PDíaz-Rosales et al. Superoxi<strong>de</strong> dismutase and cata<strong><strong>la</strong>s</strong>e in P. damse<strong>la</strong>e ssp. piscicida<br />

methylthiazoyl-2-yl] 2,5-diph<strong>en</strong>yltetrazolium bromi<strong>de</strong><br />

(MTT, Sigma) (5 mg mL )1 distilled water)<br />

was ad<strong>de</strong>d to the wells, p<strong>la</strong>tes were shak<strong>en</strong> and<br />

absorbance at 550 nm was read after 15-min<br />

incubation on a multiscan spectrophotometer<br />

(Microp<strong>la</strong>te Rea<strong>de</strong>r 2001; Whittaker Bioproducts<br />

Inc., Walkersville, MD, USA). The perc<strong>en</strong>tage of<br />

surviving bacteria was calcu<strong>la</strong>ted by dividing the<br />

absorbance obtained from the wells incubated with<br />

bacteria for 5 h by the values obtained from wells<br />

incubated with bacteria for 0 h.<br />

Statistical analysis<br />

Quantification of <strong>en</strong>zymatic activities was carried<br />

out in three in<strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong><strong>de</strong>nt experim<strong>en</strong>ts. Fish experim<strong>en</strong>ts<br />

were performed in triplicate, data corresponding<br />

to measurem<strong>en</strong>ts were carried out with<br />

phagocytes from three differ<strong>en</strong>t fish and three<br />

replicate wells for each fish. An anova test was<br />

performed to compare the results obtained.<br />

P < 0.05 was consi<strong>de</strong>red significant.<br />

damse<strong>la</strong>e subsp. piscicida grown until stationary phase. Lane 1:<br />

All the extracts of the strains of P. damse<strong>la</strong>e ssp.<br />

piscicida inclu<strong>de</strong>d in this study produced simi<strong>la</strong>r<br />

SOD and cata<strong><strong>la</strong>s</strong>e activity bands (Fig. 1). Thus, a<br />

single band with i<strong>de</strong>ntical mobility in native polyacry<strong>la</strong>mi<strong>de</strong><br />

gel electrophoresis gels was observed for<br />

all iso<strong>la</strong>tes and culture conditions assayed (Fig. 2).<br />

Simi<strong>la</strong>r protein conc<strong>en</strong>trations were loa<strong>de</strong>d in the<br />

gel <strong>la</strong>nes. However, differ<strong>en</strong>ces in the int<strong>en</strong>sity of<br />

the SOD and cata<strong><strong>la</strong>s</strong>e bands were observed. Thus,<br />

SOD and cata<strong><strong>la</strong>s</strong>e activity bands showed lower<br />

int<strong>en</strong>sity in the extracts from cultures carried out<br />

un<strong>de</strong>r iron-limiting conditions, whilst increased<br />

int<strong>en</strong>sity of SOD bands was observed in extracts<br />

from cultures un<strong>de</strong>r iron-supplem<strong>en</strong>ted conditions<br />

and in the pres<strong>en</strong>ce of the cytop<strong><strong>la</strong>s</strong>mic superoxi<strong>de</strong><br />

radical g<strong>en</strong>erator, methyl violog<strong>en</strong> (Fig. 2).<br />

Two iso<strong>la</strong>tes with differ<strong>en</strong>t <strong>de</strong>grees of virul<strong>en</strong>ce<br />

for sole were selected for further characterization:<br />

one virul<strong>en</strong>t, Lg h41/01 (LD 50 ¼ 2.8 · 10 4 cfu g )1<br />

fish) and one non-virul<strong>en</strong>t, EPOY-8803-II<br />

(LD 50 > 7 · 10 6 cfu g )1 fish).<br />

Cultures carried out until the early stationary<br />

phase of the non-virul<strong>en</strong>t iso<strong>la</strong>te contained significantly<br />

(P < 0.05) lower amounts of SOD than<br />

cultures of the virul<strong>en</strong>t strain. However, wh<strong>en</strong> iron<br />

was ad<strong>de</strong>d to the growth broth, EPOY-8803-II<br />

contained significantly higher amounts of SOD<br />

(Fig. 3).<br />

There was no significant hydrog<strong>en</strong> peroxi<strong>de</strong><br />

induction of SOD in any of the strains, and in<strong>de</strong>ed<br />

a <strong>de</strong>crease in activity in strain Lg h41/01 was <strong>de</strong>tected<br />

(Fig. 3). In contrast, cells of both strains cultured<br />

un<strong>de</strong>r iron limiting or replete conditions contained<br />

significantly differ<strong>en</strong>t amounts of SOD activity. In<br />

all the cases, growth un<strong>de</strong>r iron-limiting conditions<br />

resulted in a significant <strong>de</strong>crease in SOD activity<br />

compared with iron replete conditions, this <strong>de</strong>crease<br />

being more important in the non-virul<strong>en</strong>t strain<br />

than in the virul<strong>en</strong>t strain.<br />

Unlike SOD, cata<strong><strong>la</strong>s</strong>e activity in cultures of the<br />

non-virul<strong>en</strong>t strain was lower than in the virul<strong>en</strong>t<br />

strain (Fig. 4). Moreover, whilst no significant<br />

differ<strong>en</strong>ces were observed in cata<strong><strong>la</strong>s</strong>e cont<strong>en</strong>ts of<br />

Lg h41/01 cultures grown until stationary phase and<br />

those pulsed with hydrog<strong>en</strong> peroxi<strong>de</strong>, strain EPOY-<br />

8803-II showed a consi<strong>de</strong>rably greater amount of<br />

cata<strong><strong>la</strong>s</strong>e activity wh<strong>en</strong> cultures were pulsed with<br />

hydrog<strong>en</strong> peroxi<strong>de</strong>. A significant <strong>de</strong>crease of activity<br />

was also observed for cultures of both strains carried<br />

out un<strong>de</strong>r iron-limiting conditions compared with<br />

iron-overloa<strong>de</strong>d broths.<br />

Cata<strong><strong>la</strong>s</strong>e activity could not be <strong>de</strong>tected in the gels<br />

following exposure to 100 mm sodium azi<strong>de</strong> and<br />

treatm<strong>en</strong>t with potassium cyani<strong>de</strong> resulted in a<br />

slight reduction of activity, suggesting that this<br />

bacterium contains an iron-cofactored <strong>en</strong>zyme.<br />
