Vibrio harveyi causes vibriosis, leading to high mortality and economic loss in global aquaculture. Quorum sensing (QS) driven biofilm formation makes them more resistant to various control measures. This study examined QS inhibition (QSI) of V. harveyi LB3 using marine cyanobacterial natural products. Qualitative and quantitative (88%) assays confirmed the quorum quenching (QQ) efficiency of the intracellular component of Leptolyngbya spp. MACC 32. The active fraction (E3) of the extract showed less than 50% toxicity to PmLyo-Sf9 cells and brine shrimp at 1 mg mL. At MIC (0.06 mg mL), E3 reduced biofilm biomass by 40-45% and metabolic activity by 10-20% without affecting bacterial growth. V. harveyi LB3 treated with E3 showed less gelatinase (64.75%), hemolytic activity (17.55%), motility (8-16%) and reduced EPS formation (45.5%), indicating its anti-virulence properties. HPLC, H NMR, and GC-MS analyses confirmed that E3 contains 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA) and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (4-HBAL). Synthetic controls validated the QQ of 4-HBA and 4-HBAL. Molecular docking studies hinted at the putative interaction of 4-HBA and 4-HBAL with QS proteins (LuxR, LuxP, LuxM, LuxN, LuxQ, LuxU, LuxO and LuxS) of V. harveyi. Gene expression studies showed strong LuxR, LuxP, LuxQ, and ToxR downregulation (61-97%), differential upregulation of LuxO, LuxU, aphA, qrr1-qrr5 (9-18%), and LuxS, LuxM, LuxN, Fur (2-4%). Although not confirmed with mutant strains, this study provides strong evidence that phenolic compounds from Leptolyngbya spp. MACC 32 inhibited V. harveyi LB3 QS by blocking AI-2 binding to LuxP, supporting their role in shrimp health management through the control of vibriosis.
哈维氏弧菌可引发弧菌病,导致全球水产养殖中出现高死亡率和经济损失。群体感应(QS)驱动的生物膜形成使它们对各种控制措施更具抗性。本研究考察了利用海洋蓝细菌天然产物对哈维氏弧菌LB3的群体感应抑制(QSI)作用。定性和定量(88%)分析证实了纤细席藻属MACC 32细胞内成分的群体猝灭(QQ)效率。提取物的活性组分(E3)在1 mg/mL时对PmLyo-Sf9细胞和卤虫的毒性小于50%。在最低抑菌浓度(MIC,0.06 mg/mL)时,E3使生物膜生物量减少40 - 45%,代谢活性降低10 - 20%,而不影响细菌生长。用E3处理的哈维氏弧菌LB3表现出较低的明胶酶活性(64.75%)、溶血活性(17.55%)、运动性(8 - 16%)以及胞外聚合物形成减少(45.5%),表明其具有抗毒力特性。高效液相色谱、核磁共振氢谱和气相色谱 - 质谱分析证实E3含有4 - 羟基苯甲酸(4 - HBA)和4 - 羟基苯甲醛(4 - HBAL)。合成对照验证了4 - HBA和4 - HBAL的QQ作用。分子对接研究提示了4 - HBA和4 - HBAL与哈维氏弧菌的QS蛋白(LuxR、LuxP、LuxM、LuxN、LuxQ、LuxU、LuxO和LuxS)之间可能存在的相互作用。基因表达研究显示LuxR、LuxP、LuxQ和ToxR有强烈下调(61 - 97%),LuxO、LuxU、aphA、qrr1 - qrr5有差异上调(9 - 18%),LuxS、LuxM、LuxN、Fur有轻微上调(2 - 4%)。尽管未用突变菌株进行验证,但本研究提供了有力证据,表明纤细席藻属MACC 32中的酚类化合物通过阻断AI - 2与LuxP的结合来抑制哈维氏弧菌LB3的QS,支持了它们在通过控制弧菌病来管理对虾健康方面的作用。
