kn-abstract= Acid mine drainage (AMD) is acidic and generally enriched with iron, aluminum, sulfate and heavy metals, such as lead and cadmium. AMD is a growing problem of emerging concern that cause detrimental effects to the environment and living organisms. Yanahara mine in Misaki Town, Okayama, Japan, had mainly produced pyrite for sulfuric acid manufacture. Although it was closed in 1991, AMD is being generated from the mine now. A passive treatment based on the biological oxidation of ferrous iron is a promising strategy for AMD remediation. AMD from Yanahara mine is treated in a plant using iron-oxidizing bacteria, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Ferrovum spp. The AMD generation continues for several centuries with dramatic consequences on the receiving environments. Therefore, the development of sustainable and cost effective treatment process is required. A development of the effective biological treatment process with an iron oxidation reactor operated at pH 3.5 is described in this report. Economic aspects are also discussed.

kn-abstract=　Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is one of the most widely used microorganisms in bioleaching operations to recover copper from low-grade copper sulfide. This bacterium uses ferrous iron and reduced inorganic sulfur compounds (RISCs) as energy sources. Transcriptions of genes thought to be involved in the oxidation of RISCs have been known to be highly activated in A. ferrooxidans cells grown on RISCs, while transcriptions of genes involved in the iron oxidation were repressed in the cells grown on
RISCs. A gene encoding a putative chromosome segregation and condensation protein (ScpB) with a
helix-turn-helix motif was found in the upstream region of sulfide : quinone oxidoreductase gene, whose expression was up-regulated in cells grown in sulfur and tetrathionate. A semi-quantitative PCR analysis using cDNA prepared from iron-, sulfur-, or tetrathionate-grown cells revealed that the transcription of scpB was up-regulated in cells grown on sulfur or tetrathionate as the energy source. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays were employed to examine whether the ScpB functions as a transcription factor. The result indicated that the recombinant His-tagged ScpB protein was able to nonspecifically bind in
vitro to DNA. This is the first report on a direct association of ScpB with DNA.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=An OmpA family protein (FopA) previously reported as one of the major outer membrane proteins of an acidophilic iron-oxidizing bacterium Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was characterized with emphasis on the modification by heat and the interaction with peptidoglycan. A 30-kDa band corresponding to the FopA protein was detected in outer membrane proteins extracted at 75A degrees C or heated to 100A degrees C for 10 min prior to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). However, the band was not detected in outer membrane proteins extracted at a parts per thousand currency sign40A degrees C and without boiling prior to electrophoresis. By Western blot analysis using the polyclonal antibody against the recombinant FopA, FopA was detected as bands with apparent molecular masses of 30 and 90 kDa, suggesting that FopA existed as an oligomeric form in the outer membrane of A. ferrooxidans. Although the fopA gene with a sequence encoding the signal peptide was successfully expressed in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli, the recombinant FopA existed as a monomer in the outer membrane of E. coli. FopA was detected in peptidoglycan-associated proteins from A. ferrooxidans. The recombinant FopA also showed the peptidoglycan-binding activity.

en-abstract=鉄酸化酵素と硫化水素酸化酵素の両方が硫化鉱石からの金属イオンのバクテリアリーチングに関与していること、銅鉱石から溶出する銅イオンの量が鉄酸化細菌の菌株間で異なることが知られている。鉄酸化酵素及び硫化水素酸化酵素活性が自然環境から単離した鉄酸化細菌に対して決定された。200株の鉄酸化細菌の鉄酸化酵素及び硫化水素酸化酵素活性は、それぞれ、1.20-1.65γmol/mg/min及び0.11-2.80γmol/mg/minの範囲にあった。これら菌株間において、鉄酸化酵素ではなく硫化水素酸化酵素活性に大きく違いがあるという発見は、前者ではなく後者がこの細菌のバクテリアリーチング活性を決定する酵素であることを示唆している。
kn-abstract=It has been reported that both iron oxidase and hydrogen sulfide: ferric ion oxidoreductase (SFORase) were involved in bacterial leaching of metal ions from sulfide ores, and the amount of Cu2+ solubilized from copper ore by iron-oxidizing bacterium differed from strain. The activities of iron oxidase SFORase of iron-oxidizing bacteria isolated from the natural environments were determined. Iron-oxidizing activity and SFORase activity of 200 strains ranged from 1.20-1.65γmol/mg/min and from 0.11-2.80 γmol/mg/min, respectively. The findings that a remarkable difference was observed in the levels of SFORase activity, but not in iron-oxidizing activity, suggest that SFORase, but not iron oxidase, is the enzyme that determines the bacterial leaching activity of this bacterium.

