ABSTRACT The gene for glycine betaine transmethylase (gbt) was identified in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain Fildes III by biochemical, physiological, and molecular approaches. Based on sequence analysis, the knockout gene corresponded to an open reading frame (ORF) named PA3082 in the genome of P. aeruginosa PAO1. The translated product of this ORF displayed similarity to transferases of different microorganisms. Mutation in gbt blocked the utilization of choline and glycine betaine as carbon and nitrogen sources.

Keratinolytic potential of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain SDS3 has been evaluated for the metabolism of chicken feathers. Results indicated that strain SDS3 showed complete metabolism of 0.1 and 0.5% (w/v) chicken feathers in minimal medium. Feathers were metabolized up to 80% at 1% (w/v) concentration. Maximum soluble protein (480.8±17.1 μg/mL) and keratinase (15.4±0.25 U/mL) were observed in the presence of 1% chicken feathers after five days of incubation. The effect of carbon and nitrogen sources showed that feather degradation was stimulated by complex carbon/nitrogen sources such as starch, malt extract, tryptone, and beef extract and was inhibited by simple carbon and nitrogen sources. Electricity production by employing chicken feathers as a substrate in microbial fuel cell (MFC) was evaluated. It was observed that maximum voltage corresponding to 141 mV was observed after 14 days of incubation. Maximum power density of 1206.78 mW/m2 and maximum current density of 8.6 mA/m2 were observed. The results clearly indicate that chicken feathers can be successfully employed as a cheap substrate for electricity production in MFC. This is the first report showing employment of chicken feathers as substrate in MFC.

The response regulator AgmR was identified to be involved in the regulation of the quinoprotein ethanol oxidation system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 17933. Interruption of the agmR gene by insertion of a kanamycin-resistance cassette resulted in mutant NG3, unable to grow on ethanol. After complementation with the intact agmR gene, growth on ethanol was restored. Transcriptional lacZ fusions were used to identify four operons which are regulated by the AgmR protein: the exaA operon encodes the pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-dependent ethanol dehydrogenase, the exaBC operon encodes a soluble cytochrome c 550 and an aldehyde dehydrogenase, the pqqABCDE operon carries the PQQ biosynthetic genes, and operon exaDE encodes a two-component regulatory system which controls transcription of the exaA operon. Transcription of exaA was restored by transformation of NG3 with a pUCP20T derivative carrying the exaDE genes under lac-promoter control. These data indicate that the AgmR response regulator and the exaDE two-component regulatory system are organized in a hierarchical manner. Gene PA1977, which appears to form an operon with the agmR gene, was found to be non-essential for growth on ethanol.
