Spectroscopic study of extracellular polymeric substances from Bacillus subtilis: aqueous chemistry and adsorption effects

Biomacromolecules
Anselm Omoike, Jon Chorover

Abstract

Reactions at ionizable functional groups in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from Bacillus subtilis are found to affect aqueous phase conformation and adsorption to mineral surfaces. Characterization by HPSEC, XPS, and FTIR indicates a wide range in apparent molecular mass (0.57-128 kDa), with functional group composition depending on cell growth phase (exponential vs stationary) and location in suspension (free vs cell-bound). ATR-FTIR spectroscopy shows complexation and dissociation of protons on acidic functional groups that result in alpha-helical protein conformation at pH < 2.6 and random coil (unordered) conformation at higher pH (>6). EPS exhibit higher affinity for adsorption to alpha-FeOOH than amorphous SiO(2) because of surface charge effects. Increased amide II band intensity and an amide I band shift to higher frequency indicate changes in protein structure upon adsorption. Goethite-EPS spectra show emergent vibrations consistent with P-O-Fe bonding, which suggests a role of phosphodiester groups in the adsorption reaction.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
