ABSTRACT The oxidative cleavage of heme to release iron is a mechanism by which some bacterial pathogens can utilize heme as an iron source. ThepigA gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is shown to encode a heme oxygenase protein, which was identified in the genome sequence by its significant homology (37%) with HemO ofNeisseria meningitidis. When the gene encoding the neisserial heme oxygenase, hemO, was replaced withpigA, we demonstrated that pigA could functionally replace hemO and allow for heme utilization by neisseriae. Furthermore, when pigA was disrupted by cassette mutagenesis in P. aeruginosa, heme utilization was defective in iron-poor media supplemented with heme. This defect could be restored both by the addition of exogenous FeSO4, indicating that the mutant did not have a defect in iron metabolism, and by in trans complementation with pigA from a plasmid with an inducible promoter. The PigA protein was purified by ion-exchange chromotography. The UV-visible spectrum of PigA reconstituted with heme showed characteristics previously reported for other bacterial and mammalian heme oxygenases. The heme-PigA complex could be converted to ferric biliverdin in the presence of ascorbate, demonstrating the need for an exogenous reductant. Acidification and high-performance liquid chromatography analysis of the ascorbate reduction products identified a major product of biliverdin IX-β. This differs from the previously characterized heme oxygenases in which biliverdin IX-α is the typical product. We conclude that PigA is a heme oxygenase and may represent a class of these enzymes with novel regiospecificity.

Biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has been an area of research to avoid the harmful effects of the toxic chemicals used in its synthesis on our health and environment. In the present study, a novel strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa-RTAC 11 isolated from soil was used for the synthesis of AgNPs. Characterization of the synthesized nanoparticles like UV-vis spectroscopy confirmed the synthesis of AgNPs through a signature peak at 420 nm. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic analysis revealed the capping of AgNPs by proteins through signature functional groups. The nano-size of the particles were confirmed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The AgNPs showed good antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, thus indicating an excellent antibacterial agent.

Abstract Starting from 6-aryl-5-cyano-2-thiouracil derivative 1a–f, a series of novel thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines 4a–f were synthesized. The mechanism and the regioselectivity of the studied reactions are discussed. In addition, a series of tetrahydro-4-H-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazines 7a–e and 2-((ethoxymethyl)thio)-4-aryl-1,6-dihydropyrimidines 9b,c,e were synthesized. The anti-microbial activities of some of the prepared compounds were screened, and the results revealed that compounds 3c and 4c were more active than the standard (Ampicillin) against gram positive bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Moreover, compounds 4b,e and 3f were found to be good antifungal agents against the studied fungal strains.
