as reaction products, was dependent on oxygen and NADH for activity, and displaye

We found that the increase in fitness was a direct result of increased gene expression; however, the precise mechanism was unclear. Synonymous mutations have been shown to

Pseudomonas fluorescens NCIMB 11764 was capable of utilizing cyanide as a sole nitrogen source for growth.

Growth of this strain on cyanate as the sole nitrogen source led to the induction of an enzyme characterized as a cyanase (EC 3.5.5.3) based on its stoichiometric conversion of cyanate to ammonia, and dependence on bicarbonate for maximal activity. However, since cyanase activity was not elevated in cyanide-grown cells it was concluded that

The involvement of cyanide oxygenase in the metabolism of pyruvate and a-ketoglutarate-cyanohydrin was investigated and shown to occur indirectly by the consumption of free cyanide arising from the cyanohydrins via chemical dissociation. Thus, free cyanide remains the substrate, for which the enzyme displays a remarkably high affinity (Kmapp,4 mM). A model for cyanide utilization is therefore envisioned in which the substrate is initially detoxified by complexation to an appropriate ligand followed by enzymatic oxidation of cyanide arising at sublethal levels via chemical dissociation.

Psychrotrophic bacteria, such as Pseudomonas fluorescens B52, are a major cause of milk spoilage at refrigeration temperature due to the production of lipolytic and proteolytic enzymes. Regulatory mechanisms controlling the production of lipase and protease by the B52 lipA and aprX genes were investigated. Transposon mutagenesis identified the possible involvement of a poly-A polymerase enzyme which destabilises mRNA by 3' polyadenylation. A homologue of the E. coli EnvZ/OmpR two-component sensor/regulator system was identified by transposon mutagenesis and shown to repress lipase and protease

Abstract:
Spoilage induced by Pseudomonas strains is commonly found in a wide range of food products as a result of the ubiquitous presence of these strains and their ability to induce alteration through different mechanisms. Particular attention has been recently paid on those P. fluorescens strains able to induce a blue discolouration on several food matrices (e.g. dairy or meat products). Actually, poor data are available about this curious event that draw the attention of European consumer from 2010.

Abstract:
The role of ecological opportunity in adaptive radiation has been demonstrated by the diversification of the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 in a spatially structured microcosm. This provides an ideal system for studying the genetics of adaptation and asking questions about the genes that matter in evolution. Previous studies have identified the genes that are necessary for the evolved, biofilm-forming, niche-specialist genotype, the wrinkly spreader (WS). These genes are organised in two operons: the wss operon that encodes the genes for cellulose biosynthesis, and the wsp operon that

Abstract:
Certaines bactéries contribuent à réduire les maladies racinaires de plantes causées par des champignons pathogènes. La compétence rhizosphérique de ces bactéries antagonistes est un pré-requis à leur efficacité. Cependant, l’influence du champignon pathogène sur le déterminisme génétique de cette compétence n’est pas connue. L’influence d’une part du champignon seul, ou effet hyphosphère et d’autre part de la plante et du champignon, ou effet pathorhizosphère sur la régulation des déterminants génétiques bactérien a été évaluée dans ce travail. Pour cela, des confrontations entre la rhizobact
