Polyethylene (PE) has been considered nonbiodegradable for decades. Although the biodegradation of PE by bacterial cultures occasionally described, valid evidence remained limited in literature. We found that waxworms, or Indian mealmoths (the larvae Plodia interpunctella), were capable chewing and eating films. Two strains degrading isolated from this worm's gut, Enterobacter asburiae YT1 Bacillus sp. YP1. Over a 28-day incubation period two on films, viable biofilms formed, films'...
The role of gut bacteria mealworms (the larvae Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus) in polystyrene (PS) degradation was investigated. Gentamicin the most effective inhibitor among six antibiotics tested. Gut bacterial activities were essentially suppressed by feeding gentamicin food (30 mg/g) for 10 days. Gentamicin-feeding lost ability to depolymerize PS and mineralize into CO2, as determined characterizing worm fecula with 13C-labeled PS. A PS-degrading strain isolated from guts mealworms,...
Polystyrene (PS) is generally considered to be durable and resistant biodegradation. Mealworms (the larvae of Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus) from different sources chew eat Styrofoam, a common PS product. The Styrofoam was efficiently degraded in the larval gut within retention time less than 24 h. Fed with as sole diet, lived well those fed normal diet (bran) over period 1 month. analysis fecula egested Styrofoam-feeding larvae, using gel permeation chromatography (GPC), solid-state 13C...
Isobutanol, a C4 branched-chain higher alcohol, is regarded as an attractive next-generation transport fuel. Metabolic engineering for efficient isobutanol production has been achieved in many studies. BmoR, alcohol-regulated transcription factor, mediates σ54-dependent promoter Pbmo of alkane monooxygenase n-alkane metabolism Thauera butanivorans and displays high sensitivity to C4–C6 linear alcohols C3–C5 alcohols. In this study, achieve the high-level isobutanol, we established screening...
ABSTRACT Three methods were examined to cultivate bacteria associated with the marine sponge Haliclona ( gellius ) sp.: agar plate cultures, liquid and floating filter cultures. A variety of oligotrophic media employed, including aqueous organic extracts, bacterial signal molecules, siderophores. More than 3,900 isolates analyzed, 205 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) identified. Media containing low concentrations mucin or a mixture peptone starch most successful for isolation diversity,...
TIR domains are NAD-degrading enzymes that function during immune signaling in prokaryotes, plants, and animals. In most incorporated into intracellular receptors termed TNLs. Arabidopsis, TIR-derived small molecules bind activate EDS1 heterodimers, which turn RNLs, a class of cation channel–forming receptors. RNL activation drives cytoplasmic Ca 2+ influx, transcriptional reprogramming, pathogen resistance, host cell death. We screened for mutants suppress an mimic allele identified TNL,...
Some plant NLR immune receptors are encoded in head-to-head "sensor-executor" pairs that function together. Alleles of the pair CHS3/CSA1 form three clades. The clade 1 sensor CHS3 contains an integrated domain (ID) with homology to regulatory domains, which is lacking clades 2 and 3. In this study, we defined two cell-death modes for pairs. One mediated by ID on CHS3, other relies from all detecting perturbation associated pattern-recognition receptor (PRR) co-receptor. Our data support...
The translation of rare codons relies on their corresponding tRNAs, which could not be fully charged under amino acid starvation. Theoretically, disrupted or retarded caused by the lack tRNAs can partially restored feeding intracellular synthesis acids. Inspired this assumption, we develop a screening selection system for obtaining overproducers target replacing its common with synonymous alternative in coding sequence selected reporter proteins antibiotic-resistant markers. Results show...
A bacterial strain, BIT-26T, was isolated from the gut of plastic-eating mealworm Tenebrio molitor L. The taxonomic position this new isolate investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Cells strain were Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile rods with peritrichous flagella. 16S rRNA gene sequence (1412 bp) BIT-26T showed highest similarity (97.4 %) to Erwinia piriflorinigrans CFBP 5888T, followed Citrobacter sedlakii NBRC 105722T (97.3 %), Mixta calida LMG 25383T Cronobacter...
A bacterial strain, BIT-B35T, was isolated from the gut of plastic-eating larvae Coleoptera insect Zophobas atratus. Its taxonomic position determined by using a polyphasic approach. Cells were white-pigmented, Gram-stain-negative, motile short rods with terminal flagella. The 16S rRNA gene sequence (1411 bp) strain BIT-B35T showed highest similarity (98.1%) to Escherichia fergusonii ATCC 35469T and Citrobacter koseri LMG 5519T. results phylogenetic analyses, based on gene, concatenated...
