Figure Legend Snippet: Schematic depiction of reporter plasmid and fluorescence gene induction by the β-lactam antibiotic. (A) The plasmid map for pCN61_AmpRtdT is shown to the left. Ampicillin (AP, Tem-1 β-lactamase) or streptomycin (STR) is used for selection. The ampRC operon (top right) and the reporter operon where tdTomato is positioned downstream of the ampC promoter (denoted PampC) are depicted. (B) We constructed GFP-labeled P. aeruginosa and transformed this bacterium with pCN61_AmpRtdT. The bacteria were inoculated on an agar plate in proximity to the β-lactam antibiotic CAZ (spotted at the red dot). The antibiotic diffuses outward from the spot. The interface (white arrow) of CAZ and the GFP-labeled P. aeruginosa without the plasmid shows only green fluorescence (top row). In contrast, the GFP-labeled P. aeruginosa transformed by pCN61_AmpRtdT shows green fluorescence (constituitively) and the red fluorescence induced by the cell-wall-acting antibiotic (bottom row). The top row confirms the absence of red backgroud fluorescence from P. aeruginosa. The bottom row demonstrates the functionality of our reporter plasmid. A 10 μM scale bar is given in panel two of the top row.
Techniques Used: Plasmid Preparation, Fluorescence, Selection, Construct, Labeling, Transformation Assay
Figure Legend Snippet: Correlation of the β-lactamase and fluorescence assays. (A) Nitrocefin hydrolysis by AmpC β-lactamase shifts λmax from 390 nm (yellow) to 486 nm (red). (B) Nitrocefin assay performed for P. aeruginosa wild-type and dacB::Tn is plotted as the slope of the absorbance at 486 nm over time for two concentrations of FOX (1/8 MIC and 1/4 MIC) and no antibiotic. (C) Fluorescent response expressed as relative fluorescence (A.U.) of P. aeruginosa wild-type and dacB::Tn under the same experimental conditions as used for the nitrocefin assay. The error bars represent the standard deviation of three biological replicates.
Techniques Used: Fluorescence, Standard Deviation
Figure Legend Snippet: GFP-labeled P. aeruginosa harboring pCN61_AmpRtdT was imaged on a swarm plate in proximity of a second bacterium, either (A) P. mesacidophila, (B) B. licheniformis, (C) E. coli, or (D) M. xanthus. Each panel depicts the bacteria after 15 h of growth. P. aeruginosa is to the left of each plate, while the second bacterium is to the right (see plate panels). The white arrow (top plate) points to a representative site where the two bacteria encounter one another. The second column from left shows bright-field images of comingled bacteria, where the strains meet, as uniform continuous lawns. The GFP panel shows the green fluorescence displayed by P. aeruginosa in this lawn. The black voids are the locations of the second bacterium in this same lawn. The RFP panel shows the red-fluorescent signal from P. aeruginosa that results from contact with an antibiotic-producer strain. Red fluorescence is seen for P. mesacidophila and B. lichemiformis as antibiotic producers. No red fluorescence is seen for E. coli and M. xanthus (not antibiotic producers). The far-right column merges the green and red fluorescent images. A 10-μm black scale bar is given in the bright-field image of panel A.
