Definitions

  • Beneficial bacteria can be used to suppress the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
  • Bacteria and other microorganisms are ubiquitous in the environment. The discovery of pathogenic bacteria and the germ theory of disease have had a tremendous effect on health and disease states. Bacteria are a normal part of the environment of all living things. In the gut, these bacteria are not pathogenic under normal conditions, and in fact improve health by rendering the normal intestinal contents less hospitable for disease causing organisms.
  • Disease prevention is accomplished in a number of ways: nutrients are consumed, leaving less for pathogens; conditions are produced, such as pH and oxygen tension, which are not hospitable for pathogens; compounds are produced that are toxic to pathogens; pathogens are consumed as food by these microorganisms; less physical space remains available for pathogens; and specific binding sites are occupied leaving fewer binding sites available for pathogens.
  • nutrients are consumed, leaving less for pathogens; conditions are produced, such as pH and oxygen tension, which are not hospitable for pathogens; compounds are produced that are toxic to pathogens; pathogens are consumed as food by these microorganisms; less physical space remains available for pathogens; and specific binding sites are occupied leaving fewer binding sites available for pathogens.
  • the presence of these desirable bacteria is seen as useful in preventing disease states.
  • This disclosure provides, inter alia, an optimized strain of Nitrosomonas eutropha ( N. eutropha ) designated D23, D23-100 or AOB D23-100, the terms which may be used interchangeably throughout the disclosure.
  • Nitrosomonas are ubiquitous Gram-negative obligate chemolithoautotrophic bacteria with a unique capacity to generate energy exclusively from the conversion of ammonia to nitrite.
  • N. eutropha bacteria disclosed in this application have desirable, e.g. optimized, properties such as the ability to suppress growth of pathogenic bacteria, and an enhanced ability to produce nitric oxide (NO) and nitric oxide (NO 2 ⁇ ) precursors.
  • the N. eutropha e.g., optimized N. eutropha , e.g., purified preparations of optimized N. eutropha herein may be used, for instance, to treat diseases, e.g., diseases associated with low nitrite levels, skin disorders, and diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria.
  • diseases e.g., diseases associated with low nitrite levels, skin disorders, and diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria.
  • the present disclosure provides, inter alia, a Nitrosomonas eutropha ( N. eutropha ) bacterium, e.g., an optimized N. eutropha , e.g., a purified preparation of optimized N. eutropha , having at least one property selected from:
  • the bacterium is optionally axenic.
  • the optimized growth rate is a rate allowing a continuous culture of N. eutropha at an OD600 (optical density at 600 nm) of about 0.15-0.18 to reach an OD600 of about 0.5-0.6 in about 1-2 days.
  • optimized growth rate is a doubling time of about 8 hours when cultured under batch culture conditions.
  • the optimized NH 4 + oxidation rate is a rate of at least about 125 micromoles per minute of oxidizing NH 4 + to NO 2 ⁇ .
  • the optimized resistance to NH 4 + is an ability to grow in medium comprising about 200 mM NH 4 + for at least about 48 hours.
  • the purified preparation of optimized N. eutropha bacterium (which is optionally axenic) has at least two properties selected from an optimized growth rate, an optimized NH 4 + oxidation rate, and an optimized resistance to NH 4 + .

  • the concentration of oxygen at the site of consumption is the lowest in the body, and the O 2 flux is determined by the diffusion resistance and the concentration gradient. Achieving sufficient oxygen supply to all the peripheral tissues requires extraordinar control of capillary size and location. If the spacing between capillaries were increased, achieving the same flux of oxygen would require a larger concentration difference and hence a lower O 2 concentration at cytochrome oxidase. With more cells between capillaries, the O 2 demand would be greater. If the spacing between capillaries were decreased, there would be less space available for the cells that perform the metabolic function of the organ.
  • NO from ammonia oxidizing bacteria is readily absorbed by the outer skin and converted into S-nitrosothiols since the outer skin is free from hemoglobin.
  • M. Stucker et al. have shown that the external skin receives all of its oxygen from the external air in “The cutaneous uptake of atmospheric oxygen contributes significantly to the oxygen supply of human dermis and epidermis. (Journal of Physiology (2002), 538.3, pp. 985-994.) This is readily apparent, because the external skin can be seen to be essentially erythrocyte free. There is circulation of plasma through these layers because they are living and do require the other nutrients in blood, just not the oxygen. S-nitrosothiols formed are stable, can diffuse throughout the body, and constitute a volume source of authentic NO and a source of NO to transnitrosate protein thiols.
  • capillary rarefaction may be one of the first indications of insufficient levels of NO. F. T. Tarek et al. have shown that sparse capillaries, or capillary rarefaction, is commonly seen in people with essential hypertension. (Structural Skin Capillary Rarefaction in Essential Hypertension. Hypertension. 1999; 33:998-1001
  • hypooxia may affect the body's system that regulates capillary density.
  • a significant component of “hypoxia” is sensed, not by a decrease in O2 levels, but rather by an increase in NO levels. Lowering of basal NO levels interferes with this “hypoxia” sensing, and so affects many bodily functions regulated through “hypoxia.”
  • anemia is commonly defined as “not enough hemoglobin,” and one consequence of not enough hemoglobin is “hypoxia”, which is defined as “not enough oxygen.” According to some aspects, these common definitions do not account for the nitric oxide mediated aspects of both conditions.
  • hypoxia sensors detected “hypoxia” and compensated with vasodilatation and tachycardia. However, there was no “hypoxia” to detect. There was a slight decrease in blood lactate (a marker for anaerobic respiration) from 0.77 to 0.62 mM/L indicating less anaerobic respiration and less “hypoxia.” The 3% reduction in venous return PvO2 is the same level of “hypoxia” one would get by ascending 300 meters in altitude (which typically does not produce tachycardia). With the O 2 concentration in the venous return staying the same, and the O 2 consumption staying the same, there is no place in the body where there is a reduction in O 2 concentration. Compensation during isovolemic anemia may not occur because of O 2 sensing.
  • vasodilatation that is observed in acute isovolemic anemia may be due to the increased NO concentration at the vessel wall.
  • NO mediates dilatation of vessels in response to shear stress and other factors.
  • No change in levels of NO metabolites would be observed, because the production rate of NO is unchanged and continues to equal the destruction rate.
  • the observation of no “hypoxic” compensation with metHb substitution can be understood because metHb binds NO just as Hb does, so there is no NO concentration increase with metHb substitution as there is with Hb withdrawal.
  • Nitric oxide plays a role in many metabolic pathways. It has been suggested that a basal level of NO exerts a tonal inhibitory response, and that reduction of this basal level leads to a dis-inhibition of those pathways. Zanzinger et al. have reported that NO has been shown to inhibit basal sympathetic tone and attenuate excitatory reflexes. (Inhibition of basal and reflex-mediated sympathetic activity in the RVLM by nitric oxide. Am. J. Physiol. 268 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 37): R958-R962, 1995.)
