Lipid A fractions from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas alcaligenes have similar compositions and structural features. By means of hydrazinolysis of the parent lipopolysaccharides and partial hydrolysis of the deacylation products, it was established that both lipids are derived from the β-(1→6)-linked disaccharide of glucosamine. Phosphorylated derivatives of the disaccharide from Ps. aeruginosa were also characterized. The lipids differ mainly in the absence of hexadecanoic acid and 2-hydroxydodecanoic acid from the lipid from Ps. alcaligenes. Evidence that in Ps. aeruginosa these acids are ester-linked to residues of 3-hydroxyalkanoic acids (including 3-hydroxydecanoic acid) was obtained. Heterogeneity of lipid A fractions was indicated by t.l.c., and by gel filtration of de-O-acylation products from mild alkaline methanolysis of the lipids.

Studies of the lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas alcaligenes strain BR 1/2 were extended to the polysaccharide moiety. The crude polysaccharide, obtained by mild acid hydrolysis of the lipopolysaccharide, was fractionated by gel filtration. The major fraction was the phosphorylated polysaccharide, for which the approximate proportions of residues were; glucose (2), rhamnose (0.7), heptose (2–3), galactosamine (1), alanine (1), 3-deoxy-2-octulonic acid (1), phosphorus (5–6). The heptose was l-glycero-d-manno-heptose. The minor fractions from gel filtration contained free 3-deoxy-2-octulonic acid, Pi and PPi. The purified polysaccharide was studied by periodate oxidation, methylation analysis, partial hydrolysis, and dephosphorylation. All the rhamnose and part of the glucose and heptose occur as non-reducing terminal residues. Other glucose residues are 3-substituted, and most heptose residues are esterified with condensed phosphate residues, possibly in the C-4 position. Free heptose and a heptosylglucose were isolated from a partial hydrolysate of the polysaccharide. The location of galactosamine in the polysaccharide was not established, but either the C-3 or C-4 position appears to be substituted and a linkage to alanine was indicated. In its composition, the polysaccharide from Ps. alcaligenes resembles core polysaccharides from other pseudomonads: no possible side-chain polysaccharide was detected.

Benzylidenation of D-arabinose diethyl and dipropyl dithioacetals with α,α-dimethoxytoluene in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid has been studied in detail. Under kinetic control the two terminal dioxolan -type 4,5-O-(R)- and 4,5-O-(S)-benzylidene diastereomers are formed first which are in equilibrium with each other In the thermodynamic phase of the reaction the corresponding dioxan -type 3,5-O-(R)- benzylidene isomer is formed too, but all three monobenzylidene isomers are gradually converted into the four possible dioxolan -type 2,3 : 4,5-di-O benzylidene diastereomers . The dioxan -type 2,4:3,5-di-O-benzylidene isomer was present only in trace amounts. When benzaldehyde was used as reagent in the presence of hydrochloric acid or zinc chloride only the 2,3: 4,5-di-O-benzylidene diastereomers were formed. Partial hydrolysis of the dibenzylidene derivatives yielded the corresponding 2,3-O-benzylidene diastereomers. Structures, including the chirality of the benzylidene groups, were determined by n.m.r. spectroscopy. A mechanism suggested for the reaction was partially supported by equilibration studies.

Depending on the conditions of hydrolysis, vicinal aromatic dicyano derivatives Ia-Ic gave anhydrides IIa-IIe and imides of 4-aryl-1-alkoxynaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylic acids, IIIa,b, along with products of partial hydrolysis, decarboxylation and demethylation, IVa-IVd, IVf-IVg, and derivatives of benzo(c)fluorene, Va-Vc. The derivatives Va-Vc were also obtained by acid hydrolysis of dicyano derivatives Id-Ig. Methanolysis of the anhydride IId gave a mixture of positional isomers, IVh, which was esterified to the diester IVe. Intramolecular ring closure of the isomers IVh afforded derivatives of benzo(c)fluorene, VIa-VIb. The structures of the selected compounds were corroborated by IR and 1H NMR spectra. The compounds Va-Vc exhibited antiviral effects and interferonogenic activities in vivo.

Partial hydrolysis of per-O-acetyl- and per-O-benzoyl derivatives of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose with methanolic hydrogen chloride and hydrazine hydrate was investigated. The acyl group at C(3) is of substantial influence on the course of hydrolysis. The esterified hydroxyl group at C(3) was found to be most stable on acid hydrolysis with methanolic hydrogen chloride when compared with that at C(2), or C(4); on the other hand, this ester group is the most labile upon hydrolysis with hydrazine hydrate. Selectivity of the respective ester groups towards hydrolysis made it possible to prepare all variations of acetyl and benzoyl derivatives of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose.

The two exocellular polysaccharides of Candida bogoriensis contain D-mannose, D-fucose, L-rhamnose, D-glucuronic acid, and D-galactose residues. The main heteropolymer (> 80%) has an α-D-(1 → 3)-linked mannan main-chain as shown by successive Smith degradations. Partial hydrolysis of the heteropolymers provided several methylpentose-containing oligosaccharide fragments corresponding to possible side-chain components.

