Genetic, structural and pharmacological characterization of polymannuronate synthesized by algG mutant indigenous soil bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa CMG1421.

AIMS: It was aimed to study the genetic, structural and pharmacological characteristics of polymannuronate synthesized by Pseudomonas aeruginosa CMG1421.

METHODS AND RESULTS: Synthesis was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy, FT/IR, 1 H-NMR and gel permeation chromatography followed by in vitro bioassays. Colony-PCR followed by sequence analysis was employed for screening of structural genes. FT/IR analysis indicated the presence of hydroxyl, carboxyl and O-acetyl groups linked to mannuronate. 1 H-NMR analysis indicated M-M bond characteristics for mannuronic acid residues. The average relative Molecular weight was found in range of 20,000-250,000Da. The amplified DNA fragments were identified as 16S rRNA, algD, alg8, alg44, algG, algE and algX genes showing 99 to 100% homology with those of P. aeruginosa. However, in algG there were transition mutations of Adenine and Cytosine at nucleotide position 766 and 769, and 878 and 881 respectively. Polymannuronate and its oligomannuronates respectively showed moderate and significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity and antidiabetic activities.

CONCLUSIONS: Alginate synthesized by ∆algG mutant P. aeruginosa CMG1421 was bioactive and solely consists of acetylated D-mannuronates.

SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: It was investigated a biocompatible, nonimmunogenic and nontoxic pharmacological agents for treatment and attenuation of degenerative, inflammatory, autoimmune disease, and metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes.
