두 개의 amylase를 호알칼리성 Pseudomonas sp. KFCC 10818의 배양액으로부터 정제하여 그 특성을 조사하였다. 정제된 효소의 분자량은 각각 50 kDa과 75 kDa이었다. 이 효소들의 최적반응온도는 각각 $35^{\circ}C$와 $40^{\circ}C$였으며 50 kDa의 효소는 칼슘이온에 의하여 효소활성이 두 배로 촉진되었다. 이 두 효소는 최적 pH가 6-8 부근이었으며 pH 12의 조건에서도 효소활성을 유지하는 알칼리내성을 나타냈다. Maltooligosaccharide이나 soluble starch로부터 maltose와 maltotriose를 최종 효소반응산물로 생산하였다. 두 amylase는 N-말단 아미노산 서열이 각각 QTVPKTTFV와 DTVPGNAFQ로 분석되었다.

Pseudomonas sp. DJ77의 게놈 library로부터 phenanthrene 분해에 관련된 유전자를 포함하는 약 5-kb의 XhoI 절편을 pBLUESCRIPT SK(+)로 클로닝하였으며, 이 재조합 plasmid를 pUPX5라 명명하였다. 이 재조합 균주에 catechol과 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 용액을 분무하면 노란색의 meta-cleavage 화합물이 생성됨을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 그리고 효소 활성을 측정한 결과 catechol에서보다 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl에 더 큰 활성을 나타냈다. 이 부분에 존재하는 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase 유전자의 위치를 결정하고, 이 유전자를 phnQ라 명명하였다.

A biosurfactant-producing microorganism was isolated from activated sludge by enrichment culture when grown on a minimal salt medium containing n-hexadecane as a sole carbon source. This microorganism was identified as Pseudomonas sp. and it was named Pseudomonas sp. EL-G527. It's optimal culture condition is 2% n-hexadecane, 0.2% NH$_4$NO$_3$, 0.3% KH$_2$PO$_4$, 0.3% $K_2$HPO$_4$, 0.02% MgSO$_4$ㆍ7$H_2O$, 0.0025% CaCk$_2$ㆍ6$H_2O$, 0.0015% FeSO$_4$ㆍ7$H_2O$ in 1$\ell$ distilled water and initial pH 7.0. Cultivation was initiated with a 2% inoculum obtained from starter cultures grown in 30 $m\ell$ of the same medium in 250 $m\ell$ flask. They were cultivated at 3$0^{\circ}C$ in reciprocal shaking incubator and the highest biosurfactant production was observed after 4 days.

Pseudomonas sp. S-47 is capable of catabolizing 4-chlorobenzoate (4CBA) as carbon and energy sources under aerobic conditions via the mesa-cleavage pathway. 4CBA-dioxygenase and 4CBA-dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (4CBA-DD) catalyzed the degradation af 4CBA to produce 4-chlorocatechol in the pathway. In this study, the xylL gene encoding 4CBA-DD was cloned from the chromosomal DNA of Pseudomonas sp. S-47 and its nucleotide sequence was analyzed. The xylL gene was found to be composed of 777 nucleotide pairs and to encode a polypeptide of 28 kDa with 258 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence of the dehydrogenase (XylL) from strain S-47 exhibited 98% and 60% homologies with these of the corresponding enzymes, Pseudomonas putida mt-2 (XyIL) and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus (BenD), respectively. However, the amino arid sequences show 30% or less homology with those of Pseudomonas putida (BnzE), Pseudomonas putida Fl (TodD), Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes KF707 (BphB), and Pseudomonas sp. C18 (NahB). Therefore, the 4CBA-dihydrodiol dehdrogenase of strain S-47 belongs to the group I dehydrogenase involved in the degradation of mono-aryls with a carboxyl group.

In an effort to discover an alternative antibiotic for treating infections with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Pseudomonas sp. UJ-6, a marine bacterium that exhibited antibacterial activity against MRSA, was isolated. The culture broth and its ethyl acetate extract exhibited bactericidal activity against MRSA. The extract also exhibited antibacterial activity against gram-negative bacteria, which were not susceptible to vancomycin. The treatment of MRSA with the extract resulted in abnormal cell lysis. The extract retained >95% of its anti-MRSA activity after heat treatment for 15 min at $121^{\circ}C$. Thus, although most antibiotics are unstable under conditions of thermal stress, Pseudomonas sp. UJ-6 produces a heat-stable anti-MRSA substance. The results of this study strongly suggest that Pseudomonas sp. UJ-6 can be used to develop a novel, heat-stable, broad-spectrum antibiotic for the treatment of MRSA infections.

