希瓦氏菌是一类革兰氏阴性土壤铁还原菌,具有胞外电子传递能力,其胞外聚合物的组成是直接影响其电子传递效应的重要因素之一。胞外多糖(EPS)是胞外聚合物的重要组成成分,该文以Shewanella oneidensis MR-1为对象,采用苯酚-硫酸法结合光谱法、色谱法及质谱法等系统地研究了含不同浓度(0、0.7、1.4、2.1和5.0 mmol/L) CaCl2培养基对MR-1胞外多糖的影响。结果表明,不同浓度Ca^2+影响下的MR-1多糖的分泌量各不相同,其中Ca^2+浓度为2.1 mmol/L时,MR-1分泌多糖质量浓度最高,为0.3 g/mL,是无Ca^2+影响的EPS分泌量的5倍;而Ca^2+浓度为1.4 mmol/L 时,EPS为0.08 g/mL,与无Ca^2+影响时EPS分泌量相近;Ca^2+对MR-1分泌的EPS结构没有显著性影响,获得的EPS均为由α-D-吡喃甘露糖通过1,3-苷键形成的多糖。研究结果为深入研究希瓦氏菌胞外聚合物提供数据参考。
Shewanella is a gramnegative soil iron reducing bacteria,which has extracellular electrontransfer ability.The composition of the extracellular polymer is one of the important factors that can directly influence the electron transfer effect.Extracellular polysaccharide (EPS)is an important component of extracellular polymers.The effect of different concentrations of CaCl2 (0,0.7,1.4,2.1 and 5.0 mmol/L)on the EPS of Shewanella oneidensis MR -1 was herein studied by phenol sulfuric acidmethod combined with spectrophotometry,chromatography and mass spectrometry.The results showedthat the amount of EPS would vary with the Ca^2 + concentration.Maximum EPS production of 0.3 g /mLwas obtained in the culture medium with 2.1 mmol/L of Ca^2 + concentration,which was 5 times greaterthan that obtained without Ca^2 +.The amount of EPS obtained with 1.4 mmol/L Ca^2 + concentration was 0.08 g/mL,which was nearly the same to that obtained without Ca^2 +.The concentration of Ca^2 + in themedium did not significantly influence the structure of EPS produced by MR -1.EPS had a repeating unit with a [→3) -α-D-Manp (1→]backbone chain.The results of this study provide reference da-ta for the further study of Shewanella extracellular polymers.
