Show moreInfluenza virus type A neuraminidase (NA) was detected in the supernatant of virus infected monkey kidney (Vero) and canine kidney (MDCK) cell cultures utilizing isoelectric focusing (IEF) techniques and a fluorogenic substrate, 4-methylumbelliferol-alpha-N-neuraminic acid (4-MUN). Lipids were extracted from the virus infected cells by phase separation in the organic solvent Lipo-clean. The aqueous phase was sonicated in the presence of the detergent NP-40 in order to solubilize the proteins. Concentration of proteins by ultrafiltration and separation by IEF on the PhastSystem (Pharmacia) followed. Proteins from the IEF gel were blotted to nitrocellulose which had been soaked in the 4-MUN substrate solution. Fluorescent bands specific for influenza type A viral NA were detected with a long range UV light. This technique may have applications for use with clinical respiratory specimens since it has the capability to distinguish between bacterial and viral neuraminidases, including type A and B influenza and parainfluenza viruses.

- Pursglove, Diana L., Waddell, Glenn H., Florida Atlantic University
- Abstract/Description
-
Marine bacteria are usually described as those bacteria which grow optimally in sea water. Their complex requirements for specific ions (sodium, potassium and magnesium) have been used to differentiate marine from terrigenous bacteria. These requirements, however, vary at the gene level through mutation. Both spontaneous and induced (ultraviolet light) mutations to loss of the ion requirement were observed. Spontaneous frequencies were low (below 10^-6); induced frequencies, high (10^-1 to 10...
Show moreMarine bacteria are usually described as those bacteria which grow optimally in sea water. Their complex requirements for specific ions (sodium, potassium and magnesium) have been used to differentiate marine from terrigenous bacteria. These requirements, however, vary at the gene level through mutation. Both spontaneous and induced (ultraviolet light) mutations to loss of the ion requirement were observed. Spontaneous frequencies were low (below 10^-6); induced frequencies, high (10^-1 to 10^-8). Back mutations were noticed. A stepwise mechanism was postulated for the mechanism of the mutation involved in the appearance of ion independent bacteria in a population of cells. Genetic analysis of the mechanism by which variations in ion requirements occurred included determination of base ratios and of transformation frequencies. The base ratios of mutant and parent bacteria were similar enough and the transformation frequencies high enough (10^-3 to 10^-5) to show a close relationship between the two types of bacteria. This similarity indicated that, although the genome of marine bacteria, which clearly controls the requirement for specific ions from the values of mutation frequencies, is altered by the action of ultraviolet light, the change was not observable by the methods used. The change could have been induced on the gene level to effect the synthesis of structural or functional proteins (enzymes).

Show moreA recent surge in the consumption of shrimps has compelled the aquaculture industry to expand greatly. Bacteriosis poses a major challenge to shrimp cultivation. Probiotic control of disease in larvicultures has been on the rise for the past decade; however, there has been little research to provide required frameworks for this promising technology. In this study, the normal gut flora of the commercially important shrimp, Penaeus vannamei, and its relative, P. duorarum was extensively analyzed to provide a basis for selection of putative probiotic strains. Heterotorphic members of the gut and ambient water were isolated and characterized by culture techniques, microscopy, Biolog biochemical fingerprinting, whole cell crude protein fingerprinting, and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Non-pathogenic Vibrio harveyi-like strains were prevalent in the gut of both penaied shrimps, regardless of age and source. Community level physiological profiling by principal component analysis showed the gut community was fairly stable throughout shrimp life stages.

