Abstract
Serratia spp are gram-negative bacteria, classified in the large family of Enterobacteriaceae. Serratia are opportunistic human, plant and insect pathogens and have been isolated from soil, water, air, foodstuff, plant surface and animals. Another characteristic feature of Serratia is the production of cell associated red color pigment called prodigiosin.
Prodigiosin, a non-diffusible red pigment, is a secondary metabolite formed by the enzymatic condensation of 2-methyl-3-amylpyrrole and 4-methoxy-2,2`-bipyrrole-5-carboxyaldehyde, leading to a tripyrrole derivative, 2-methyl-3-amyl-6-methoxyprodigiosene. The pigment has no defined role in the physiology of producing strains, but have been reported to have antifungal, antibacterial, algicidal, antiprotozoal, antimalarial activities, immunosuppressive and anticancer activities.
In this study, a bacterial strain PDGS120915 producing a red pigment was isolated from slightly contaminated stream water in Busan, Korea. It was identified as a strain of Serratia sp. based on 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis and physiological characteristics. The prodigiosin was extracted directly using acidified ethanol and characterized. The optimal conditions for pigment production was 25℃, pH 7 and 0% NaCl concentration for 14 h. Also the treatment of carbon source and nitrogen sources such as fructose and beef extract showed increased prodigiosin production. In case of mixed all them, prodigiosin production yield was increased over 5-folds compared with wild type. The purified prodigiosin showed antimicrobial activities against intestinal pathogens such as Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and also inhibited for growth of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Furthermore, purified prodigiosin have synergistic activity with aminoglycoside (amikacin, tobramycin) against intestinal pathogens and with β-lactam antibiotics (ampicillin, penicillin) against MRSA. The purified prodigiosin showed algicidal activity against dinophyceae, Alexandrium catenella, Gymnodinium impudicum and Cochlodinium polykrikoides. In addition, it showed a broad range of algicidal activities against raphidophyceae (Chattonella marina, Heterosigma akashiwo), coscinodiscophyceae (Skeletonema costatum) and bacillariophyceae (Nitzchia pungens). The optimum concentration of this activity was observed at 5 ppb. Additionally, algicidal activity increased rapidly after 9 h and showed more than 80% algicidal activity at 12 h. This research suggested that the prodigiosin purified from bacterium Serratia sp. PDGS120915 could be a potential bio-agent for the prevention and control of public health.