en-abstract=細菌は、外界の刺激に応答する機構を備えており、既に温度変化、浸透圧変化、放射線などの物理的刺激に応答した遺伝子発現調節機構が分子レベルで明らかにされている。深海から分離した耐圧性菌の耐圧機構を明らかにするため、細胞膜の脂肪酸組成と圧力の関係を検討した結果、加圧下で特異的な不飽和脂肪酸を増加させていることが明らかとなった。また、加圧下で培養した耐圧性細菌の細胞膜の酵素活性が大気圧下で培養したものよりも耐圧性になっていることを明らかにした。筆者らの単離した耐圧性菌の高圧下での特異的な脂肪酸の増加は、RNA合成阻害剤によって阻害されることから、細胞が圧力という刺激を感知し、その情報によって特異的な遺伝子の発現が引き起こされているものと推測された。この応答機構の分子的レベルでの解析によって、細菌の高圧環境への適応機構を明らかにする糸口が得られることが期待される。高圧環境下で細菌が生息するためには、細胞膜の機能だけでなくさまざまな酵素タンパク質や高分子合成系等の生化学的機能が、高圧環境下でも維持されていることが必要である。各種酵素タンパク質やタンパク質合成系の耐圧機構に関しては十分な生化学的解析がなされているとは言い難く、今後の研究課題として残されている。著者らは、加圧下での驚異的な脂肪酸の増加に、圧力に関連した遺伝子の発現が関与していることを示唆したが、既に加圧下で特異的に発現する遺伝子の存在が報告され、加圧下で特異的に発現する遺伝子が分離されている。また、圧力によって制御されるプロモーター部位も同定されている。圧力は、我々陸上環境に適応した生物にはなじみづらいが、海洋では極めて普遍的な物理的因子であり、その物理的因子を細菌がどのように認識し適応しているかを分子レベルで知ることは、海洋微生物資源の有効利用を図るときに非常に重要であると考えられる。今後、耐圧性細菌や好圧性細菌の加圧下における生理・生化学的な研究の進展によって、耐圧機構が分子レベルで明らかにされることが期待される。
kn-abstract=The world's oceans cover 70% of the eath's surface,with about 3,800m of average depth.Altough　the deep-sea environment with its high pressure and low temperatures is too extreme for most terrestrial and marine surface microorganisms,many barotolerant and barophilic bacteria have been found inhabiting the deep-sea.It is exyremely important for barophilic or barotolerand deep-sea bacteria to maintain the physiological functions of cytoplasmic membrane,which serves many vital functions.The fluidity of this cytoplasimic membrane composed of phospholipids and poteins is essential for the physiological functions of cells.As higher hydorstatic pressure raise the melting point of lipids and cause phase transition
of lipid under pressurs of up to 100MPa,barotolerant and barophilic bacrteria under high hydostatic pressure appear to regulate the composition of their membrane phospholipids. Therfore the characrization of cytoplasmic membrane under high pressure is indispensable to clarify the mecanisms of bacteria adaptation to the deep-sea enviroment.The effects of pressure and temperature acid compositon of barotolerant deep-sea bacteria were investigated.Deep-sea bacteria maintained their membrane fluidity by increasing the content of unique fatty acid in phospholipids under high hydrostatic pressure.Gene expression seems to be necessary for the synthesis of unique fatty under high hydrostatic pressure.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=硫黄で増殖したAcidithiobacilluscaldusGO-1株の休止菌体を用いて，還元型硫黄化合物の酸化機構を検討した．GO-１株は，チオ硫酸，テトラチオン酸，元素硫黄，亜硫酸及び硫化物の酸化活性を持っており，その最適pHは，それぞれ２，３，３-６，７及び７であった．これらの酸化活性の中で，亜硫酸の酸化速度が最も高かった．阻害剤やアンカップラーを用いて，還元型硫黄化合物の酸化への影響を調べた結果，DNPとCCCPによる元素硫黄及び亜硫酸酸化活性の強い阻害，NEMによるテトラチオン酸及び硫黄酸化活性の強い阻害，およびHQNOによる元素硫黄及び亜硫酸酸化活性の阻害が観察された．これらの結果は，テトラチオン酸がペリプラズマで，硫黄及び亜流酸が細胞質で，それぞれ酸化されることを示唆した．細胞膜からピリジンフェロヘモクロームを調製して，シトクロームの構成成分を検討した結果，ヘムb及びcが検出された．また，末端酸化酵素の活性を検討した結果，ユビキノール酸化酵素の活性は検出されたが，哺乳類のシトクロームを用いて測定したシトクロームc酸化酵素の活性は検出されなかった．これらの結果に基づいて，At.caldusGO-１株の還元型硫黄化合物の酸化機構を考察した．
