We previously reported that MR01, an indigenous strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, was able to produce a rhamnolipid-type biosurfactant. Here, we attempted to define the structural properties of this natural product. The analysis of the extracted biosurfactant by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) revealed the presence of two compounds corresponding to those of authentic mono- and di-rhamnolipid. The identity of two structurally distinguished rhamnolipids was confirmed by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) of extracted biosurfactant revealed up to seventeen different rhamnolipid congeners. Further quantification showed di-rhamnolipids as the major compound (77.2%), while monorhamnolipids comprising a smaller proportion (22.8%) of MR01 biosurfactant. Rha-Rha-C10-C10 was verified as the major component of the MR01 biosurfactant (35.93%). Cytotoxic activity of MR01 biosurfactant against human cancer Hela cells showed an excellent inhibitory effect of 5μg/ml. An isolated mutant strain (MR01-C) created by Gamma ray irradiation demonstrated more than one and a half-fold biosurfactant production and activity compared with the parent strain. Analysis of the biosurfactant produced by MR01-C showed the magnitude of di-rhamnolipids in the sample increased up to 88.6% (∼15% higher than control) and the quantity of Rha-Rha-C10-C10 increased to 52.08% (∼45% higher than control).
我们之前曾报道过,一株本土铜绿假单胞菌(Pseudomonas aeruginosa)MR01 能够产生鼠李糖脂型生物表面活性剂。在这里,我们试图确定这种天然产物的结构特性。通过薄层色谱(TLC)对提取的生物表面活性剂进行分析,发现存在两种与单鼠李糖脂和双鼠李糖脂相对应的化合物。两种结构不同的鼠李糖脂通过 1H 和 13C 核磁共振(NMR)光谱得到确认。提取的生物表面活性剂的液相色谱/质谱(LC/MS)显示出多达十七种不同的鼠李糖脂同系物。进一步的定量分析表明,双鼠李糖脂是主要化合物(77.2%),而单鼠李糖脂则占 MR01 生物表面活性剂的较小比例(22.8%)。Rha-Rha-C10-C10 被验证为 MR01 生物表面活性剂的主要成分(35.93%)。MR01 生物表面活性剂对人宫颈癌 Hela 细胞的细胞毒性活性显示出 5μg/ml 的优异抑制作用。通过伽马射线照射产生的分离突变株(MR01-C)显示出比亲本菌株高出一倍半以上的生物表面活性剂产量和活性。对 MR01-C 产生的生物表面活性剂进行分析表明,样品中二鼠李糖脂的含量增加到 88.6%(比对照高约 15%),Rha-Rha-C10-C10 的含量增加到 52.08%(比对照高约 45%)。
