Abstract
Ten strains of psychrotolerant methylotrophic bacteria were isolated from the samples collected in Larsemann and Bunger Hills (Antarctica). Most of the isolates are assigned to the genus Pseudomonas, representatives of the genera Janthinobacterium, Massilia, Methylotenera and Flavobacterium were also found. Majority of isolates were able to grow on a wide range of sugars, methylamines and other substrates. Optimal growth temperatures for the isolated strains varied from 6 °C to 28 °C. The optimal concentration of NaCl was 0.5–2.0%. The optimal pH values of the medium were 6–7. It was found that three strains synthesized indole-3-acetic acid on a medium with L-tryptophan reaching 11–12 μg/ml. The values of intracellular carbohydrates in several strains exceeded 50 μg/ml. Presence of calcium-dependent and lanthanum-dependent methanol dehydrogenase have been shown for some isolates. Strains xBan7, xBan20, xBan37, xBan49, xPrg27, xPrg48, xPrg51 showed the presence of free amino acids. Bioprospection of Earth cryosphere for such microorganisms has a potential in biotechnology.
期刊介绍:
Research papers must make a significant and original contribution to
microbiology and be of interest to a broad readership. The results of any
experimental approach that meets these objectives are welcome, particularly
biochemical, molecular genetic, physiological, and/or physical investigations into
microbial cells and their interactions with their environments, including their eukaryotic hosts.
Mini-reviews in areas of special topical interest and papers on medical microbiology, ecology and systematics, including description of novel taxa, are also published.
Theoretical papers and those that report on the analysis or ''mining'' of data are
acceptable in principle if new information, interpretations, or hypotheses
emerge.
