Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a polyketide mycotoxin that commonly contaminates agricultural products and causes significant economic losses. In this study, the efficient OTA-degrading strain AP19 was isolated from vineyard soil and was identified as Acinetobacter pittii. Compared with growth in nutrient broth supplemented with OTA (OTA-NB), strain AP19 grew faster in nutrient broth (NB), but the ability of the resulting cell lysates to remove OTA was weaker. After cultivation in NB, the cell lysate of strain AP19 was able to remove 100% of 1 mg/L OTA within 18 h. The cell lysate fraction > 30 kDa degraded 100% of OTA within 12 h, while the fractions < 30 kDa were practically unable to degrade OTA. Further anion exchange chromatography of the > 30 kDa fraction yielded two peaks exhibiting significant OTA degradation activity. The degradation product was identified as OTα. Amino acid metabolism exhibited major transcriptional trends in the response of AP19 to OTA. The dacC gene encoding carboxypeptidase was identified as one of the contributors to OTA degradation. Soil samples inoculated with strain AP19 showed significant OTA degradation. These results provide significant insights into the discovery of novel functions in A. pittii, as well as its potential as an OTA decomposer.

Unlabelled: Development of next-generation influenza virus vaccines is crucial to improve protection against circulating and emerging viruses. Current vaccine formulations have to be updated annually due to mutations in seasonal strains and do not offer protection against strains with pandemic potential. Computationally optimized broadly reactive antigen (COBRA) methodology has been utilized by our group to generate broadly reactive immunogens for individual influenza subtypes, which elicit protective immune responses against a broad range of strains over numerous seasons.

A chromomycin-producing actinomycete, strain AP19, was isolated from a sample of faeces collected from Foping national nature reserve in China. Chemotaxonomic and morphological properties indicated that the novel isolate was a member of the genus Streptomyces. Phylogenetic analyses based on an almost complete 16S rRNA gene sequence of the strain and on the 120-nt nucleotide variable gamma-region of this molecule revealed that it was closely related to Streptomyces griseus ISP 5236(T) and Streptomyces cavourensis subsp.

Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans AP19-3, ATCC 23270, and MON-1 are mercury-sensitive, moderately mercury-resistant, and highly mercury-resistant strains respectively. It is known that 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-p-phenylendiamine (TMPD) and reduced cytochrome c are used as electron donors specific for cytochrome c oxidase. Resting cells of strain MON-1 had TMPD oxidase activity and volatilized metal mercury with TMPD as an electron donor.
