Exopolysaccharides favor the survival of Erwinia amylovora under copper stress through different strategies.

2010

Erwinia amylovora causes fire blight, a destructive disease of rosaceous plants very difficult to control. We demonstrated that copper, employed to control plant diseases, induces the "viable-but-nonculturable" (VBNC) state in E. amylovora. Moreover, it was previously reported that copper increases production of its main exopolysaccharide (EPS), amylovoran. In this work, the copper-complexing ability of amylovoran and levan, other major EPS of E. amylovora, was demonstrated. Following this, EPS-deficient mutants were used to determine the role of these EPSs in survival of this bacterium in AB mineral medium with copper, compared to their wild type strain and AB without copper.

Oxidative halogenation of substituted pyrroles with Cu(II). PartIV.Bromination of 2-(2′-hydroxybenzoyl)pyrrole. A new synthesis of bioactive analogs …

1994

The selective bromination with copper(II) bromide of the pyrrole ring in 2-(2'-hydroxybenzoyl)pyrrole (II) in the heterogeneous phase is des- cribed giving in almost quantitative yield the 4,5-dibromo derivative (VI). The subsequent introduction of halogen into the phenol moiety was observed when the reaction was perfomed in the homogeneous phase with an excess of halogenating agent. The pentabromo derivative (IX), a com- pound very active against Staphylococcus aureus (mic=17 nmoles per dm -3 ), was obtained by exhaustive bromination of the title compound. Poor yields of chloro derivatives of (II) were obtained by reaction of the parent compound with copper(II) chloride

From Food Map to FODMAP in Irritable Bowel Sindrome.

2016

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases in the general population, with a prevalence ranging from 12 % to 30 %, mainly affecting younger patients (i.e., <50 years of age) and women [1]. As in other chronic functional gastrointestinal disorders, abdominal discomfort or pain, abnormal bowel habits, and often bloating and abdominal distension are the main clinical features. Their diagnosis is based on symptom patterns (i.e., the Rome III criteria), which also allow categorization in diarrhea-predominant (D-IBS), constipation-predominant (C-IBS), mixed diarrhea and constipation (M-IBS), and unclassified (U-IBS) IBS [2]. Symptom severity ranges from tol…

Icosahedral dsDNA Bacterial Viruses with an Internal Membrane

2008

The icosahedral double-stranded DNA bacteriophages containing an internal membrane belong to two families, the Tectiviridae and the Corticoviridae. Members of the Tectiviridae have a linear dsDNA genome (e.g., PRD1) and those of the Corticoviridae have a circular genome (the only example being PM2). The DNA is covered by a membrane which is in turn covered by a protein capsid. The infection cycle begins when spikes on the capsid recognize the host cell receptor and the virus starts the delivery of the genome into the cell cytoplasm. The replication of the virus genome occurs in the cytoplasm. The members of the Tectiviridae may be virulent or temperate; PM2 is virulent. Virulent bacteriopha…

Determination of aminoglycoside and macrolide antibiotics in meat by pressurized liquid extraction and LC-ESI-MS

2010

A simple method for the simultaneous determination of dihydrostreptomycin, spectinomycin, spiramycin, streptomycin, tilmicosin, and tylosin in meat has been developed using pressurized liquid extraction and LC-triple quadrupole MS (LC-ESI-MS/MS). The pressurized liquid extraction operational parameters were optimized and no protein precipitating and fat removing steps were required. A gradient HPLC separation was developed with ion-pair mobile phases consisting of aqueous 1 mM heptafluorobutyric acid water and methanol. Protonated molecules were used as precursor ions for CID. Data acquisition under MS/MS was achieved by applying multiple reaction monitoring of three fragment ion transition…

Durch Kondensation von 2-Aminobenzimidazol (1) mit 2,4-Hexandion (2a) entsteht das Isomerenpaar 3a/3b, mit 6-Methyl-2,4-heptandion (2b) das Isomerengemisch 3c/3d, wahrend mit 1-Phenyl-2,4-pentandion (2c) die Isomere 3e und 3f gebildet werden. Die Trennung der Isomere ist durch Saulenchromatographie, die Strukturfestlegung auf spektroskopischem Wege, moglich. 2-Imino-2H-s-triazino[2,1-b]benzoxazol weist antibakterielle Wirksamkeit auf. Antibacterial Drugs, VI: 2,4-Unsymmetrically Dialkylated Pyrimido[1,2-α]benzimidazoles Condensation of 2-aminobenzimidazole (1) with 2,4-hexanedione (2a) leads to the pair of isomers 3a/3b. Condensation with 6-methyl-2,4-heptanedione (2b) yields the isomers 3c…

Morphological Characterisation of Bacterial Cellulose-Starch Nanocomposites

2008

Acetobacter sp. growing medium was modified in order to produce bacterial cellulose (BC) nanocomposites using a bottom-up technique that allowed starch to be introduced into the cellulose network. The BC-starch mats were hot-pressed to obtain nanocomposites sheets. Morphological characterisation was carried out using Atomic Force Microscopy and Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy. The images obtained from microscopy were then processed using image analysis. Network properties, such as mesh size and fibre orientation were characterised. Fracture surfaces of these new nanocomposites were analysed.

Phenazine antibiotics produced by fluorescent pseudomonads contribute to natural soil suppressiveness to Fusarium wilt

2009

Natural disease-suppressive soils provide an untapped resource for the discovery of novel beneficial microorganisms and traits. For most suppressive soils, however, the consortia of microorganisms and mechanisms involved in pathogen control are unknown. To date, soil suppressiveness to Fusarium wilt disease has been ascribed to carbon and iron competition between pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum and resident non-pathogenic F. oxysporum and fluorescent pseudomonads. In this study, the role of bacterial antibiosis in Fusarium wilt suppressiveness was assessed by comparing the densities, diversity and activity of fluorescent Pseudomonas species producing 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) (phlD+) …
