Abstract

grows at the same rate and with the same cell yield under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Under aerobic conditions, it exhibits vigorous oxygen consumption in spite of lacking a respiratory system and haem catalase. To understand the adaptive response of . to oxidative stresses, a genomic analysis of was conducted. The analysis showed that has the genes of four metabolic systems: two pyruvate metabolic pathways, a glycolytic metabolic pathway and an NADH oxidase (Nox)–AhpC (Prx) system. A transcriptional study confirmed that has these metabolic systems. Moreover, genomic analysis revealed the presence of two genes for NADH oxidase ( and ), both of which were identified in the transcriptional analysis. The gene in was highly expressed under normal aerobic conditions but that of was not. A purification study of NADH oxidases indicated that the gene product of is a primary metabolic enzyme responsible for metabolism of both oxygen and reactive oxygen species. was successfully grown under forced oxidative stress conditions such as 0.1 mM HO, 0.3 mM paraquat and 80 % oxygen. Proteomic analysis revealed that manganese SOD, Prx, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex E1 and E3 components, and riboflavin synthase β-chain are induced under normal aerobic conditions, and the other proteins except the five aerobically induced proteins were not induced under forced oxidative stress conditions. Taken together, the present findings indicate that has a unique defence system against forced oxidative stress.