Show moreNormal and infected equine nasopharyngeal culture samples were investigated for their streptococcal species. Sampling and isolation were greatly facilitated with the use of disposable swabs and streptosel broth (B.B.L.). All nasopharyngeal culture samples contained streptococci. With supplements of veal infusion or heart infusion added for the more fastidious organisms, phenol red broths were employed to determine the species of streptococci present. If the organisms were able to grow in Todd-Hewitt broth with 6.5 per cent saline added, they were subsequently tested for the ability to hydrolyze gelatin. The absence of catalase was noted and the ability or inability to hydrolyze starch was tested. Alpha, beta, and gamma hemolysis on blood agar plates was noted. Alpha-hemolytic colonies were isolated from the nasopharyngeal samples. These alpha-hemolytic streptococci were previously unreported in the literature. Optochin sensitivity tests were done on all alpha hemolytic colonies to confirm streptococcal growth by non-inhibition by ethyl hydrocuprein hydrochloride. Normal horses were found to possess beta-hemolytic streptococci, suggesting an immune carrier state. The presence of these beta-hemolytic streptococci in normal horses was also previously unreported in the literature. Since most of the infected horses sampled were also undergoing chemotherapy, antibiotic sensitivity tests were done on the streptococcal isolates. Penicillin, streptomycin, erythromycin, and bacitracin, antibiotics generally effective against Gram positive organisms were selected for the tests. All equine pathogenic streptococci were sensitive to the antibiotics used in chemotherapy. Streptococcus equi was sensitive to bacitracin where S. zooepidemicus was resistant to the same antibiotic. This may be new method to differentiate the two species. Antistreptolysin-O titers were done on 4 infected horses for more than one month following their upper respiratory symptoms. Only one horse showed a slight yet consistent, titer over the period tested. This particular horse did not possess S. equi in his nasopharynx. Thus the absence of S. equi in infected horses has been linked to the possession of an antistreptolysin-O titer in combination with antibiotic treatment. S. equi was cultured from horses receiving chemotherapy yet not possessing an antistreptolysin-O titer. Mouse protection tests using serum from horses infected with streptococci were inconclusive. Growth curves using stationary and agitated media showed better growth and more matt colonies in the richest stationary cultures. Rabbit immunization with bacterin made from disrupted pathogenic streptococci was begun. Using the Lancefield hot acid extraction method streptococcal cell extracts were prepared from the isolates. The extracts were then tested against known Group C antiserum in the small tube precipitin test. S. equi, S. zooepidemicus, S. bovis, S. fecalis, S. sanguis, and S. equisimilis were present in the normal equine nasopharynx. The presence of S. equi and S. zooepidemicus in the normal horses suggests an immune carrier state. The same organisms in the normal horses and S. equinus were present in the infected equine nasopharynx. S. equi and S. zooepidemicus were present more often in the infected horses than in the normals. S. zooepidemicus was present in infected horses not undergoing chemotherapy. The presence of this organism in the chronic equine suggests that protective antibody is neither present nor being produced.

Show moreThis study evaluated the stability of oral bacteria in healthy subjects and documented community shifts in smokers and oral/periodontal disease by employing PCR-RFLP, DGGE and sequence analysis of the 16S rDNA gene from metagenomes and plate-wash (cultured) bacteria of oral wash from 15 participants,. A stable core of bacterial DNA fingerprint was detected within and between subjects and did not change over time when analyzed in smokers and healthy non-smokers. Signature bands in smokers, non-smokers and periodontal disease subjects were evident suggesting the presence of potential indicators of health and poor oral health. Taxon diversity was higher in smokers including members of the genera Rothia, Synechococcus, Neisseria, Thiomargarita and Pyrobaculum but highest in periodontal disease. The two techniques successfully aligned the subjects within appropriate categories (based on their oral microbial genetic patterns)confirming their diagnostic suitability.

In the present study, a colloidal gold based immunoassay test strip was developed for Microcystin-LR detection. The detection limit was found to be 1 ng/mL. 5 nm colloidal gold test strips exhibits more efficient for detection, compared with 20 nm colloidal gold test strips. The interaction between Microcystin-LR antibody (immunoglobulin G) and colloidal gold nanoparticles was investigated by various analytical methods, including Ultraviolet/Visible (UV/VIS), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Fluorescence spectroscopy as well as transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Show moreCultivation of microbial populations is a necessity for the use of microbes within the biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries, however, approximately only 1% of bacteria have been successfully cultivated in the lab. Dilution to Extinction (DTE) is a technique which involves serially diluting a microbial suspension to single cell inoculum prior to inoculation in a liquid medium designed to replicate natural aquatic environments. This technique was used here for the cultivation of diverse, potentially novel microbes from the marine sponge, Mycale microsigmatosa. One hundred thirty-six samples were successfully sequenced and identified with the majority belonging to the classes Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria. Furthermore, when combined with miniaturized fermentation, DTE allowed for the isolation and identification of marine natural products (3-Heptyl-3-hydroxy-2,4 (1H, 3H)-quinolinedione and 2-Heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline) active against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. These metabolites originated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an isolate obtained from Mycale microsigmatosa using this technique.

