PG - 394-400 AB - L-amino acid oxidase (LAO) shows broadly antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria by H(2)O(2) generated in the oxidative process of L-amino acids. However, LAO (termed SSAP) isolated from the rockfish Sebastes schlegelii skin mucus acted selectively on Gram-negative bacteria. Therefore, this study was undertaken to clarify the antibacterial action of SSAP as compared with H(2)O(2). SSAP inhibited potently the growth of Aeromonas salmonicida, Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida and Vibrio parahaemolyticus with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.078, 0.16 and 0.63 microg/mL, respectively. H(2)O(2) inhibited the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria with an MIC ranging from 0.31 to 2.5 mM. When SSAP was incubated with P. damselae subsp. piscicida and Escherichia coli, SSAP was demonstrated to bind to P. damselae subsp. piscicida but not to E. coli by Western blotting and LAO activity measurement. These results show that the bacteria binding activity may be involved in the bacterial cell selectivity of SSAP. Electron microscopic observation of A. salmonicida, P. damselae subsp. piscicida and V. parahaemolyticus revealed that the treatments with SSAP and H(2)O(2) induced cell surface damage to A. salmonicida, remarkable elongation of P. damselae subsp. piscicida bodies and pores into V. parahaemolyticus cells.
