Comamonas testosteroni colony phenotype influences exopolysaccharide production and coaggregation with yeast cells.

Abstract:

:A Comamonas testosteroni strain was isolated from activated sludge on the basis of its ability to coaggregate with yeast cells. On agar plates the following two types of colonies were formed: colonies with a mucoid appearance and colonies with a nonmucoid appearance. On plates this strain alternated between the two forms, making sectored colonies. In liquid medium with constant agitation no such change was observed. In the absence of agitation and in contact with a glass surface a culture with predominantly nonmucoid-colony-forming cells very rapidly shifted to a culture dominated by mucoid-colony-forming cells. In liquid medium the reverse was observed under stress conditions imposed by hydrogen peroxide, sodium dodecyl sulfate, or starvation. Nonmucoid cells formed very rapidly settling flocs with yeast cells, while coaggregation of mucoid cells with yeast cells did not occur. These findings may be relevant to the behavior of activated sludge microbial communities.