  • one component of a volume source of NO is low molecular weight S-nitrosothiols produced in the erythrocyte free skin from NO produced on the external skin by ammonia oxidizing bacteria. These low molecular weight S-nitrosothiols are stable for long periods, and can diffuse and circulate freely in the plasma. Various enzymes can cleave the NO from various S-nitrosothiols liberating NO at the enzyme site. It is the loss of this volume source of NO from AOB on the skin that leads to disruptions in normal physiology.
  • the advantage to the body of using S-nitrosothiols to generate NO far from a capillary is that O 2 is not required for NO production from S-nitrosothiols.
  • Production of NO from nitric oxide synthase (NOS) does require O 2 .

  • NO has a role in the development of cancer, indicating that the bacteria described herein may be used in methods of cancer treatment and prevention.
  • the presence of NO during hypoxia may prevent cells from dividing while under hypoxic stress, when cells are at greater risk for errors in copying DNA.
  • One relevant cell function is the regulation of the cell cycle. This is the regulatory program which controls how and when the cell replicates DNA, assembles it into duplicate chromosomes, and divides. The regulation of the cell cycle is extremely complex, and is not fully understood. However, it is known that there are many points along the path of the cell cycle where the cycle can be arrested and division halted until conditions for doing so have improved.
  • the p53 tumor suppressor protein is a key protein in the regulation of the cell cycle, and it serves to initiate both cell arrest and apoptosis from diverse cell stress signals including DNA damage and p53 is mutated in over half of human cancers as reported by Ashcroft et al. in “Stress Signals Utilize Multiple Pathways To Stabilize p53.” (Molecular And Cellular Biology, May 2000, p. 3224-3233.) Hypoxia does initiate accumulation of p53, and while hypoxia is important in regulating the cell cycle, hypoxia alone fails to induce the downstream expression of p53 mRNA effector proteins and so fails to cause arrest of the cell cycle.

  • capillary rarefaction affects a subject's ability to control their appetite.
  • Capillary rarefaction is observed in the brains of aged humans and animals. Capillary rarefaction is associated with declines in circulating growth factors including insulin like growth factor-1.

  • Adverse health effects that are associated with hypertension may also be consequences of low basal NO.
  • the decreased response to vasodilatation is also consistent with low basal NO.
  • NO is a diffusible molecule that diffuses from a source to a sensor site where it has the signaling effect. With low NO levels, every NO source must produce more NO to generate an equivalent NO signal of a certain intensity a certain distance away. NO diffuses in three dimensions and the whole volume within that diffusion range must be raised to the level that will give the proper signal at the sensor location. This may result in higher NO levels at the source and between the source and the sensor. Adverse local effects of elevated NO near a source may then arise from too low a NO background. There is some evidence that this scenario actual occurs.
  • Attempting to produce NO at a rate that exceeds the supply of BH4 or L-arginine may instead decrease NO levels. This may result in positive feedback where low NO levels are made worse by stimulation of NOS, and uncoupled NOS generates significant O 2 ⁇ which causes local reactive oxygen species (ROS) damage such as is observed in atherosclerosis, end stage renal disease, Alzheimer's, and diabetes.

  • NF- ⁇ B is a transcription factor that up-regulates gene expression and many of these genes are associated with inflammation and the immune response including genes which cause the release of cytokines, chemokines, and various adhesion factors. These various immune factors cause the migration of immune cells to the site of their release resulting in the inflammation response.
  • Constitutive NO production has been shown to inhibit NF- ⁇ B by stabilizing I ⁇ B ⁇ (an inhibitor of NF- ⁇ B) by preventing I ⁇ B ⁇ degradation.
  • Low basal NO may lead to autism via the mechanism that new connections in the brain are insufficiently formed as a result of insufficient basal nitric oxide. While not wishing to be bound in theory, in some embodiments, formation of neural connections is modulated by NO. In these cases, any condition that lowers the range of NO diffusion may decrease the volume size of brain elements that can undergo connections. A brain which developed under conditions of low basal NO levels may be arranged in smaller volume elements because the reduced effective range of NO.
  • Additional symptoms exhibited in autistic individuals may also point to low NO as a cause, including increased pitch discrimination, gut disturbances, immune system dysfunction, reduced cerebral blood flow, increased glucose consumption of the brain, increased plasma lactate, attachment disorders, and humming. Each of these symptoms may be attributed to a low basal NO level.

They are widely present both in soil and water environments and are essential components of environmental nitrification processes. Due to the roles of nitrite and nitric oxide on human skin as important components of several physiological functions, such as vasodilation, skin inflammation and wound healing, these bacteria may have beneficial properties for both healthy and immunopathological skin conditions. These bacteria may be safe for use in humans because they are slow-growing, cannot grow on organic carbon sources, may be sensitive to soaps and antibiotics, and have never been associated with any disease or infection in animals or humans.
  • Topical application of ammonia oxidizing bacteria to a subject may lead to unexpected changes in the skin microbiome, and more specifically it may lead to increases in the proportion of normal commensal non-pathogenic species and reductions in the proportion of potentially pathogenic, pathogenic, or disease causing organisms.

  • SEQUENCE LISTING
  • The instant application contains a Sequence Listing which has been submitted electronically in ASCII format and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Said ASCII copy, created on Apr. 13, 2015, is named N2060-7001WO.txt and is 3,590,980 bytes in size.
  • BACKGROUND
  • Beneficial bacteria can be used to suppress the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Bacteria and other microorganisms are ubiquitous in the environment. The discovery of pathogenic bacteria and the germ theory of disease have had a tremendous effect on health and disease states. Bacteria are a normal part of the environment of all living things. In the gut, these bacteria are not pathogenic under normal conditions, and in fact improve health by rendering the normal intestinal contents less hospitable for disease causing organisms. Disease prevention is accomplished in a number of ways: nutrients are consumed, leaving less for pathogens; conditions are produced, such as pH and oxygen tension, which are not hospitable for pathogens; compounds are produced that are toxic to pathogens; pathogens are consumed as food by these microorganisms; less physical space remains available for pathogens; and specific binding sites are occupied leaving fewer binding sites available for pathogens. The presence of these desirable bacteria is seen as useful in preventing disease states.
  • There is a need in the art for improved beneficial bacteria that can suppress the growth of pathogenic bacteria.

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) of the genus Nitrosomonas are Gram-negative obligate autotrophic bacteria with a unique capacity to generate nitrite and nitric oxide exclusively from ammonia as an energy source. They are widely present both in soil and water environments and are essential components of environmental nitrification processes. Due to the roles of nitrite and nitric oxide on human skin as important components of several physiological functions, such as vasodilation, skin inflammation and wound healing, these bacteria may have beneficial properties for both healthy and immunopathological skin conditions. These bacteria may be safe for use in humans because they are slow-growing, cannot grow on organic carbon sources, may be sensitive to soaps and antibiotics, and have never been associated with any disease or infection in animals or humans.
