In vitro Inhibitory Activity of Shisandra chinensis and Polygonatum sibiricum against Vibrio harveyi and Its Biofilms

[Objective] This study aimed to analyze the in vitro inhibitory activity of Shisandra chinensis and Polygonatum sibiricum against Vibrio harveyi and its biofilms. [Result] By agar diffusion test, in vitro inhibitory activity of 5. chinensis and P. sibiricum against V. harveyi was investigated. The minimal inhibitory concentration （ MIC） and minimal bactericidal concentration （MBC） of 5. chinensis and P. sibiricum against V. harveyi were determined by doubling dilution meth-od. The inhibitory activity of 5. chinensis and P. sibiricum on the formation of V. harveyi biofilms was evaluated by modified MTT assay.

Molecular Cloning,Bioinformatics Analysis and Expression Analysis of Type III Secretion System(T3SS)Injectisome Gene vscX from Vibrio alginolyticus

In order to enrich the research about type III secretion system （T3SS） injectisome of Vibrio alginolyticus, vscX gene was cloned from E algianlyticus strain HY9901 for bioinformatics analysis and expression analysis. Specific primers were designed according to the full-length geanme sequence of V. alginolyticus in GenBank. vscX gene （C, enBank accession number： FR780679） contained a 378 bp open reading frame （ORF）, encoding a putative protein of 125 amino acids. The theoretical molecular weight was 14.209 2 kD and theoretical pI was 5.75. By using Signal 4.1 Server and TMHMM Server 2.0, it was predicted that VscX protein had no transmembrane domain or signal peptide. The results of prediction using SoftBerry-Psite software showed that VscX protein contained three casein ki- nase lI phosphorylation sites, one N-myristoylation site and three C-terminal targeting signal sites. Subcellular localization revealed that VscX might be located in cytoplasm with the possibility of 56.5%. According to SMART prediction, VscX had one Pfam （ 1 - 125 aa） domain. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that VscX from V. alginolyticus and VscX from E parahemolyticus were clustered into the same group. Network interaction analysis showed that vscX was adjacent to vseY, vopB and sycN. By real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR technique and 2-△△△ method, the differences in expression levels of VscX mRNA in V. alginolyticus strain HY9901, T3SS deletion strain AvscO and complementary strain C-vscO at different growth stages were analyzed. The results showed that the expression levels of VscX mRNA in V. algianlyticus strain HY9901 and C-vscO were significantly up-regulated at stable growth stage （ P 〈0.01 ） ; the expression levels of VscX mRNA in deletion strain △vscO were significantly up-regulated at late growth stage （ P 〈0.01 ）. This study provided the basis for revealing the transport mechanism of T3SS injectisome of E alginolyticus.