Abstract Background Recently, we described a collection of ST298 Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) isolates that caused a prolonged epidemic of XDR infections. Many of these contain derivatives of a new plasmid, pPABL048, that harbors an MDR integron, in1697. In1697 contains a series of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, one of which is the class D β-lactamase blaOXA-10. Variants of blaOXA-10 have been described that confer both extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase activity. Methods Of all ST298 isolates, three were resistant to ceftazidime (CTZ). Genomic comparison of in1697 in CTZ-resistant and CTZ-sensitive strains revealed that all three strains harbored a blaOXA-10 allele with two single nucleotide variations resulting in amino acid changes at positions 153 (F153S) and 157 (G157D). Using the NCBI database, we identified this allele as unique and defined this β-lactamase as OXA-935. OXA-935 shares the G157D variation with OXA-14 which is known to confer resistance to ceftazidime. We sought to characterize the function of OXA-935 and to determine the crystal structures of OXA-14 and OXA-935. Results Deletion of blaOXA-935 phenotypically converted all three strains to CTZ-susceptible. Expression of blaOXA-14 and blaOXA-935 conferred CTZ-resistance to laboratory PA strains PA01 and PA14. Determination of the crystal structures of OXA-14 (PDB code 7L5R) and OXA-935 (PDB code 7L5V) revealed that the F153S variant resulted in increased flexibility in the enzyme’s Ω loop. Conformational changes in the Ω loop likely contributed to the lack of carbamylation at lysine-70 (K70) observed in OXA-935. Carbamylation of K70 is known to be critical for enzymatic activity of class D β-lactamases. Conclusion OXA-935 is very similar to OXA-14; however, comparison revealed that the F153S variant has unique structural features and is functionally distinct. Despite these differences, both enzymes confer high-level CTZ resistance. As we increasingly rely on β-lactam antimicrobial therapy (e.g. ceftazidime, cefepime) and combination (e.g. ceftazidime-avibactam) therapy to treat MDR PA infections, it is critical that we continue to explore the mechanistic basis of β-lactam AMR in an effort to preserve existing treatments and design novel ones.

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) prepared from Escherichiacoli 086:Kneg., in 5.5% yield contained D-galactose, D-glucose, L-fucose, L-glycero-D-manno-heptose, D-glucosamine, D-galactosamine, 2-keto-3-deoxy-octulosonic acid (KDO) and lipid A. The molecule appeared to be homogeneous as tested by free boundary electrophoresis, ultracentrifugation, and immunodiffusion against ′O′ specific E. coli antiserum. Methylation studies of the LPS and also of the degraded polysaccharides obtained by partial acid hydrolysis showed that the molecule was highly branched. Sixty percent of the D-galactose units were non-reducing terminal groups, the remainder were linked (1 → 3) and (1 → 2) and 3-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-D-galactose was identified as a product of mild acid hydrolysis of the parent LPS. Fucose occurred in the polysaccharide as (1 → 4) linked units. Methylation results showed that the D-glucose units were linked (1 → 3) and (1 → 4). Partial acid hydrolysis yielded cellobiose, cellotriose, and laminaribiose, showing that the glucose units formed a glucan chain within the polysaccharide and that the glucosidic linkages were in the β-D-configuration. Approximately one half of the L-glycero-D-manno-heptose units occurred as non-reducing end groups, the other half were linked at C-3 and either one of C-6 or C-7. One half of the D-galactosamine units was linked (1 → 3) with the remainder occurring as double branch points. D-Glucosamine residues occurred exclusively in the lipid A moiety in a (1 → 4) linked core structure.

AbstractSynthetic 2-line and 6-line ferrihydrite and feroxyhite samples prepared from ferric salt solutions have been investigated by EXAFS spectroscopy. All these materials have been found to be short-range ordered, consisting of Fe octahedra linked by comers, edges, and faces. Their local structures are related to those of well-crystallized (oxyhydr)oxides, and the absence of hkl reflections in some samples is attributed to the small size of coherent scattering domains. The presence of face sharings indicates that these materials have structural similarities with hematite. Based on Fe-Fe distances and the analysis of the static disorder, it has been concluded that the local structure of feroxyhite is close to that of hematite, whereas ferrihydrite has common structural features with both hematite (αFe203) and cdβFeOOFI. The local structure of ferrihydrite thus differs from that of aqueous Fe polymers obtained by the partial hydrolysis of ferric nitrate and chloride solutions. Differences of local structures among hydrous Fe oxides and aqueous polymers have been interpreted on the basis of a room temperature stability phase diagram established for well-crystallized (oxyhydr)oxides.

ABSTRACTHbzF fromPseudomonas alcaligenesNCIMB 9867 was purified to homogeneity as a His-tagged protein and likely a dimer by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration. This protein was demonstrated to be a novel maleylpyruvate hydrolase, catalyzing direct hydrolysis of maleylpyruvate to maleate and pyruvate, and belongs to the fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase superfamily. This study reveals the genetic determinate for the direct maleylpyruvate hydrolysis in the gentisate pathway, complementary to the well-studied maleylpyruvate isomerization route.