  • 1. DEFINITIONS
  • An ammonia oxidizing bacterium refers to a bacterium capable of oxidizing ammonia or ammonium to nitrite at a rate, e.g., a substantial rate, e.g., a pre-determined rate, e.g., at least the rate depicted in any one of FIG. 2A, 2B, 2C, 4A, 4B, or 5 or at least 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, or 10% of that rate. In some embodiments, the substantial rate refers to the conversion of ammonium ions (NH4 +)(e.g., at about 200 mM) to nitrite (NO2 ) at a rate of at least 50, 75, 125, or 150 micromoles NO2 per minute, e.g., about 100-150, 75-175, 75-125, 100-125, 125-150, or 125-175 micromoles/minute, e.g., about 125 micromoles NO2 per minute. Examples of ammonia oxidizing bacteria include N. eutropha strains D23 and C91, and other bacteria in the genera Nitrosomonas, Nitrosococcus, Nitrosospira, Nitrosocystis, Nitrosolobus, and Nitrosovibrio. D23 Nitrosomonas eutropha strain refers to the strain, designated AOB D23-100, deposited with the American Tissue Culture Collection (ATCC) on Apr. 8, 2014 having accession number PTA-121157. The D23 Nitrosomonas eutropha of accession number PTA-121157 has a genome sequence as set out in SEQ ID NO: 1 herein. The nucleic acid sequence(s), e.g., genome sequence, of accession number PTA-121157 are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.
  • Optimized Nitrosomonas eutropha (N. eutropha), as that term is used herein, refers to an N. eutropha having an optimized growth rate; an optimized NH4 + oxidation rate; or optimized resistance to NH4 +. In an embodiment it differs from naturally occurring N. eutropha by at least one nucleotide, e.g., a nucleotide in a gene selected from ammonia monooxygenase, hydroxylamine oxidoreductase, cytochrome c554, and cytochrome cM552. The difference can arise, e.g., through selection of spontaneously arising mutation, induced mutation, or directed genetic engineering, of the N. eutropha. In an embodiment it differs from a naturally occurring N. eutropha in that it has a constellation of alleles, not present together in nature. These differences may provide for one or more of a treatment or prevention of a skin disorder, a treatment or prevention of a disease or condition associated with low nitrite levels, a treatment or prevention of body odor, a treatment to supply nitric oxide to a subject, and a treatment to inhibit microbial growth.
  • As used herein, “axenic” refers to a composition comprising an organism that is substantially free of other organisms. For example, an axenic culture of ammonia oxidizing bacteria is a culture that is substantially free of organisms other than ammonia oxidizing bacteria. For example, an axenic culture of N. eutropha is a culture that is substantially free of organisms other than N. eutropha. In some embodiments, “substantially free” denotes undetectable by a method used to detect other organisms, e.g., plating the culture and examining colony morphology, or PCR for a conserved gene such as 16S RNA. An axenic composition may comprise elements that are not organisms, e.g., it may comprise nutrients or excipients. Any embodiment, preparation, composition, or formulation of ammonia oxidizing bacteria discussed herein may comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of optionally axenic ammonia oxidizing bacteria.
  • Throughout this disclosure, formulation may refer to a composition or preparation.
  • As used herein, an “autotroph”, e.g., an autotrophic bacterium, is any organism capable of self-nourishment by using inorganic materials as a source of nutrients and using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis as a source of energy. Autotrophic bacteria may synthesize organic compounds from carbon dioxide and ATP derived from other sources, oxidation of ammonia to nitrite, oxidation of hydrogen sulfide, and oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+ Autotrophic bacteria of the present disclosure are incapable of causing infection.
  • Administered “in combination,” as used herein, means that two (or more) different treatments are delivered to the subject during the course of the subject's affliction with the disorder, e.g., the two or more treatments are delivered after the subject has been diagnosed with the disorder and before the disorder has been cured or eliminated. In some embodiments, the delivery of one treatment is still occurring when the delivery of the second begins, so that there is overlap. This is sometimes referred to herein as “simultaneous” or “concomitant” or “concurrent delivery”. In other embodiments, the delivery of one treatment ends before the delivery of the other treatment begins. This is sometimes referred to herein as “successive” or “sequential delivery.” In embodiments of either case, the treatment is more effective because of combined administration. For example, the second treatment is a more effective, e.g., an equivalent effect is seen with less of the second treatment, or the second treatment reduces symptoms to a greater extent, than would be seen if the second treatment were administered in the absence of the first treatment, or the analogous situation is seen with the first treatment. In some embodiments, delivery is such that the reduction in a symptom, or other parameter related to the disorder is greater than what would be observed with one treatment delivered in the absence of the other. The effect of the two treatments can be partially additive, wholly additive, or greater than additive (i.e., synergistic). The delivery can be such that an effect of the first treatment delivered is still detectable when the second is delivered.
  • Complete N. europaea medium refers to the N. europaea growth medium described in Ensign et al., “In vitro activation of ammonia monooxygenase from Nitrosomonas europaea by copper.” J Bacteriol. 1993 April; 175(7):1971-80.
  • To “culture” refers to a process of placing an amount of a desired bacterium under conditions that promote its growth, i.e., promoting cell division. The conditions can involve a specified culture medium, a set temperature range, and/or an agitation rate. Bacteria can be cultured in a liquid culture or on plates, e.g., agar plates.
  • The term “isolated,” as used herein, refers to material that is removed from its original or native environment (e.g., the natural environment if it is naturally occurring). For example, a naturally-occurring polynucleotide or polypeptide present in a living animal is not isolated, but the same polynucleotide or polypeptide, separated by human intervention from some or all of the co-existing materials in the natural system, is isolated. Such polynucleotides could be part of a vector and/or such polynucleotides or polypeptides could be part of a composition, and still be isolated in that such vector or composition is not part of the environment in which it is found in nature.
  • The terms “nucleic acid,” “nucleic acid sequence,” “nucleotide sequence,” or “polynucleotide sequence,” and “polynucleotide” are used interchangeably. They refer to a polymeric form of nucleotides of any length, e.g., deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides, or analogs thereof. The polynucleotide may be either single-stranded or double-stranded, and if single-stranded may be the coding strand or non-coding (antisense) strand. A polynucleotide may comprise modified nucleotides, such as methylated nucleotides and nucleotide analogs. The sequence of nucleotides may be interrupted by non-nucleotide components. A polynucleotide may be further modified after polymerization, such as by conjugation with a labeling component.
  • The nucleic acid may be a recombinant polynucleotide, or a polynucleotide of genomic, cDNA, semisynthetic, or synthetic origin which either does not occur in nature or is linked to another polynucleotide in a nonnatural arrangement.
  • As used herein, the term “optimized growth rate” refers to one or more of: a doubling time of less than about 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 hours when cultured under batch conditions as described herein in Example 2; a doubling time of less than about 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, or 26 hours, when grown under chemostat conditions as described herein in Example 2; or growing from an OD600 of about 0.15 to at least about 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, or 0.8 over about 1 or 2 days. In an embodiment, optimized growth rate is one having a doubling time that it is at least 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50% shorter than that of a naturally occurring N. eutropha.
