Hydrolysis of [17,17-^2H_2]gibberellinA_20-glucoside and[17,17-^2H_2]gibberellin A_20-glucosylester by Azospirillum lipofe
文摘
Azospirillum lipoferum strain USA 5b, a gibberellin producing bacterium,was cultured in a nitrogen-free biotin-based chemically-defined medium inthe presence of the glucosyl ester or the 13-O-glucoside of [17,17-H]-gibberellin A. The[17,17-H]-gibberellin Aconjugates were added at both the stationary phase of the cultures and atthe beginning of the growth curve. Metabolism of the conjugates was examinedafter 72 h of incubation using capillary gas chromatography-massspectrometry, with identification by full scan mass spectra. Metabolitesidentified were [17,17-H]-gibberellinA, [17,17-H]-gibberellinA and [17,17-H]-gibberellinA. Also, in the Azospirillum cultures fed at the beginning ofthe growth curve, gibberellin A and gibberellinA were characterized as endogenous by mass spectrometry/fullspectrum. These results support the concept that the growth promotion inplants that is induced by Azospirillum infection may occur by a combinationof both gibberellin production and gibberellin-glucoside/glucosyl esterdeconjugation by the bacterium.
