Structural analysis of two glycosphingolipids from the lipopolysaccharide-lacking bacterium Sphingomonas capsulata.

چکیده
Two glycosphingolipids, GSL-1 and GSL-3, were isolated from Sphingomonas capsulata and studied by methylation analysis, laser desorption mass spectrometry, and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, including two-dimensional 1H,1H COSY and heteronuclear 13C,1H COSY experiments. GSL-1 and GSL-3 differ in their carbohydrate part, their structures being alpha-D-GlcpA-(1-->1)-Cer and alpha-D-Galp-(1-->6)-alpha-D-GlcpN-(1-->4)-alpha-D-GlcpA(1-- >1)Cer, respectively. Variations occur in the ceramide of GSL-1 and GSL-3, both having the same long-chain bases, erythro-2-amino-1, 3-octadecanediol (sphinganine), (13Z)-erythro-2-amino-13-eicosene-1, 3-diol and (13Z)-erythro-2-amino-13,14-methylene-1,3-eicosanediol, in the ratios 2.6 : 1 : 3.5 in GSL-1 and 1 : 1.2 : 1.5 in GSL-3. All bases are quantitatively substituted by amide-linked (S)-2-hydroxymyristic acid.

Structure of the Lipopolysaccharide Core Region
Most Gram-negative bacteria (exceptions are Treponema pallidum, Borrelia burgdorferi and B. hispanica, Sphingomonas capsulata and S. paucimobili, Thermus thermophilus, and Meiothermus taiwanensis [1–7]) contain lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in their outer membrane [8]. In general, the LPS may be present either in the smooth form (S, possessing the polysaccharide region) or in the rough form (R, lack...
متن کاملAromatic-degrading Sphingomonas isolates from the deep subsurface.
An obligately aerobic chemoheterotrophic bacterium (strain F199) previously isolated from Southeast Coastal Plain subsurface sediments and shown to degrade toluene, naphthalene, and other aromatic compounds (J. K. Fredrickson, F. J. Brockman, D. J. Workman, S. W. Li, and T. O. Stevens, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 57:796-803, 1991) was characterized by analysis of its 16S rRNA nucleotide base sequ...
متن کاملThe genus Sphingomonas: physiology and ecology.
Exploitation of the metabolic capabilities of the genus Sphingomonas could provide important commercial benefits to biotechnology. Recent advances have demonstrated that these organisms have unique abilities to degrade refractory contaminants, to serve as bacterial antagonists to phytopathogenic fungi, and to secrete the highly useful gellan exopolysaccharides. Unfortunately, Sphingomonas are a...
متن کاملSphingomonas oligophenolica sp. nov., a halo- and organo-sensitive oligotrophic bacterium from paddy soil that degrades phenolic acids at low concentrations.
The taxonomic position of a halo- and organo-sensitive, oligotrophic soil bacterium, strain S213(T), was investigated. Cells were Gram-negative, non-motile, strictly aerobic, yellow-pigmented rods of short to medium length on diluted nutrient broth. When 0.1-0.4 % (w/v) NaCl was added to diluted media composed of peptone and meat extract, growth was inhibited with increasing NaCl concentration ...
متن کاملTaxonomic Study of Aromatic-Degrading Bacteria from Deep- Terrestrial-Subsurface Sediments and Description of Sphingomonas aromaticivorans
Phylogenetic analyses of 16s rRNA gene sequences by distance matrix and parsimony methods indicated that six strains of bacteria isolated from deep saturated Atlantic coastal plain sediments were closely related to the genus Sphingomonas. Five of the strains clustered with, but were distinct from, Sphingomonas capsulata, whereas the sixth strain was most closely related to Blastobacter natatori...