  • As used herein, “optimized NH4 + oxidation rate” refers to a rate of at least about 50, 75, 125, or 150 micromoles per minute of converting NH3 or NH4 + into NO2 . For instance, the rate may be at least about 50, 75, 125, or 150 micromoles per minute of converting NH4 + (e.g., at about 200 mM) to NO2 . In an embodiment, an optimized NH4 + oxidation rate is one in which NH3 or NH4 + is converted into NO2 ′ at least 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50% more rapidly than is seen with a naturally occurring N. eutropha.
  • Percent (%) amino acid sequence identity, with respect to the amino acid sequences here (e.g., proteins expressed by N. eutropha D23) is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the amino acid residues in the reference sequence, which may be a naturally-occurring N. eutropha sequence or an N. eutropha D23 sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the means of those skilled in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, ALIGN or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full length of the sequences being compared. For instance, the WU-BLAST-2 software may be used to determine amino acid sequence identity (Altschul et al, Methods in Enzymology 266, 460-480 (1996); http://blast.wustl/edu/blast/README.html). WU-BLAST-2 uses several search parameters, most of which are set to the default values. The adjustable parameters are set with the following values: overlap span=1, overlap fraction=0.125, world threshold (T)=I 1. HSP score (S) and HSP S2 parameters are dynamic values and are established by the program itself, depending upon the composition of the particular sequence, however, the minimum values may be adjusted as appropriate.
  • Amino acid substitutions can be the result of replacing one amino acid with another amino acid having similar structural and/or chemical properties, such as the replacement of a leucine with a serine, i.e., conservative amino acid replacements. Typical but not limiting conservative substitutions are the replacements, for one another, among the aliphatic amino acids Ala, Val, Leu and Ile; interchange of Ser and Thr containing hydroxy residues, interchange of the acidic residues Asp and Glu, interchange between the amide-containing residues Asn and Gln, interchange of the basic residues Lys and Arg, interchange of the aromatic residues Phe and Tyr, and interchange of the small-sized amino acids Ala, Ser, Thr, Met and Gly. Additional conservative substitutions include the replacement of an amino acid by another of similar spatial or steric configuration, for example the interchange of Asn for Asp, or Gln for Glu. Amino acid substitutions can also be the result of replacing one amino acid with another amino acid having dis-similar structural and/or chemical properties, i.e., non-conservative amino acid replacements. Insertions or deletions may optionally be in the range of 1 to 5 amino acids. The variation allowed may be determined by systematically making insertions, deletions or substitutions of amino acids in the sequence and testing the resulting variants for activity in the in vivo or in vitro assays for, e.g., metabolizing urea or ammonia.
  • Percent (%) sequence identity with respect to the nucleic acid sequences here (e.g., the N. eutropha D23 genome and portions thereof) is defined as the percentage of nucleotides in a candidate sequence that are identical with the nucleotides in the reference sequence, which may be a naturally-occurring N. eutropha sequence or an N. eutropha D23 sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent nucleotide sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the means of those skilled in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full length of the sequences being compared.
  • The terms “polypeptide”, “peptide” and “protein” (if single chain) are used interchangeably herein to refer to amino acid polymers. The polymer may be linear or branched, it may comprise modified amino acids, and it may be interrupted by non-amino acids. The terms also encompass an amino acid polymer that has been modified; for example, disulfide bond formation, glycosylation, lipidation, acetylation, phosphorylation, or any other manipulation, such as conjugation with a labeling component. The polypeptide can be isolated from natural sources, can be a produced by recombinant techniques from a eukaryotic or prokaryotic host, or can be a product of synthetic procedures.
  • As used herein, “optimized resistance to NH4 +” refers to an ability to grow in conditions of greater than 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, or 300 mM NH3 or NH4 + for at least about 24 or 48 hours. In an embodiment, an optimized resistance to NH4 + refers to the ability to grow at least 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50% more rapidly, or at least 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50% longer, in the presence of a selected concentration of NH3 or NH4 + than can a naturally occurring N. eutropha.
  • As used herein with respect to a comparison between nucleic acid or protein sequences, “similar” means having homology. A similar gene or protein may comprise, e.g., substitutions (such as conservative or non-conservative substitutions), insertions (e.g., of at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 amino acids, and for example up to 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, or 50 amino acids, or any positive combination thereof, or the number of nucleotides necessary to encode said amino acids), or deletions (e.g., of at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 amino acids, and for example up to 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, or 50 amino acids, or any positive combination thereof, or the number of nucleotides necessary to encode said amino acids), or any combination thereof. Each of substitutions, insertions, and deletions may be positioned at the N-terminus, C-terminus, or a central region of the protein or gene. In embodiments, a conservative substitution is one that does not alter the charge and/or polarity and/or approximate size and/or geometry at the substituted position.
  • As used herein, “transgenic” means comprising one or more exogenous portions of DNA. The exogenous DNA is derived from another organism, e.g., another bacterium, a bacteriophage, an animal, or a plant.
  • As used herein, treatment of a disease or condition refers to reducing the severity or frequency of at least one symptom of that disease or condition, compared to a similar but untreated patient. Treatment can also refer to halting, slowing, or reversing the progression of a disease or condition, compared to a similar but untreated patient. Treatment may comprise addressing the root cause of the disease and/or one or more symptoms.
  • As used herein a therapeutically effective amount refers to a dose sufficient to prevent advancement, or to cause regression of a disease or condition, or which is capable of relieving a symptom of a disease or condition, or which is capable of achieving a desired result. A therapeutically effective dose can be measured, for example, as a number of bacteria or number of viable bacteria (e.g., in CFUs) or a mass of bacteria (e.g., in milligrams, grams, or kilograms), or a volume of bacteria (e.g., in mm3).
  • As used herein, the term “viability” refers to the autotrophic bacteria's, e.g., ammonia oxidizing bacteria's, ability to oxidize ammonia, ammonium, or urea to nitrite at a pre-determined rate. In some embodiments, the rate refers to the conversion of ammonium ions (NH4 +) (e.g., at about 200 mM) to nitrite (NO2 ) at a rate of at least 50, 75, 125, or 150 micromoles NO2 per minute, e.g., about 100-150, 75-175, 75-125, 100-125, 125-150, or 125-175 micromoles/minute, e.g., about 125 micromoles NO2 per minute.
  • “Growth media” or “AOB media,” as referred to herein comprises the following components of Table 3 or Table 4 herein.
  • In some embodiments, the states most relevant to the present disclosure are the state of growth, e.g., maximal growth, characterized by a pH of at least about 7.6, ammonia, trace minerals, oxygen and carbon dioxide. Another state may be characterized by a pH of about 7.4 or less and characterized by an absence of carbon dioxide. Under low carbon dioxide conditions, ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., Nitrosomonas, continues to oxidize ammonia into nitrite and generates ATP, but lacking carbon dioxide, e.g., lacking sufficient carbon dioxide, to fix and generate protein, it instead generates polyphosphate, which it uses as an energy storage medium. This may allow the ammonia oxidizing bacteria to remain in a “storage state” for a period of time, e.g., a pre-determined period of time, for example, at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, days, 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 months, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 years. In some embodiments, the ammonia oxidizing bacteria may remain in a storage state for at least about 6 months to about 1 year.
