Cyanide production by Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Of 200 water isolates screened, five strains of Pseudomonas fluorescens and one strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were cyanogenic. Maximum cyanogenesis by two strains of P. fluorescens in a defined growth medium occurred at 25 to 30 degrees C over a pH range of 6.6 to 8.9. Cyanide production per cell was optimum at 300 mM phosphate. A linear relationship was observed between cyanogenesis and the...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa and cyanide production.
I nfection and subsequent chronic infection of the cystic fibrosis (CF) lung with organisms such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa probably occurs at an early stage in the life of a child suffering from CF. Clinicians worldwide are eager to isolate the organism as early as possible in an attempt to treat the patient before any permanent damage occurs and hopefully to eliminate the organism completely f...
متن کاملThe transcriptional regulator AlgR controls cyanide production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes chronic lung infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. One characteristic of P. aeruginosa CF isolates is the overproduction of the exopolysaccharide alginate, controlled by AlgR. Transcriptional profiling analyses comparing mucoid P. aeruginosa strains to their isogenic algR deletion strains showed that the transcription of cya...
متن کاملImproved Production of Rhamnolipids by a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Mutant
A Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutant derived by random mutagenesis with N-methyl-N¢-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, producing high levels of the rhamnolipid biosurfactants was selected on Siegmund-Wagner (SW) plates. The mutant designated P. aeruginosa PTCC1637 produces rhamnolipids at concentrations 10 time more than parent strain. NMR analysis and surface tension measurement showed that the biosurfactan...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 kills Caenorhabditis elegans by cyanide poisoning.
In this report we describe experiments to investigate a simple virulence model in which Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 rapidly paralyzes and kills the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Our results imply that hydrogen cyanide is the sole or primary toxic factor produced by P. aeruginosa that is responsible for killing of the nematode. Four lines of evidence support this conclusion. First, a transpos...
