CV-IIL: New lectin from Chromobacterium violaceum

Original language description

Bacterium Chromobacterium violaceum, a gram-negative saprophyte from soil and water, is usually considered non-pathogenic to human. However, infections in animals, including human, can be quite varied, ranging from mild diarrhoea to septicaemia leading to a rapid death. This bacterium has been found to be highly abundant in the water and borders of the Negro river, a major component of the Brazilian Amazon. It produces the violacein pigment, which exhibits an antimicrobial activity particularly againstsoil amoebae and trypanosomes. Because of its pharmaceutical interest, C. violaceum genome has been fully sequenced by the Brazilian National Genome Project Consortium [1]. The genome contains extensive but incomplete arrays of ORFs coding for proteins associated with mammalian pathogenicity, probably involved in the occasional but often fatal cases of human C. violaceum infection. Homology search in the C. violaceum genome revealed that gene cv1741 displays homology with gene lecB from