  • As used herein, “growth state” refers to autotrophic bacteria, e.g., ammonia oxidizing bacteria, in a state or in an environment, e.g., a media, e.g., a culture media, e.g., a growth media, that may have a pH of at least about 7.6. Levels of at least one of ammonia, ammonium ions, and urea may be between about 1 micromolar and 1000 millimolar. Levels of trace materials are between about 0.01 micromolar iron and 200 micromolar iron. Levels of oxygen are between about 5% and 100% oxygen saturation (e.g., of media). Levels of carbon dioxide are between about 20 ppm and 10% saturation (e.g., of media). In certain aspects, levels of at least one of ammonia, ammonium ions, and urea may be between about 10 micromolar and 100 millimolar. Levels of trace materials are between about 0.1 micromolar iron and 20 micromolar iron. Levels of oxygen are between about 5% and 100% oxygen saturation. Levels of carbon dioxide are between about 200 ppm and 5% saturation (e.g., of media).
  • As used herein, “polyphosphate loading state” refers to autotrophic bacteria, e.g., ammonia oxidizing bacteria, in a state or in an environment, e.g., a media, e.g., a culture media, e.g., a growth media, that may have a pH of about 7.4, or less. Levels of at least one of ammonia, ammonium ions, and urea are between about 1 micromolar and 2000 millimolar. Levels of trace materials are between 0.01 micromolar iron and 200 micromolar iron. Levels of oxygen are between about 0% and 100% 02 saturation (e.g., of media). Levels of carbon dioxide are between/less than about zero and 400 ppm, and phosphate levels greater than about 1 micromolar. In certain aspects, levels of at least one of ammonia, ammonium ions, and urea are between about 10 micromolar and 200 millimolar. Levels of trace materials are between 0.1 micromolar iron and 20 micromolar iron. Levels of oxygen are between about 5% and 100% 02 saturation. Levels of carbon dioxide are between/less than about zero and 200 ppm, and phosphate levels greater than about 10 micromolar.
  • The polyphosphate loading state may be induced for a period of time, e.g., a pre-determined period of time. The pre-determined period of time may the time period that allows sufficient polyphosphate accumulation in the ammonia oxidizing bacteria. This pre-determined period of time is the period of time suitable to provide for sufficient polyphosphate loading to allow for the ammonia oxidizing bacteria to be stored for an extended period of time. The pre-determined period of time may be at least partially based on a period of time of about 0.2-10 times, 0.3-5 times, 0.5-3 times, 0.5-1.5 times, or 0.5 to 1 times the doubling time for the ammonia oxidizing bacteria. The pre-determined period of time may be at least partially based on a period of time of about one doubling time for the ammonia oxidizing bacteria. In some embodiments, the pre-determined period of time is between about 8 hours and 12 hours. In some embodiments, the pre-determined period of time is about 10 hours. In some embodiments, the pre-determined period of time is about 24 hours.
  • A purpose of the polyphosphate loading state may be to provide AOB with sufficient ammonia, ammonium ions, and/or urea, and O2 such that ATP can be produced, but to deny them CO2 and carbonate such that they are unable to use that ATP to fix CO2 and instead use that ATP to generate polyphosphate which may be stored by the bacteria.
  • As used herein, the term “storage state” refers to autotrophic bacteria, e.g., ammonia oxidizing bacteria, in a state or in an environment, e.g., a media, e.g., a culture media, e.g., a growth media, having a pH of about 7.4 or less (in some embodiments, the pH may be 7.6 or less). Levels of at least one of ammonia, ammonium ions, and urea are between about _1 and 1000 micromolar. Levels of trace materials are between about 0.1 and 100 micromolar. Levels of oxygen are between about 0 and 100% saturation (e.g., of media). Levels of carbon dioxide are between about 0 and 800 ppm. In certain aspects, levels of at least one of ammonia, ammonium ions, and urea are between about _10 and 100 micromolar. Levels of trace materials are between about 1 and 10 micromolar. Levels of oxygen are between about 0 and 100% saturation (e.g., of media). Levels of carbon dioxide are between about 0 and 400 ppm.
  • AOB are produced according to some embodiments of the present disclosure by generating AOB biomass during a growth state, then exposing the AOB to a polyphosphate loading state and then removing the media and resuspending the AOB in a buffer, e.g., a storage buffer (i.e., the storage state).
  • The ammonia oxidizing bacteria may remain in a “storage state” for a period of time, e.g., a pre-determined period of time, for example, at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, days, 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 months, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 years. In some embodiments, the ammonia oxidizing bacteria may remain in a storage state for at least about 6 months to about 1 year. Upon revival, the viability of the ammonia oxidizing bacteria is at least about 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100% of the viability as of the ammonia oxidizing bacteria prior to storage e.g., in a growth state). In some embodiments, the preparation of ammonia oxidizing bacteria may be prepared, such that no more than 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, or 70% of the ability to oxidize NH4 + is lost upon storage at selected conditions.
  • The time that it takes to revive the ammonia oxidizing bacteria from a storage state (or a polyphosphate loading state) may be a pre-determined period of time. For example, the pre-determined period of time may be less than about 75 hours, or less than about 72 hours. The pre-determined period of time may at least partially based on a period time of about 0.2-10 times, 0.3-5 times, 0.5-3 times, 0.5-1.5 times, or 0.5 to 1 times the doubling time for the ammonia oxidizing bacteria. The pre-determined period of time may be at least partially based on a period of time of about one doubling time for the ammonia oxidizing bacteria. The pre-determined period of time may be between about 8 hours and 12 hours. The pre-determined period of time may be about 10 hours. The pre-determined time may be less than about 75 hours, 72 hours, 70 hours, 68 hours, 65 hours, 60 hours, 55 hours, 50 hours, 45 hours, 40 hours, 35 hours, 30 hours, 25 hours, 20 hours, 15 hours, 10 hours, 5 hours, 4 hours, 3, hours, 2 hours, or 1 hour. The pre-determined period of time may be between about 5 minutes and 5 hours. The pre-determined period of time may be about 5-10 minutes, 10-15 minutes, 15-20 minutes, 20-25 minutes, 25-30 minutes, 30-45 minutes, 45-60 minutes, 60 minutes-1.5 hours, 1.5 hours-2 hours, 2 hours-2.5 hours, 2.5 hours-3 hours, 3 hours-3.5 hours, 3.5 hours-4 hours, 4 hours-4.5 hours, 4.5 hours-5 hours. In some embodiments, the pre-determined period of time may be about 2 hours. The pre-determined period of time, e.g., may be the time it may take to achieve revival of the ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., achieve viability of the ammonia oxidizing bacteria as compared to the viability of the bacteria prior to storage (e.g., in a growth state), e.g., at least about 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% viability.