kn-abstract=The oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds was studied by using resting cells of sulfur-grown Acidithiobacillus caldus strain GO-1. The optimum pHs for the oxidation of thiosulfate, tetrathionate, sulfur, sulfite and sulfide were 2, 3, 3-6, 7 and 7, respectively. The highest oxidation rate was observed with sulfite. The oxidation rates of the reduced sulfur compounds were measured in the absence or presence of inhibitors and uncouplers. 2, 4-dinitrophenol (DNP) and carbonyl cyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) strongly inhibited the oxidations of sulfur and sulfite. N-Ethylmaleimide (NEM) strongly inhibited the oxidation of tetrathionate and sulfur. 2-heptyl-4-hydroxy-quinoline-N-oxide(HQNO) inhibited the oxidation of sulfur and sulfite. The results suggested that tetrathionate was oxidized in the periplasmic space, and sulfur and sulfite were oxidized in the cytoplasm. Pyridine ferrohemochromes prepared from the membrane of strain GO-1 cell revealed the involvement of cytochromes b and c. Ubiquinol oxidase activity was detected in strain GO-1 cell, but cytochrome c oxidase measured by using mammalian cytochrome c as an electron donor was not detected in the cell. On the basis of the results a model for the metabolism of the reduced sulfur compounds by At. caldus strain GO-1 was proposed.

en-abstract=Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans，A.thiooxidansおよびA.caldusの16S-23S rDNAスペーサー領域の塩基配列を決定し，これらのバクテリアの識別・同定への有効性を評価した．A.ferrooxidans，A.thiooxidansおよびA.caldusのスペーサー領域の長さは，それぞれ441，456および379bpであった．３種のAcidithiobacillusスペーサー領域では，tRNA，tRNAをコードする遺伝子の塩基配列が高度に保存されていた．PCR増幅した16S-23S rDNAスペーサー領域をHaeおよびAluで酵素処理することによって得られた断片の解析によって，A.ferrooxidansをA.thiooxidansとA.caldusから識別できた．Acidithiobacillus種の16S-23S rDNAスペーサー領域の制限断片長多型解析は，Acidithiobacillus属の種の同定およびA.ferrooxidansに属する株の同定のための迅速で，技術的に簡便な方法であることが明らかとなった．
kn-abstract=The PCR-amplified 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer regions (ISRs)   of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, A. thiooxidans, and A. caldus strains were scquenced and evaluated for differentiation  and identification of these bacteria. The total length of the 16S-23S ISRs of A. ferrooxidans and A. thiooxidans strains and A.caldus GO-1 were 441, 456, nd 379bp, respectively. Two genes. encoding tRNA and tRNA, and the box A-like sequences were highly conserved in the ISRs of all Acidithiobacillus species. The restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) profiles of the PCR-amplified 16S-23S rDNA ISRs digested by HaeIII and AluI could clearly discriminate A. ferrooxidans from A. thiooxidans and A. caldus. The results indicated that RFLP analysis of the 16S-23S ISRs  is an easy and rapid method for discrimination and identification of Acidithiobacillus species.
