Pseudomonas sp. S-47은 xylXYZLTE 유전자에 의하여 암호화되는 효소군에 의하여 4CBA를 분해하여 5-chloro-2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde(5C-2HMS)를 생성하는데, 본 연구에서는 이 5C-2HMS의 다음 분해과정을 확인하였다. xylXYZLTE 유전자와 5-chloro-2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde dehydrogenase(5C-2HMSD)를 암호화하고 xylG 유전자를 포함하는 재조합 균주인 pCSS202로부터, xylG 유전자를 포함하는 재조합 플라스미드 pENV5를 만들었다. 이 플라스미드는 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde, 3-chloro-muconate, 2-hydroxy-6-oxohepta-2,4-dienoate, 2-hydroxy-5-methylmuconic semialdehyde와 같은 aromatic compound 에서 분해능을 나타냈으며, 그 중 5C-2HMS에서 가장 높은 분해능을 나타내었다. 또한 5C-2HMSD를 암호화하는 유전자인 xylC의 염기서열을 분석한 결과, 약 1,600 bp의 염기와 486개의 amino acid residue를 갖고있는 것을 확인하였다. P. sp. S-47의 xylG 유전자를 비교 분석한 결과 P. putida CF600, P. putida G7과 P. putida mt-2 등의 5C-2HMS dehydro-genase와 85％ 이상의 amino acid homology를 보여주었다.

Previously, Pseudomonas plecoglossicida YJR13 and Pseudomonas putida YJR92 from a sequential screening procedure were proven to effectively control Phytophthora blight caused by Phytophthora capsici. In this study, we further investigated the anti-oomycete activities of these strains against mycelial growth, zoospore germination, and germ tube elongation of P. capsici. We also investigated root colonization ability of the bacterial strains in square dishes, including cell motility (swimming and swarming motilities) and biofilm formation. Both strains significantly inhibited mycelial growth in liquid and solid V8 juice media and M9 minimal media, zoospore germination, and germ tube elongation compared with Bacillus vallismortis EXTN-1 (positive biocontrol strain), Sphingomonas aquatilis KU408 (negative biocontrol strain), and MgSO₄ solution (untreated control). In diluted (nutrient-deficient) V₈ juice broth, the tested strain populations were maintained at >10⁸ cells/ml, simultaneously providing mycelial inhibitory activity. Additionally, these strains colonized pepper roots at a 10⁶ cells/ml concentration for 7 days. The root colonization of the strains was supported by strong swimming and swarming activities, biofilm formation, and chemotactic activity towards exudate components (amino acids, organic acids, and sugars) of pepper roots. Collectively, these results suggest that strains YJR13 and YJR92 can effectively suppress Phytophthora blight of pepper through direct anti-oomycete activities against mycelial growth, zoospore germination and germ tube elongation. Bacterial colonization of pepper roots may be mediated by cell motility and biofilm formation together with chemotaxis to root exudates.

Pseudomonas putida BM01 was grown efficiently on glucose as the sole carbon source with a supply of a nitrogen source in pH-stat mode using a low setpoint limit. A final cell concentration of 100 g/l was obtained in 30 h of fed-batch cultivation by controlling glucose concentration within the range of 5-20 g/l and maintaining dissolved oxygen tension above 10$%$ saturation using pure oxygen. This high cell density culture technique is believed highly useful for the production of poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) by this strain.

Methylcatechol 2, 3-dioxygenase encoded in pWWO megaplasmid of Pseudomonas putida mt-2 has been cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. This enzyme gene has been localized inside 2. 3-kb XhoI fragment derived from the pWWO megaplasmid. Analysis of enzyme activity and SDS-PAGE showed that the cloned methylcatechol 2, 3-dioxygenase gene in E. coli was about 100 fold overexpressed compared with the parental gene in P. putida mt-2 (pWWO). The cloned enzyme exhibited higher ring-fission activity to catechol than catechol derivatives including 3-methylcatechol, 4-methylcatechol, and 4-chlorocatechol.

경제성과 항균력을 갖춘 미강단백질 필름을 개발하기위한 연구의 일환으로 미강배지에서 bacteriocin을 생성할 수 있는 균주를 선별하고 그 특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 9027에 대한 항균효과를 지닌 Pseudomonas putida 21025를 선별하였으며, 이 균이 생성한 bacteriocin은 쌀에 존재하는 미생물 및 토양미생물에 대하여 넓은 항균활성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 지금까지 이용되고 있는 미강단백질 추출 조건에 대한 적합성을 알아보기 위해 bacteriocin의 특성을 조사하였다. Pseudomonas putidia 21025에서 생성되는 bacteriocin은 $50^{\circ}C$이상에서는 한 시간 후 활성이 저하되었으며, 헥산과 에탄올을 제외한 메탄올, 톨루엔, 클로로포름, 아세톤, 메틸 를로로포름등의 유기용매에서 활성이 현저하게 저하되었다. 그러나, 이 bacteriocin은 pH 6.0-9.0에서 2시간동안 안정하였고, $50^{\circ}C$이하에서 안정하였으며, 에탄올에 대하여 3시간동안 안정한 특성을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 부분정제한 bacteriocin의 분자량은 약 21.6 kDa로 비교적 작은 분자량을 나타내었다.