  • 2. AMMONIA OXIDIZING BACTERIA (AOBS), N. EUTROPHA STRAIN D23 AND SIMILAR BACTERIA
  • Autotrophic ammonia oxidizing bacteria, which may be referred to herein as AOBs or AOB, are obligate autotrophic bacteria as noted by Alan B. Hooper and A. Krummel at al. Alan B. Hooper, Biochemical Basis of Obligate Autotrophy in Nitrosomonas europaea, Journal of Bacteriology, February 1969, p. 776-779. Antje Krummel et al., Effect of Organic Matter on Growth and Cell Yield of Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria, Arch Microbiol (1982) 133: 50-54. These bacteria derive all metabolic energy only from the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite with nitric oxide (NO) as an intermediate product in their respiration chain and derive virtually all carbon by fixing carbon dioxide. They are incapable of utilizing carbon sources other than a few simple molecules.
  • Ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) are widely found in the environment, and in the presence of ammonia, oxygen and trace metals will fix carbon dioxide and proliferate. AOB may be slow growing and toxic levels of ammonia may kill fish and other organisms before AOB can proliferate and reduce ammonia to non-toxic levels. Slow growth of AOB also may delay the health benefits of the NO and nitrite the AOB produce when applied to the skin.
  • Supplementing the aquarium, skin, or process with sufficient viable AOB grown and stored for that purpose is desired. AOB do not form spores, so storage in the dry state with high viability is difficult, and storage in the wet state leaves them metabolically active. Decay of nitrifying capacity during storage of AOB for wastewater treatment has been studied, as for example (Munz G, Lubello C, Oleszkiewicz J A. Modeling the decay of ammonium oxidizing bacteria. Water Res. 2011 January; 45(2): 557-64. Oi: 10.1016/j.watres.2010.09.022.)
  • Growth, prolonged storage, and restoration of activity of Nitrosomonas is discussed by Cassidy et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 5,314,542) where they disclose growing Nitrosomonas, removing toxic waste products, storing in sterile water of appropriate salinity for periods of time up to one year, and then reviving by adding buffer (CaCO3) and 200 ppm, of ammonium, which reviving takes 72 hours.
  • As obligate autotrophs, AOB synthesize protein via the fixing of CO2 using the energy and reducing equivalents generated by the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite. Growth requires ammonia, oxygen, minerals and carbon dioxide.
  • Nitrosomonas may exist in several metabolic states, according to “Polyphosphate and Orthophosphate Content of Nitrosomonas europaea as a Function of Growth” by K. R. Terry and A. B. Hooper, Journal of Bacteriology, July 1970, p. 199-206, Vol. 103, No. I.
  • In certain embodiments of the disclosure, the ammonia oxidizing bacteria may be axenic. The preparation (formulation or composition) of ammonia oxidizing bacteria may comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of axenic ammonia oxidizing bacteria. The ammonia oxidizing bacteria may be from a genus selected from the group consisting of Nitrosomonas, Nitrosococcus, Nitrosospria, Nitrosocystis, Nitrosolobus, Nitrosovibrio, and combinations thereof.
  • This disclosure provides, inter alia, N. eutropha strain D23, a unique, e.g., optimized strain of ammonia oxidizing bacteria that can increase production of nitric oxide and nitric oxide precursors on the surface of a subject, e.g., a human subject. This disclosure also provides methods of using the bacteria and articles comprising the bacteria.
  • In embodiments, the N. eutropha is non-naturally occurring. For instance, it may have accumulated desirable mutations during a period of selection. In other embodiments, desirable mutations may be introduced by an experimenter. In some embodiments, the N. eutropha may be a purified preparation, and may be an optimized N. eutropha.
  • In preferred embodiments, the N. eutropha strain is autotrophic and so incapable of causing infection. A preferred strain utilizes urea as well as ammonia, so that hydrolysis of the urea in sweat would not be necessary prior to absorption and utilization by the bacteria. Also, in order to grow at low pH, the bacteria may either absorb NH4 + ions or urea. The selected strain should also be capable of living on the external skin of a subject, e.g., a human, and be tolerant of conditions there.
  • Although this disclosure refers to N. eutropha strain D23 in detail, the preparations, methods, compositions, treatments, wearable articles, and articles of clothing may be used with one or more of: one or more other strains of N. eutropha, one or more other species of Nitrosomonas, and one or more other ammonia oxidizing bacteria. Autotrophic AOBs are obligate autotrophic bacteria as noted by Alan B. Hooper and A. Krummel at al. Alan B.

  • It is understood that the paragraphs above, which refer to sequence characteristics of various N. eutropha proteins, also describe the sequences of nucleic acids that encode these proteins.
  • The sequencing analysis described herein revealed that strain D23 lacks plasmids. Consequently, in some embodiments, the N. eutropha bacterium lacks plasmids, i.e., all of its DNA is contained in the chromosome. In some embodiments, the N. eutropha bacterium lacks endogenous plasmids, but carries one or more transgenic plasmids.
  • This D23 strain is not believed to be a product of nature, but rather has acquired certain mutations and characteristics during an extended period of culture and selection in the laboratory. For instance, D23 has an ability to grow in conditions of greater than about 200 or 250 mM NH4 + for more than 24 hours.
  • In some embodiments, the N. eutropha disclosed herein differ from naturally occurring bacteria in the abundance of siderophores. For instance, the N. eutropha may have elevated or reduced levels of siderophores compared to N. eutropha C91. Generally, siderophores are secreted iron-chelating compounds that help bacteria scavenge iron from their environment. Some siderophores are peptides, and others are small organic molecules.
  • The AOBs, for example, N. eutropha contemplated in this disclosure may comprise mutations relative to wild-type N. eutropha and/or the N. eutropha sequences disclosed herein. These mutations may, e.g., occur spontaneously, be introduced by random mutagenesis, or be introduced by targeted mutagenesis. For instance, the N. eutropha may lack one or more genes or regulatory DNA sequences that wild-type N. eutropha typically comprises. The N. eutropha may also comprise point mutations, substitutions, insertions, deletions, and/or rearrangements relative to the sequenced strain or a wild-type strain. The N. eutropha may be a purified preparation of optimized N. eutropha.
  • In certain embodiments, the N. eutropha is transgenic. For instance, it may comprise one or more genes or regulatory DNA sequences that wild-type N. eutropha D23 lacks. More particularly, the N. eutropha may comprise, for instance, a reporter gene, a selective marker, a gene encoding an enzyme, or a promoter (including an inducible or repressible promoter). In some embodiments the additional gene or regulatory DNA sequence is integrated into the bacterial chromosome; in some embodiments the additional gene or regulatory DNA sequence is situated on a plasmid, for instance a plasmid related to a plasmid found in N. eutropha N91.
  • In some preferred embodiments, the N. eutropha differs by at least one nucleotide from naturally occurring bacteria. For instance, the N. eutropha may differ from naturally occurring bacteria in a gene or protein that is part of a relevant pathway, e.g., an ammonia metabolism pathway, a urea metabolism pathway, or a pathway for producing nitric oxide or nitric oxide precursors. More particularly, the N. eutropha may comprise a mutation that elevates activity of the pathway, e.g., by increasing levels or activity of an element of that pathway.