A new strain of Pseudomonas sp. was isolated from mercury (Hg)-contaminated sites in Taiwan. This bacterium removed more than 80% of Hg present in the culture medium at 12 h incubation and was chosen for further analysis of the molecular mechanisms of Hg tolerance/removal abilities in this Pseudomonas sp. We used RNA-seq, one of the next-generation sequencing methods, to investigate the transcriptomic responses of the Pseudomonas sp. exposed to 60 mg/L of Hg²⁺. We de novo assembled 4,963 contigs, of which 10,533 up-regulated genes and 5,451 down-regulated genes were found to be regulated by Hg. The 40 genes most altered in expression levels were associated with tolerance to Hg stress and metabolism. Functional analysis showed that some Hg-tolerant genes were related to the mer operon, sulfate uptake and assimilation, the enzymatic antioxidant system, the HSP gene family, chaperones, and metal transporters. The transcriptome were analyzed further with Gene Ontology (GO) and Cluster of Orthologous Groups (COGs) of proteins and showed diverse biological functions and metabolic pathways under Hg stress.

Pseudomonas sp. K82 cultured in p-hydroxybenzoate induces protocatechuate 4,5-dioxygenase (PCD 4,5) for p-hydroxybenzoate degradation. In this study, a 6.0-kbp EcoR1 fragment containing p-hydroxybenzoate degradation genes was cloned from the genome of Pseudomonas sp. K82. Sequence analysis identified four genes, namely, pcaD, pcaA, pcaB, and pcaC genes known to be involved in p-hydroxybenzoate degradation. Two putative 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenases and one putative oxidoreductase were closely located by the p-hydroxybenzoate degradation genes. The gene arrangement and sequences of these p-hydroxybenzoate degradation genes were similar to those of Comamonas testosteroni and Pseudomonas ochraceae. PcaAB (PCD4,5) was overexpressed in the expression vector pGEX-4T-3, purified using a GST column, and confirmed to have protocatechuate 4,5-dioxygenase activity. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of overexpressed PCD4,5 were identical with those of purified PCD4,5 from Pseudomonas sp. K82.

Acetaminophen 자화성 Pseudomonas sp.에 존재하는 aryl acylamidase[EC 3.5.1.13]는 ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sephacel anion exchange chromatography, Phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B hydrophobic interaction chroamtography 및 Sephadex G-100 gel-permeation chromatography를 통해 순수 정제되었다. 정제된 효소는 SDS-PAGE상에서 분자량을 측정한 결과 56 kDa, Sephadex G-100 gel-permeation chromatography로 측정한 결과 57 kDa이었으며, 따라서 단일한 subunit로 구성된 효소이었다. 정제된 효소의 최대 활성을 위한 pH와 온도는 각각 pH 10.5와 4$0^{\circ}C$이였다. 5$0^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 처리시 34%의 잔존활성을 나타내었다. Acetaminophen과 4'-nitroacetanilide쉐 대한 Km값은 각각 0.10 mM과 0.11 mM 이었다.

A strain of Pseudomonas sp. isolated from soil was shown to produce a high level of extracellular endo-inulinase. In this work, the endo-inulinase gene (inu1) of the bacterial strain was cloned into the plasmid pBR322 by using EcoRI restriction endonuclease and E. coli HB101 as a host strain. One out of 7, 000 transformants obtained from the above cloning experiment formed a clear zone around its colony on the selective medium supplemented with 2.0% inulin after a prolonged incubation at 37$\circ$C and subsequent cold shock treatment. The functional clone was found to carry a recombinant plasmid (pKMG50) with a 3.7 kb genomic insert containing the genetic information for the inulinase activity. The inulinase from E. coli HB101/pKMG50 was proved to be an endo-acting enzyme and produced constitutively in the recombinant E. coli cells. Zymogram of the enzyme from the recombinant cells with inulin substrate indicated that the molecular mass of the active protein was 190 Kd, while that of the endo-inulinase from the Pseudomonas strain was 170 Kd. This size discrepancy suggested that the inulinase from the recombinant E. coli HB101 cells might be the initial product of translation, not the mature form produced in the strain of Pseudomonas sp..
