Cloning and expression of lipase enzyme-encoding genes in suitable host lead to their widespread use in different fields. The present study represents the first attempt towards the expression of the synthetic lipase gene in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. An alkalophilic lipase gene (GenBank accession number: NP_388152) from Bacillus subtilis was synthetically designed and introduced in the pJN105 vector and subsequently cloned in Pseudomonas aeruginosa SDK-6. Agarose gel electrophoresis confirmed the transformation of SDK-6, exhibiting a band difference of ~ 700 bp between native and recombinant pJN105. Further amplification of cloned lipase gene was confirmed using PCR amplification with Lip 1 and Lip 2 primers respectively, followed by restriction analysis. Approximately 15-fold increase in lipase production was observed in recombinant Pseudomonas as compared to the native strain.

The clinical presentation and inflammatory markers in Lyme arthritis can resemble septic arthritis. Determining the levels of alpha-defensins (human neutrophil peptide (HNP 1-3)) in synovial fluid by liquid chromatography is a highly sensitive method revealing the presence of inflammatory process. Between 2020 and 2022, we examined eleven patients with Lyme arthritis of the knee. We measured levels of HNP 1-3 from synovial fluid by HPLC in patients, and we compared it with the corresponding C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in paired serum samples. In patients diagnosed with Lyme arthritis, HNP 1-3 levels in synovial fluid ranged from 2.5 to 261 mg/L, with a median of 46.5 mg/L. Average serum CRP was 43 mg/L. The results show that elevated HNP 1-3 can be consistent with not only septic arthritis or systemic disease, but also with Lyme arthritis, especially in patients with negative culture and 16S PCR from synovial fluid.

During the antimicrobial drug administration or application for any purpose, the microbial population can expect to get exposed to the sub-minimum inhibitory concentration (sub-MIC) of the drug which will have an unprecedented impact on microbial responses. Hence, the study has been conducted to investigate the effects of sub-MIC levels of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on the biofilm formation of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. Here, the selected bacteria were primarily screened for the biofilm formation by using the Congo red agar method, and their susceptibility to ZnO NPs was also evaluated. Quantitative difference in biofilm formation by the selected organisms in the presence of ZnO NPs at the sub-MIC level was further carried out by using the microtiter plate-crystal violet assay. Further, the samples were subjected to atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis to evaluate the properties and pattern of the biofilm modulated under the experimental conditions used. From these, the organisms treated with sub-MIC levels of ZnO NPs were found to have enhanced biofilm formation when compared with the untreated sample.

Different treatment methods like electropotential charge, ultrasonication, and copper coating of titanium condenser material may influence the microbial population over the surface of the titanium condensers. The present study aimed to catalog the primary colonizers and the effect of different treatment methods on the microbial community. CFU (1.7 × 10<sup>9</sup> CFU/mL) and ATP count (< 5000 × 10<sup>-7</sup> relative luminescence units) showed a minimal microbial population in copper-coated surface biofilm as compared with the other treatments. Live and dead cell result also showed consistency with colony count. The biofilm sample on the copper-coated surface showed an increased dead cell count and decreased live cells. In the metagenomic approach, the microbiome coverage was 10.06 Mb in samples derived from copper-coated TCM than in other treated samples (electropotential charge-17.94 Mb; ultrasonication-20.01 Mb), including control (10.18 Mb). Firmicutes preponderate the communities in the biofilm samples, and Proteobacteria stand next in the population in all the treated condenser materials. At the genus level, Lactobacillaceae and Azospirillaceae dominated the biofilm community. The metagenome data suggested that the attached community is different from those biofilm samples based on the environment that influences the bacterial community. The outcome of the present study depicts that copper coating was effective against biofouling and corrosion resistance of titanium condenser material for designing long-term durability.</p>","PeriodicalId":12346,"journal":{"name":"Folia microbiologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141070731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