  • The above-mentioned mutations can be introduced using any suitable technique. Numerous methods are known for introducing mutations into a given position. For instance, one could use site-directed mutagenesis, oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis, or site-specific mutagenesis. Non-limiting examples of specific mutagenesis protocols are described in, e.g., Mutagenesis, pp. 13.1-13.105 (Sambrook and Russell, eds., Molecular Cloning A Laboratory Manual, Vol. 3, 3.sup.rd ed. 2001). In addition, non-limiting examples of well-characterized mutagenesis protocols available from commercial vendors include, without limitation, Altered Sites® II in vitro Mutagenesis Systems (Promega Corp., Madison, Wis.); Erase-a-Base® System (Promega, Madison, Wis.); GeneTailor™ Site-Directed Mutagenesis System (Invitrogen, Inc., Carlsbad, Calif.); QuikChange® II Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kits (Stratagene, La Jolla, Calif.); and Transformer™ Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit (BD-Clontech, Mountain View, Calif.).
  • In some embodiments, the preparation of ammonia oxidizing bacteria may comprise a concentration or amount of ammonia oxidizing bacteria in order to at least partially treat a condition or disease. The preparation of ammonia oxidizing bacteria may comprise a concentration or amount of ammonia oxidizing bacteria in order to alter, e.g., reduce or increase, an amount, concentration or proportion of a bacterium, or genus of bacteria, on a surface, e.g., a skin surface. The bacteria may be non-pathogenic or pathogenic, or potentially pathogenic.
  • In some embodiments, the preparation of ammonia oxidizing bacteria may comprise between about 108 to about 1014 CFU/L. The preparation may comprise at least 108, 109, 1010, 1011, 2×1011, 5×1011, 1012, 2×1012, 5×1012, 1013, 2×1013, 5×1013, or 1014; or about 108-109, 109-1010, 1011-1011, 1011-1012, 1012-1013, or 1013-1014 CFU/L. In certain aspects, the preparation may comprise between about 1×109 CFU/L to about 10×109 CFU/L. In certain aspects, the preparation may comprise between about 1×109 CFU to about 10×109 CFU.
  • In some embodiments, the preparation of ammonia oxidizing bacteria may comprise between about 0.1 milligrams (mg) and about 1000 mg of ammonia oxidizing bacteria. In certain aspects, the preparation may comprise between about 50 mg and about 1000 mg of ammonia oxidizing bacteria. The preparation may comprise between about 0.1-0.5 mg, 0.2-0.7 mg, 0.5-1.0 mg, 0.5-2 mg, 0.5-5 mg, 2.5-5 mg, 2.5-7.0 mg, 5.0-10 mg, 7.5-15 mg, 10-15 mg, 15-20 mg, 15-25 mg, 20-30 mg, 25-50 mg, 25-75 mg, 50-75 mg, 50-100 mg, 75-100 mg, 100-200 mg, 200-300 mg, 300-400 mg, 400-500 mg, 500-600 mg, 600-700 mg, 700-800 mg, 800-900 mg, 900-1000 mg, 100-250 mg, 250-500 mg, 100-500 mg, 500-750 mg, 750-1000 mg, or 500-1000 mg.
  • In some embodiments, the preparation of ammonia oxidizing bacteria may comprise a mass ratio of ammonia oxidizing bacteria to an excipient, e.g., a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or a cosmetically acceptable excipient in a range of about 0.1 grams per liter to about 1 gram per liter. The preparation may comprise a mass ratio of ammonia oxidizing bacteria to an excipient in a range of about 0.1-0.2, 0.2-0.3, 0.1-0.5, 0.2-0.7, 0.5-1.0, or 0.7-1.0 grams per liter.
  • In some embodiments, the preparation of ammonia oxidizing bacteria may be in a growth state. A growth state may be provided by exposing ammonia oxidizing bacteria to an environment that may promote growth. The growth state may be a state, e.g., ammonia oxidizing bacteria in an environment that allows immediate availability of ammonia oxidizing bacteria to convert ammonium ions (NH4 +) to nitrite (NO2 ). The growth state may comprise providing ammonia oxidizing bacteria in an environment having a pH of greater than about 7.6. The growth state may also comprise providing ammonia oxidizing bacteria in an environment having ammonia, ammonium salts, and/or urea, trace minerals and sufficient oxygen and carbon dioxide, as described above in Section 1.
  • In some embodiments, the preparation of ammonia oxidizing bacteria may be in a polyphosphate loading state, wherein the state or the environment, e.g., a media, e.g., a culture media, e.g., a growth media, may have a pH of less than about 7.4. Levels of at least one of ammonia, ammonium ions, and urea may be between about 10 micromolar and 200 millimolar. Levels of trace materials may be between 0.1 micromolar iron and 20 micromolar iron. Levels of oxygen may be between about 5% and 100% oxygen saturation. Levels of carbon dioxide may be between/less than about zero and 200 ppm, and phosphate levels greater than about 10 micromolar. The purpose of the polyphosphate loading state is to provide AOB with ammonia and oxygen such that ATP can be produced, but to deny them carbon dioxide and carbonate such that they are unable to use that ATP to fix carbon dioxide and instead use that ATP to generate polyphosphate which may be stored.
  • In some embodiments, the preparation of ammonia oxidizing bacteria may be in a storage state. A storage state may be defined as ammonia oxidizing bacteria in an environment in which they may be stored to be later revived. The storage state may be a state, e.g., ammonia oxidizing bacteria in an environment that allows availability of ammonia oxidizing bacteria after being revived, e.g., after being place in an environment promoting a growth state for a pre-determined period of time.
  • The storage state may comprise providing ammonia oxidizing bacteria in an environment having a pH of less than about 7.4. The storage state may also comprise providing ammonia oxidizing bacteria in an environment having ammonia, ammonia salts, and/or urea, trace minerals, oxygen, and low concentrations of carbon dioxide, as described above in Section 1.
  • Storage may also be accomplished by storing at 4° C. for up to several months. The storage buffer in some embodiments may comprise 50 mM Na2HPO4-2 mM MgCl2 (pH 7.6).
  • In some embodiments, ammonia oxidizing bacteria may be cyropreserved. A 1.25 ml of ammonia oxidizing bacteria mid-log culture may be added to a 2 ml cryotube and 0.75 ml of sterile 80% glycerol. Tubes may be shaken gently, and incubate at room temperature for 15 min to enable uptake of the cryoprotective agents by the cells. The tubes may be directly stored in a −80° C. freezer for freezing and storage.
  • For resuscitation of cultures, frozen stocks may be thawed on ice for 10-20 minutes, and then centrifuged at 8,000×g for 3 minutes at 4° C. The pellet may be washed by suspending it in 2 ml AOB medium followed by another centrifugation at 8,000×g for 3 minutes at 4° C. to reduce potential toxicity of the cryoprotective agents. The pellet may be resuspended in 2 ml of AOB medium, inoculated into 50 ml of AOB medium containing 50 mM NH4 +, and incubated in dark at 30° C. by shaking at 200 rpm.
