The function of Mms6 related to biomineralization on the magnetosome formation in Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 was studied.
The transcript of mms6 was analyzed under static and aerobic conditions with Real-time RT-PCR. We observed the cell growth and magnetism of the mutation in which mms6 was mutated.
The transcript of mms6 increased with the formation of magnetosomes. Mutation of mms6 caused about 50% decrease of magnetism in AMB-1 under static conditions, however, the cell growth of mutant was similar as to that of the wild type.
Gene mms6 is involved in the magnetosome formation of AMB-1.
研究与生物矿化相关的Mms6在嗜磁螺菌AMB-1磁小体形成中的作用。
采用实时逆转录聚合酶链反应(Real-time RT-PCR)分析在静态和好氧条件下mms6的转录情况。观察mms6发生突变的突变体的细胞生长和磁性。
mms6的转录随着磁小体的形成而增加。在静态条件下,mms6的突变导致AMB-1的磁性下降约50%,然而,突变体的细胞生长与野生型相似。
基因mms6参与了AMB-1磁小体的形成。
