Solute accumulation in the deep-sea bacterium Photobacterium profundum

Abstract

The identity and amounts of intracellular solutes in the deep-sea bacterium Photobacterium profundum strain SS9 were studied using nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. P. profundum strain SS9, a moderate piezophile which grows optimally at 20-30 MPa primarily accumulated glutamate and betaine, with lesser amounts of alanine, beta-hydroxybutyrate (beta-HB) and oligomers composed of the beta-HB units when grown at 0.1 MPa to early stationary phase. When grown at the optimal pressure, the cells preferentially increased intracellular concentrations of beta-HB and beta-HB oligomers, while the amino acid pools remained relatively constant. Since the organic solutes increased with increasing external NaCl in the medium, they are functioning as osmolytes. The beta-HB molecules represent a novel class of osmolytes, termed 'piezolytes,' whose cellular levels responded to hydrostatic pressure as well as osmotic pressure. Factors such as cell growth stage and temperature were also examined for their effect on the solute distribution in these cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
