  • 摘要: 为探究荧光假单胞菌的强致腐和环境适应性,实验通过分析2株海水鱼源荧光假单胞菌的蛋白酶活性和挥发性盐基氮 (TVB-N)的形成,并采用比较基因组学方法解析致腐和适应机制。结果显示,荧光假单胞菌PF07和PF08在冷藏鱼汁中的蛋白酶活性强,积累较多TVB-N。经全基因组测序、组装和功能注释后,得到PF07基因组长度为6.13 Mb,GC含量61.4 %。通过泛基因组分析可知,PF07与PF08核心基因共4 980个,独特基因分别有516和470个。COG和KEGG注释显示2株致腐菌基因组中参与氨基酸代谢基因占比最高,PF07独特基因参与无机离子转运代谢居多。碳水化合物活性酶CAZy注释表明,2株荧光假单胞菌基因组中糖苷转移酶与糖苷水解酶基因均占比最高,还鉴定得到大量分解碳水化合物、蛋白质和脂质等多种底物的酶和相关蛋白基因,特别有碱性金属蛋白酶AprA、多胺ABC转运蛋白渗透酶PotC、精氨酸与鸟氨酸脱羧酶等多种降解蛋白酶。另外,2株致腐菌分布有rpoSrpoNrpoD多种σ因子。2株鱼源荧光假单胞菌表现出强的致腐性,研究通过比较基因组学方法解析荧光假单胞菌分布多种编码蛋白酶和腐胺形成的氨基酸代谢基因、分解糖原和脂肪的基因及环境适应调控因子。本研究从基因水平初步揭示了荧光假单胞菌强分解蛋白质等多种底物的分子基础,有助于深入探究该菌的代谢特征和致腐机制。

     

    Abstract: Pseudomonas spp. are specific spoilage bacteria of various fish from freshwater and marine during aerobic chilled storage. The behavior of psychrotrophic Pseudomonas is one of the common causes of quality deterioration in refrigerated fish products. P. fluorescens as a typical psychrotrophic spoilage bacterium, is main dominant spoilage Pseudomonas in aquatic product. Whole genome sequence analysis of genetic information is helpful to understand the molecular basis of spoilage, drug resistance and adaptation of foodborne spoilage bacteria. Currently, about 30 strains of P. fluorescens with complete genome map have been published in NCBI database, of which only an isolate P. fluorescens PF08 comes from Scophthalmus maximus. To explore the strong spoilage potential and environmental adaptability of P. fluorescens, the proteolytic activity and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) production of two isolates of P. fluorescens PF07 and PF08 from marine fish were measured and the mechanisms of spoilage and adaptation were explored deeply by comparative genomics. P. fluorescens PF07 and PF08 showed strong proteolytic activity and produced high TVB-N in refrigerated fish juice. After sequencing, assembly and functional annotation of whole genome, the length of the PF07 genomic was 6.13 Mb, and GC content was 61.4%. According to pan genome analysis, there were 4980 core genes in the two isolates, and 516 and 470 unique genes in PF07 and PF08, respectively. The highest proportion of genes was involved in amino acid metabolism both in the two isolates by COG and KEGG annotations, while the most unique genes belonged to inorganic ion transport and metabolism in PF07. Glycosyltransferases and glycoside hxydrolases genes accounted for the highest proportion among carbohydrate active enzyme in the two genomes based on CAZy annotation. In addition, many genes of enzymes and related protein associated with degrading various substrates of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids were founded, such as alkaline metalloproteinase AprA, polyamine ABC transporter permease PotC, arginine and ornithine decarboxylase, etc. Several genes of sigma factors, including rpoS, rpoN and rpoD, were also distributed in the two strains. Two P. fluorescens isolators indicated strong spoilage potential, and had many genes encoding protease and putrescine formation and amino acid metabolism, and decomposing glycogen and fat, were distributed in the two isolates, as well as environmental adaptation regulators. This work preliminarily clarified the molecular basis of P. fluorescens with strong degradation of fish nutrition substrates at the genetic level, and revealed the metabolic characteristics and spoilage mechanism in P. fluorescens, which will provide a theoretical basis for exploring the spoilage mechanism of Pseudomonas in aquatic fish.
