Sumario: | Pseudomonas putida (P. putida) MnB1 is a widely used model strain in environment science and technology for determining microbial manganese oxidation. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the growth and metabolism of P. putida MnB1 are influenced by various environmental factors. In this study, we investigated the effects of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and manganese (Mn(2+)) on proliferation, Mn(2+) acquisition, anti-oxidative system, and biofilm formation of P. putida MnB1. The related orthologs of 4 genes, mco, mntABC, sod, and bifA, were amplified from P. putida GB1 and their involvement were assayed, respectively. We found that P. putida MnB1 degraded H(2)O(2), and quickly recovered for proliferation, but its intracellular oxidative stress state was maintained, with rapid biofilm formation after H(2)O(2) depletion. The data from mco, mntABC, sod and bifA expression levels by qRT-PCR, elucidated a sensitivity toward bifA-mediated biofilm formation, in contrary to intracellular anti-oxidative system under H(2)O(2) exposure. Meanwhile, Mn(2+) ion supply inhibited biofilm formation of P. putida MnB1. The expression pattern of these genes showed that Mn(2+) ion supply likely functioned to modulate biofilm formation rather than only acting as nutrient substrate for P. putida MnB1. Furthermore, blockade of BifA activity by GTP increased the formation and development of biofilms during H(2)O(2) exposure, while converse response to Mn(2+) ion supply was evident. These distinct cellular responses to H(2)O(2) and Mn(2+) provide insights on the common mechanism by which environmental microorganisms may be protected from exogenous factors. We postulate that BifA-mediated biofilm formation but not intracellular anti-oxidative system may be a primary protective strategy adopted by P. putida MnB1. These findings will highlight the understanding of microbial adaptation mechanisms to distinct environmental stresses. |
