Mycobacterium vaccae JOB-5 has an inducible propane monooxygenase that has been implicated in the catabolism of most major groundwater pollutants including trichloroethylene. Propane-grown cells are also induced for the dehalogenation of 1-chlorobutane and other chloroalkanes. 1-Chlorobutane is oxidized to 2-butanol, indicating that subterminal oxidation of 1-chlorobutane resulted in a concomitant release of the chloride. Nonproliferating suspensions of M. vaccae induced for the propane monooxygenase can dehalogenate a variety of chlorinated hydrocarbons including monochlorinated alcohols, dichlorinated short chain alkanes, and several multiple-substituted compounds including trichloroethylene. The results indicate that M. vaccae JOB-5 has a monooxygenase of broad specificity that can dehalogenate an array of halogenated hydrocarbons.Key words: dehalogenation, propane monooxygenase, chlorinated alkanes.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the nervous and humoral pathways involved in short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-induced ileal brake in conscious pigs. The role of extrinsic ileal innervation was evaluated after SCFA infusion in innervated and denervated Babkin's ileal loops, and gastric motility was measured with strain gauges. Peptide YY (PYY) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) concentrations were evaluated in both situations. The possible involvement of absorbed SCFA was tested by using intravenous infusion of acetate. Ileal SCFA infusion in the intact terminal ileum decreased the amplitude of distal and terminal antral contractions (33 ± 1.2 vs. 49 ± 1.2% of the maximal amplitude recorded before infusion) and increased their frequency (1.5 ± 0.11 vs. 1.3 ± 0.10/min). Similar effects were observed during SCFA infusion in ileal innervated and denervated loops (amplitude, 35 ± 1.0 and 34 ± 0.8 vs. 47 ± 1.3 and 43 ± 1.2%; frequency, 1.4 ± 0.07 and 1.6 ± 0.06 vs. 1.1 ± 0.14 and 1.0 ± 0.12/min). Intravenous acetate did not modify the amplitude and frequency of antral contractions. PYY but not GLP-1 concentrations were increased during SCFA infusion in innervated and denervated loops. In conclusion, ileal SCFA inhibit distal gastric motility by a humoral pathway involving the release of an inhibiting factor, which is likely PYY.

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) 0157:H7 is a food-borne pathogen that causes hemolytic uremic syndrome and hemorrhagic colitis. The mechanisms underlying the adhesion of EHEC 0157:H7 to intestinal epithelial cells are not well understood. Like other food-borne pathogens, ECEC 0157:H7 must survive the acid stress of the gastric juice in the stomach and short chain fatty acid in the intestine in order to colonize the large intestine. We have found that acid stress and short chain fatty acid stress significantly enhance host-adhesion of EHEC 0157:H7 and also upregulates expression of EHEC fimbrial genes, lpfA1, lpfA2 and yagZ, as demonstrated by our DNA microarray. We now report that disruption of the yagZ (also known as the E. coli common pilus A) gene results in loss of the acid-induced and short chain fatty acid-induced adhesion increase seen for the wild type strain. When the yagZ mutant is complemented with yagZ, the sress-induced and short chain fatty acid-induced adhesion increase seen for the wild type strain. When the yagZ mutant is complemented with yagZ, the stress-induced adhesion pehnotype is restored, confirming the role of yagZ in the acid as well as short chain fatty acid induced adhesion to HEp-2 cells. On the other hand, neither disruption in the long polar fimbria genes lpfA1 or lpfA2 in the wild type showed any effect in adherence to HEp-2 cells; rather displaying a hyperadherant phenotype to HEp-2 cells after acid-induced or short chain fatty acid-induced stress. The results also indicate that acid or short chain fatty acid stress, which is a part of the host's natural defense mechanism against pathogens, may regulate virulence factors resulting in enhanced bacteria-host attachment during colonization in the human or bovine host.
