Membrane vesicles: a common feature in the extracellular matter of cold-adapted antarctic bacteria.

Microbial Ecology

Abstract

Many Gram-negative, cold-adapted bacteria from the Antarctic environment produce large amounts of extracellular matter, which has potential biotechnology applications. We examined the ultrastructure of extracellular matter from five Antarctic bacteria (Shewanella livingstonensis NF22(T), Shewanella vesiculosa M7(T), Pseudoalteromonas sp. M4.2, Psychrobacter fozii NF23(T), and Marinobacter guineae M3B(T)) by transmission electron microscopy after high-pressure freezing and freeze substitution. All analyzed extracellular matter appeared as a netlike mesh composed of a capsular polymer around cells and large numbers of membrane vesicles (MVs), which have not yet been described for members of the genera Psychrobacter and Marinobacter. MVs showed the typical characteristics described for these structures, and seemed to be surrounded by the same capsular polymer as that found around the cells. The analysis of MV proteins from Antarctic strains by SDS-PAGE showed different banding profiles in MVs compared to the outer membrane, suggesting some kind of protein sorting during membrane vesicle formation. For the psychrotolerant bacterium, S. livingstonensis NF22(T), the growth temperature seemed to influence the amount and morphology of ...Continue Reading
