Abstract
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the pathogens that cause food poisoning. Prodigiosin (PG) is a kind of microbial secondary metabolites with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and other biological activities. In the present study, PG as the natural metabolite of Serratia marcescens was found to have the significant bacteriostatic activity against MRSA undergoing division and proliferation. It can damage cell walls, cell membranes and biofilms of MRSA, and cause leakage of proteins and nucleic acids. PG also could cause cells die due to the oxidative stress by inhibition of SOD and CAT activities. The differences of accumulation metabolites (DAMs) and expressed genes (DEGs) were mainly involved in ribosome, ABC transporters, DNA replication and repair, amino acid synthesis and metabolism, and carbohydrate metabolism according to the metabolomics and transcriptomics. In conclusion, the present study explored the bacteriostatic activity and inhibitory mechanism of PG, which will provide a research basis for PG’s development and application in food safety.
期刊介绍:
Process Biochemistry is an application-orientated research journal devoted to reporting advances with originality and novelty, in the science and technology of the processes involving bioactive molecules and living organisms. These processes concern the production of useful metabolites or materials, or the removal of toxic compounds using tools and methods of current biology and engineering. Its main areas of interest include novel bioprocesses and enabling technologies (such as nanobiotechnology, tissue engineering, directed evolution, metabolic engineering, systems biology, and synthetic biology) applicable in food (nutraceutical), healthcare (medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic), energy (biofuels), environmental, and biorefinery industries and their underlying biological and engineering principles.