Show moreVibrio bacteria are emerging pathogens responsible for 80,000 illnesses and 100 deaths in the United States each year. Infections are directly linked to the marine environment and are acquired by consuming contaminated seafood or exposing wounds during aquatic activities. Florida has the highest national incidence of vibriosis, with 20% of its cases reported from the Indian River Lagoon region, a popular recreation destination. This study utilized a combination of cultivation and molecular techniques to investigate the local distribution of V. vulnificus, V. parahaemolyticus and V. cholerae in this local waterway. The targeted species were found in an array of samples which may facilitate their transmission to humans. Overall, these bacteria were abundant in estuarine sediments (Vp: 2,439 CFU/g, Vv: 303 CFU/g, Vc: 176 CFU/g), on the sharp edges of oyster shells (Vp: 82 CFU/cm, Vv: 102 CFU/cm, Vc: 41 CFU/cm), and in the water column (Vp: 3.78 CFU/ml, Vv: 5.51 CFU/ml, Vc: 2.46 CFU/ml). Vibrio also pose a hazard to recreational anglers as they were recovered from fish (Vp: 61%, Vv: 55%, Vc: 30%), live bait shrimp (Vp: 80%, Vv: 37%, Vc: 0%) and hooks (Vp: 32%, Vv: 18%, Vc: 0%). Additionally, a molecular analysis of the V. vulnificus virulence revealed that the local population was dominated by disease-causing (vcgC) strains, which may explain why wound-related infections are common in this region. Vibrio occurrence varied both spatially and temporally due to their relationship with salinity and temperature. These bacteria exhibited a strong negative correlation with salinity, being particularly abundant near freshwater discharge locations. Due to Florida’s year-round warm climate, these species were found to be permanent members of the local microbial community. Seasonal peaks in abundance occurred between August and October, a period which corresponds with the warmest water temperatures as well as frequent rainfall. Predictive models were constructed based on these parameters to provide a better understanding of how, when and where Vibrio spp. may be encountered by humans. This information is important for both water management and healthcare initiatives, with an overall goal of improving local recreational safety.

Show moreMicrobial partners provide beneficial and detrimental functions to their hosts and other microbes through the exchange of metabolites and info chemicals. Developing an understanding of these micro-interactions has considerable implications for human health, agriculture, and ecosystem protection. Here, the microbial interactions of two important marine organisms: the Forcepia sp. sponge, a source of the potential anticancer compound, lasonolide A (LSA), and Pyrodinium bahamense, a dinoflagellate which produces the potent neurotoxin, saxitoxin, were investigated. Chapter 1 introduces marine microbial interactions, their importance in the function of organisms and ecosystems, and their applications in human health, agriculture and ecosystem production. Chapter 2 describes the identification and capture of the lasonolide biosynthetic pathway from a metagenomic fosmid library. This chapter also describes the assembly of the pathway into an expression vector and attempts to sustainably produce LSA through heterologous expression. Chapter 3 describes the identification and characterization of the bacterial associates of Pyrodinium bahamense, a toxin producing dinoflagellate found in the northern Indian River Lagoon. This chapter also describes potential chemical and molecular interactions occurring between P. bahamense and its associated cultivable bacteria. Chapter 4 describes the investigation into the effects microbial associates have on the physiology of P. bahamense. The completion of this work further describes microbial interactions occurring in marine environments, their influences and functions in the physiology and evolution of marine organisms, and the tools available for their investigation and utilization for human and ecosystem benefit.
