It was demonstrated that Pseudomonas aeruginosa possesses all the enzymes necessary for the oxidation of pyruvate to CO2 and water without passing through the conventional intermediates oxalosuccinate and α-ketoglutarate. These intermediates are bypassed by the action of the enzyme isocitratase which splits d-isocitrate to succinate plus glyoxylate. This reaction was shown to be readily reversible. The malic acid dehydrogenase content was low and in addition this enzyme required a high pH for optimum activity. In fresh cell extracts at pH 7.4 its activity was only 10% that of the other enzymes of the cycle. The malic and isocitric dehydrogenases were TPN specific. The organism was also shown to possess all the enzymes necessary for the operation of the conventional tricarboxylic acid cycle.

The Glyoxylate Cycle

The enzymes of the glyoxylate cycle, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, glucose oxidation, and hydrogen transport were measured in extracts of Pseudomonas aeruginosa grown with glucose, α-ketoglutarate, or acetate as sole carbon source. The specific activity of isocitritase was increased 25-fold by growth on acetate whereas malate synthetase was increased only 4-fold. All of the enzymes of glucose metabolism, operative at the hexose level, were inducible. The enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle were present under all conditions of growth but extracts from acetate-grown cells contained only one-quarter of the fumarase and pyruvic oxidase activity and half the malate-oxidizing activity of the other extracts. Transhydrogenase, NADH oxidase, and NADPH oxidase activities were similar in each type of extracts. Most of the enzymes were present in the soluble cytoplasm, exceptions being glucose oxidase, succinic dehydrogenase, and NADH oxidase.

The Individual

A multienzyme complex of tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes, catalysing the consecutive reactions from fumarate to 2-oxoglutarate, has been identified in extracts of Pseudomonas aeruginosa prepared by gentle osmotic lysis of the cells. The individual enzyme activities of fumarase, malate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, aconitase and isocitrate dehydrogenase can be used to reconstitute the complex. The citrate synthase isoenzymes, CSI and CSII, from this organism can be used either together or as the individual activities to reconstitute the complex. No complex can be reformed in the absence of CSI or CSII. Which CS isoenzyme predominates in the complex depends on the phase of growth at which the cells were harvested and the extract prepared. More CSI was found in the complex during exponential growth, whereas CSII predominated during the stationary phase. The results support the idea of a ‘metabolon’ in this organism, with the composition of the CS component varying during the growth cycle.

This study shows that BsrA, a LysR-type transcriptional regulator from Pseudomonas aeruginosa , previously identified as a repressor of biofilm synthesis, is part of an intricate global regulatory network. BsrA acts directly and/or indirectly as the repressor and/or activator of genes from vital metabolic pathways (e.g., pyruvate, acetate, and tricarboxylic acid cycle) and is involved in control of transport functions and the formation of surface appendages.

Microbial Sources

Pseudomonas has the potential ability for production of citrate synthase synthesis. Pseudomonas aeruginosa could synthesize the enzyme of citrate synthase which is most likely compatible with microalgae cell. Pseudomonas aerugenosa can be found in the rhizosphere of Kruing (Dipterocarpus sp., Dipterocarpaceae). This bacteria is commonly used in agriculture purposes because it is able to synthesize organic acid such as citric acid. These organic acids are synthesized from a reaction between oxaloacetate and acetyl CoA, catalyzed by citrate synthase (CS) in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA). Rhizosphere as microbial sources was obtained from Kruing (Dipterocarpus sp.), which was collected from ‘Carita’ Research Forest, Pandeglang, Banten, West Java. Citrate synthase gene-specific primers were designed based on citrate synthase gene sequences as depicted in Genbank. The isolation and amplification showed that citrate synthase can be detected and purified from Pseudomonas aeruginosa target and it consists of 1600 bp and encodes 509 amino acids. Based on BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) analysis, CS genes that were successfully isolated had 92 % similarity with Pseudomonas aeruginosa type II citrate synthase. This CS gene is expected to be expressed in microalgae metabolism to divert the metabolism of carbohydrate formation into fatty acids.
