Characterization and transcriptional analysis of Pseudomonas fluorescens denitrifying clusters containing the nar, nir, nor and nos genes
2001
In this study, we report the cloning and characterization of denitrifying gene clusters of Pseudomonas fluorescens C7R12 containing the narXLDKGHJI, nirPOQSM, norCB and nosRZDFYL genes. While consensus sequences for Fnr-like protein binding sites were identified in the promoter regions of the nar, nir, nor and nos genes, consensus sequences corresponding to the NarL binding sites were identified only upstream the nar genes. Monitoring by mRNA analysis the expression of the narG, nirS, norB and nosZ structural genes suggests a sequential induction of the denitrification system in P. fluorescens.
Pseudomonas lini sp. nov., a novel species from bulk and rhizospheric soils.
2002
The taxonomic position of eight fluorescent Pseudomonas strains isolated from bulk and rhizospheric soils, and from water was examined. These eight strains clustered in one phenon together with Pseudomomas mandelii (CFBP 4844T), but could still be differentiated from this type strain by four phenotypic features. The eight stains exhibited internal DNA-DNA hybridization values ranging from 60 to 100%, with deltaTm below 5 degrees C (3.9 and 4.3 degrees C) for the lowest values (60 and 66%). The percentages of hybridization with type or reference strains of other Pseudomonas species tested ranged from 12 to 60% (deltaTm = 5.5 degrees C), indicating that the eight isolates studied constituted …
Pseudomonas corrugata crpCDE is part of the cyclic lipopeptide corpeptin biosynthetic gene cluster and is involved in bacterial virulence in tomato a…
2014
Summary: Pseudomonas corrugataCFBP 5454 produces two kinds of cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs), cormycin A and corpeptins, both of which possess surfactant, antimicrobial and phytotoxic activities. In this study, we identified genes coding for a putative non-ribosomal peptide synthetase and an ABC-type transport system involved in corpeptin production. These genes belong to the same transcriptional unit, designated crpCDE. The genetic organization of this locus is highly similar to other PseudomonasCLP biosynthetic clusters. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) analysis revealed that transporter and synthetase genomic knock-out mutants were u…
The rise and the fall of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa endemic lineage in a hospital
2021
The biological features that allow a pathogen to survive in the hospital environment are mostly unknown. The extinction of bacterial epidemics in hospitals is mostly attributed to changes in medical practice, including infection control, but the role of bacterial adaptation has never been documented. We analysed a collection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates belonging to the Besançon Epidemic Strain (BES), responsible for a 12year nosocomial outbreak, using a genotype-to-phenotype approach. Bayesian analysis estimated the emergence of the clone in the hospital 5 years before its opening, during the creation of its water distribution network made of copper. BES survived better than the refe…

Characterization of denitrification gene clusters of soil bacteria via a metagenomic approach
2009
International audience; Denitrification is a microbial respiratory process contributing to the emission of greenhouse gas. The study of denitrifying bacteria, like that of others, is hindered by characteristics that can prevent up to 99% of soil bacteria from being cultivated in vitro. New approaches based on the direct extraction of DNA from the natural environment and PCR amplifications can overcome limitations due to bacterial unculturability, but until now their application to denitrification genes has led only to the recovery of partial sequences for some of these genes.Our goals in this study were to apply a metagenomic approach characterized by cloning of DNA extracted from soil and …
Relative involvement of nitrate and nitrite reduction in the competitiveness of Pseudomonas fluorescens in the rhizosphere of maize under non-limitin…
2002
Competition between different isogenic mutants of Pseudomonas fluorescens unable to carry out the first steps of the denitrification pathway was compared in soil micro-columns non-planted or planted with maize. A new isogenic mutant of P. fluorescens YT101 affected in both nitrate and nitrite respirations was constructed and used as a model of non-denitrifying strain (FM69MS strain). The outcome of the selection exerted by the plant after co-inoculation of FM69MS at the same ratio either with an isogenic denitrifier unable to reduce nitrate (Nar(-) mutant) or with an isogenic NO2 (-) accumulator (Nir(-) mutant) was investigated in non-limiting NO3 (-) conditions. Regardless of the inoculate…
Development of a pressurised liquid extraction and liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry method for the determi…
2006
Amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) is a potentially lethal human toxic syndrome which is caused by domoic acid (DA) that originates in marine phytoplankton belonging to the Pseudonitzschia genus. A confirmatory and sensitive procedure has been developed and validated for the determination of DA in shellfish. The proposed method includes pressurised liquid extraction (PLE) with methanol/acetone (9:1), florisil ® cleanup purification inside the PLE extraction cell and detection by liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to electrospray ionization in positive mode tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS–MS). Comparison of ionization sources (ESI, atmospheric pressure ionization (APCI) atmospheric pressure …
Development of a specific assay using RISA for detection of the bacterial agent of 'basses richesses' syndrome of sugar beet and confirmation of a Pe…
2007
International audience; A technique for the specific diagnosis in insects of SBRp (the γ-3 proteobacterium associated with the syndrome ‘basses richesses’ (SBR) of sugar beet crops in eastern France), using the RISA (rDNA intergenic spacer analysis) technique, was developed. PCR using the Alb1/Oliv1 primer pair specifically amplified a 16S-ITS region of SBRp and produced a characteristic DNA fingerprint. This PCR assay did not detect other closely related organisms, including the Arsenophonus endosymbiont of Diaphorina citri, the secondary endosymbiont of Glycaspis brimblecombei, or ‘Candidatus Phlomobacter fragariae’, a related phytopathogenic γ-3 proteobacterium. Six different ribosomal o…
Factorization of homomorphisms through H∞(D)
2003
AbstractWeakly compact homomorphisms between (URM) algebras with connected maximal ideal space are shown to factor through H∞(D) by means of composition operators and to be strongly nuclear. The spectrum of such homomorphisms is also described. Strongly nuclear composition operators between algebras of bounded analytic functions are characterized. The path connected components of the space of endomorphisms on H∞(D) in the uniform operator topology are determined.