A Pseudomonas putida strain able to accumulate high amount of polyesters of medium-chain-length 3-hydroxyalkanoic acids ($PHA_{MCL)$) was isolated from soil in a landfill site using an enrichment technique. Culture condition of the isolated strain for polyester production in a one-step culture was optimized in a mineral-salts medium against pH and concentrations of ammonium sulfate, carbon source(e.g., octanoate), and phosphate. The optimal values for maximal cell growth and PHA accumulation were: pH; 7$\sim$8, $(NH_4)_2SO_4$; 8 mM, octanoate; 40 mM. The optimum temperature was in the range of $20\sim30^{\circ}C$, which was rather broader than in other bacteria. Cell growth was strongly inhibited by the phosphate limitation to less than 1 mM. An increase of phosphate concentration above 1 mM showed little effect on cell growth and polyester accumulation. When the strain was grown on octanoate under this optimized condition it produced 3.4 g dry biomass per liter and yielded 1.7 g PHA per liter amounting to 53 wt% of dry cells. The monomer units composing the polyester synthesized from octanoate were 3-hydroxyoctanoate (3HO), 3-hydroxycaproate (3HC), and 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) (85:13:2, mole ratio). Other low linear $C_3\simC_{10}$ monocarboxylic acids were also tested for polyester production.

Flavodoxin (Fld) has been demonstrated to bind to ferredoxin-NADP$^+$ reductase A (FprA) in Pseudomonas putida. Two residues ($Phe^{256}$, $Lys^{259}$) of FprA are likely to be important for interacting with Fld based on homology modeling. Site-directed mutagenesis and pH-dependent enzyme kinetics were performed to further examine the role of these residues. The catalytic efficiencies of FprA-$Ala^{259}$ and FprA-$Asp^{259}$ proteins were two-fold lower than those of the wild-type FprA. Homology modeling also strongly suggested that these two residues are important for electron transfer. Thermodynamic properties such as entropy, enthalpy, and heat capacity changes of FprA-$Ala^{259}$ and FprA-$Asp^{259}$ were examined by isothermal titration calorimetry. We demonstrated, for the first time, that $Phe^{256}$ and $Lys^{259}$ are critical residues for the interaction between FprA and Fld. Van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonding were also more important than ionic interactions for forming the FprA-Fld complex.

The induction of growth promotion on numerous crops by rhizobacteria is a well documented phenomenon. In case of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), fruit yield is higher in replant soil than that in fresh soil. To investigate what kind of rhizobacterium is involved, microbial community in rhizosphere and on rhizoplane of tomato plants from each soil was analyzed by dilution plating on selective media. Many Gram-negative bacteria and actinomycetes were isolated from tomato in replant soil. One Gram-negative rhizobacterium isolated was identified as Pseudomonas putida based on its biochemical characteristics, fatty acid methyl ester analysis and 16S rDNA sequence. This bacterium designated strain 17 inhibited the growth of Pseudomonas corrugata, and increased growth of tomato seedlings. In addition, its culture filtrate inhibited conidial germination of plant-pathogenic fungi such as Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici, F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum, and Nectria radicicola. Scanning electron microscopy revealed strain 17 colonized and persisted on the epidermal surfaces of tomato radicles and roots. These results suggest that P. putida strain 17 may serve as a biological control agent to suppress multiple soil-borne diseases for tomato plants. Increased microbial populations that suppress deleterious microorganisms including pathogens could be one of the major factors in increased tomato yield in replant soil.

A 6.1 kb Sph I fragment from the genomic DNA of Pseudomonas putida SM 25 was cloned into the veetor pUC19. The open reading frame of catB was found to consist of 1,122 nucleotides. The sequence alignment of the catB gene products from different kinds of bacteria revealed an overall identity ranging from 40 to 98%. The catC gene contained an open reading frame of 96 codons, from which a protein with a molecular mass of about 10.6 kDa was predicted. The amino acids in the proposed activesite region of CatC were found to be almost conserved, including the charged residues. Since the catBC genes in P. putida SM25 were tightly linked, the could be regulated under coordinate transcription, and transcribed from a single promoter located upstream of the catB gene, as in P. putida RBI.

The promoter region of a carbon starvation gene isolated from Pseudomonas putida was cloned and analyzed for its potential use for in situ bioremediation and bioprocessing. We constructed a recombinant plasmid pMKD101 by cloning the 0.65 kb promoter region of the gene into the promoter proving vector, pMK301, which contains the lacZ for ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity as a reporter gene. pMKD101 was transformed into the wild-type P. putida MK1, resulting in P. putida RPD101, and analyzed for ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity under different culture conditions. When RPD101 was grown on the minimal medium plus $0.1\%$ glucose as a sole carbon source in batch cultures, ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity was found to be 3.2-fold higher during the stationary phase than during the exponential phase. In chemostat cultures, ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity was found to be 3.1-fold higher at the minimal growth rate (dilution rate=$0.05\;h^{-1}$) than at the maximal growth rate (dilution rate=$0.173;h^{-1}$). The results suggest that a carbon starvation promoter can be utilized to maximize the expression of a desired gene under nutrient limitation.
