Inhibitory Effect of Taurine on Biofilm Formation During Alkane Degradation in Acinetobacter oleivorans DR1

Abstract: Taurine, 2-aminoethanesulfonate, is known to function as an antioxidant or membrane stabilizer in eukaryotic cells, but its role in bacteria has been poorly characterized. Biofilm formation of Acinetobacter oleivorans DR1 was significantly reduced by taurine only during alkane degradation, suggesting that taurine affects alkane-induced cell surface. Structurally similar compounds harboring an amine group such as hypotaurine or ethylenediamine have a similar effect, which was not observed with sulfonate-contain… Show more

“…These pro-inflammatory metabolisms stimulated B. sp LM24 to metabolise the antiperoxidases hydroxyanigorufone (hydroxyanisone), D-erythroascorbic acid, and 1′-a-D-xylopyranoside. They were significantly up-regulated, which was consistent with other studies wherein bacteria usually produced several antioxidant substances to alleviate oxidative damage in cells [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ].…”

“…Moreover, the important functional role of the tauRXYPI cluster, implicated in taurine metabolism in A. calcoaceticus, has been analyzed under nitrogen limitation conditions (143). The inhibitory effect of taurine on the formation of biofilm during alkane degradation was recently studied and shows that taurine probably affects the alkaneinduced cell surface (144).…”

“…To adhere to lipophilic Hex, the bacterial cell surface becomes hydrophobic, creating a hydrophobic environment between the cell and the substrate (23,24). This may make it difficult for polar substrates such as ions and water to enter the cells (25).…”
