[PMID: 38042318 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023]
Abstract
We here describe the isolation of a novel exopolysaccharide from Acinetobacter rhizosphaerae, named ArEPS. The structure of ArEPS was characterized by analysis of the monosaccharide composition, molecular weight, infrared spectrum, methylation, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum. ArEPS was found to be an acidic heteropolysaccharide composed of glucose, galactose, galacturonic acid, glucuronic acid, mannose, and glucosamine; the molecular weight was 1533 kDa. Structural analysis showed that the main-chain structure of ArEPS predominantly comprised 1,3,6-β-Glcp, 1,3,4-α-Galp, 1,2-β-Glcp, 1,4-β-GlcpA, 1,4-β-GalpA, and the side-chain structure comprised 1,6-β-Glcp, 1,3-β-Galp, 1-α-Glcp, 1-β-Galp, 1-α-Manp, 1,4,6-α-Glcp, 1,2,4-β-Glcp, 1,2,3-β-Glcp, and 1,3-β-GlcpN. ArEPS significantly enhanced the tolerance of rice seedlings to salt stress. Specifically, plant height, fresh weight, chlorophyll content, and the K+/Na+ ratio increased by 51 %, 63 %, 29 %, and 162 %, respectively, and the malondialdehyde content was reduced by 45 % after treatment with 100 mg/kg ArEPS compared to treatment with 100 mM NaCl. Finally, based on the quadratic regression between fresh weight and ArEPS addition, the optimal ArEPS addition level was estimated to be 135.12 mg/kg. These results indicate the prospects of ArEPS application in agriculture.

FEMS Microbiol Ecol 2019; 95:5519854. [DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiz094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2019] [Accepted: 06/14/2019] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
ABSTRACTLipopolysaccharides (LPSs) are the main components of the external leaflet of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Microorganisms that colonize permanently or transiently cold habitats have evolved an array of structural adaptations, some of which involve components of bacterial membranes. These adaptations assure the perfect functionality of the membrane even at freezing or sub-freezing growth temperatures. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art information concerning the structural features of the LPSs produced by cold-adapted bacteria. The LPS structure has recently been elucidated from species mainly belonging to Gammaproteobacteria and Flavobacteriaceae. Although the reported structural heterogeneity may arise from the phylogenetic diversity of the analyzed source strains, some generalized trends can be deduced. For instance, it is clear that only a small portion of LPSs displays the O-chain. In addition, the biological activity of the lipid A portion from several cold-adapted strains is reported.

[PMID: 30717135 PMCID: PMC6410138 DOI: 10.3390/md17020089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2019] [Revised: 01/26/2019] [Accepted: 01/28/2019] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Two new alkaloids indolepyrazines A (1) and B (2) were isolated from the marine-derived Acinetobacter sp. ZZ1275. Their structures were elucidated through extensive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic analyses, high resolution electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (HRESIMS) data, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation. Indolepyrazine A represents the first example of alkaloids with an indole-pyrazine-oxindole skeleton. Both 1 and 2 showed antimicrobial activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 12 μg/mL, 8–10 μg/mL, and 12–14 μg/mL, respectively.