  • In some embodiments, the preparation of ammonia oxidizing bacteria may comprise ammonia oxidizing bacteria in a storage state and/or ammonia oxidizing bacteria in a polyphosphate loading state and/or ammonia oxidizing bacteria in a growth state.
  • Without wishing to be bound by theory, by maintaining ammonia oxidizing bacteria under conditions or in an environment of low carbon dioxide, with sufficient oxygen and ammonia, they may accumulate polyphosphate for a pre-determined period, e.g., for a period of about one doubling time, e.g., for about 8-12 hours, e.g., for about 10 hours. The ammonia oxidizing bacteria may accumulate sufficient polyphosphate to extend their storage viability, storage time, and accelerate their revival. This may occur with or without the addition of buffer and ammonia.
  • The presence of sufficient stored polyphosphate may allow the ammonia oxidizing bacteria the ATP resources to maintain metabolic activity even in the absence of ammonia and oxygen, and to survive insults that would otherwise be fatal.
  • The process of oxidation of ammonia to generate ATP has two steps. The first step is the oxidation of ammonia to hydroxylamine by ammonia monoxoygenase (Amo), followed by the conversion of hydroxylamine to nitrite by hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (Hao). Electrons from the second step (conversion of hydroxylamine to nitrite) are used to power the first step (oxidation of ammonia to hydroxylamine).
  • If an ammonia oxidizing bacteria does not have hydroxylamine to generate electrons for Amo, then hydroxylamine is not available for Hao. For example, acetylene irreversibly inhibits the enzyme crucial for the first step in the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite, the oxidation of ammonia to hydroxylamine. Once AOB are exposed to acetylene, Amo is irreversibly inhibited and new enzyme must be synthesized before hydroxylamine can be generated. In a normal consortium biofilm habitat, AOB may share and receive hydroxylamine form other AOB (even different strains with different susceptibilities to inhibitors) and so the biofilm tends to be more resistant to inhibitors such as acetylene than an individual organism. AOB can use stored polyphosphate to synthesize new Amo, even in the absence of hydroxylamine.
  • Any embodiment, preparation, composition, or formulation of ammonia oxidizing bacteria discussed herein may comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of optionally axenic ammonia oxidizing bacteria.
  • 3. METHODS OF PRODUCING N. EUTROPHA
  • Methods of culturing various Nitrosomonas species are known in the art. N. eutropha may be cultured, for example, using N. europaea medium as described in Example 2 below. Ammonia oxidizing bacteria may be cultured, for example, using the media described in Table 3 or Table 4, above.
  • N. eutropha may be grown, for example, in a liquid culture or on plates. Suitable plates include 1.2% R2A agar, 1.2% agar, 1.2% agarose, and 1.2% agarose with 0.3 g/L pyruvate.
  • In some embodiments, ammonia oxidizing bacteria, such as N. eutropha is cultured in organic free media. One advantage of using organic free media is that it lacks substrate for heterotrophic bacteria to metabolize except for that produced by the autotrophic bacteria. Another advantage of using the as-grown culture is that substantial nitrite accumulates in the culture media, and this nitrite is also inhibitory of heterotrophic bacteria and so acts as a preservative during storage.
  • In some embodiments, ammonia oxidizing bacteria such as an N. eutropha strain with improved, e.g. optimized, properties is produced by an iterative process of propagation and selecting for desired properties. In some embodiments, the selection and propagation are carried out simultaneously. In some embodiments, the selection is carried out in a reaction medium (e.g., complete N. europaea medium) comprising 50 mM, 75 mM, 100 mM, 125 mM, 150 mM, 175 mM, 200 mM, 225 mM, 250 mM, 275 mM, or 300 mM NH4 +, e.g., at least 200 mM NH4 +. In some embodiments, the period of propagation and/or selection is at least 1, 2, 3, or 6 months. In embodiments, the period of propagation and/or selection is at least 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 years.
  • In some aspects, the ammonia oxidizing bacteria, such as the N. eutropha are manufactured on a commercial scale. In some embodiments, commercial scale refers to a liquid culturing method with a culture medium volume of at least 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 50,000, or 100,000 liters (L). In some embodiments, the bacteria are produced in a bioreactor. The bioreactor may maintain the bacteria at a constant temperature, e.g., about 26-30 degrees Celsius using, for example a thermal jacket for insulation, a temperature sensor, and a heating or cooling element. The bioreactor may have an apparatus for stirring the culture to improve distribution of nutrients like ammonia, urea, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and various minerals. The bioreactor may also have an inlet tube for addition of new medium, and an outlet tube for collection of cells. The bioreactor may also have an aerator for distributing oxygen and/or carbon dioxide to the culture. The bioreactor may be, e.g., a batch reactor, a fed batch reactor, or a continuous reactor. In some embodiments, commercial scale production of N. eutropha yields a batch of 1,000 to 100,000 L per day at about 1012 CFU/liter and 1,000 to 100,000. The commercial scale production may yield e.g., a batch of 1,000-5,000, 5,000-10,000, 10,000-50,000, or 50,000-100,000 L/day. The commercial scale production may yield e.g., a batch of 1,000-5,000, 5,000-10,000, 10,000-50,000, or 50,000-100,000 L per batch. In some embodiments, the yield is at a concentration of at least 1010, 1011, 2×1011, 5×1011, or 1012, or about 1010-1011, 1011-1012, 1012-1013, or 1013-1014 CFU/L
  • In some embodiments, typically including commercial scale production, quality control (QC) testing steps are carried out. The general steps of QC typically comprise, 1) culturing N. eutropha, 2) performing a testing step on the culture or an aliquot thereof, and 3) obtaining a value from the testing step, and optionally: 4) comparing the obtained value to a reference value or range of acceptable values, and 5) if the obtained value meets the acceptable reference value or range, then classifying the culture as acceptable, and if the obtained value does not meet the acceptable reference value or range, then classifying the culture as unacceptable. If the culture is classified as acceptable, the culture may, e.g., be allowed to continue growing and/or may be harvested and added to a commercial product. If the culture is classified as unacceptable, the culture may, e.g., be safely disposed of or the defect may be remedied.
  • The testing step may comprise measuring the optical density (OD) of the culture. OD is measured in a spectrophotometer, and provides information on the amount of light transmitted through the sample as distinguished from light absorbed or scattered. In some embodiments, the OD600 (e.g., optical density of light with a wavelength of 600 nm) may be determined. This measurement typically indicates the concentration of cells in the medium, where a higher optical density corresponds to a higher cell density.
  • The testing step may comprise measuring the pH of the culture. The pH of an N. eutropha culture indicates the rate of nitrogen oxidation, and can also indicate whether the culture comprises a contaminating organism. pH may be measured using, e.g., a pH-sensing device comprising a electrode (such as a hydrogen electrode, quinhydron-Electrode, antimony electrode, glass electrode), a pH-sensing device comprising a semiconductor, or a color indicator reagent such as pH paper.
  • In certain embodiments, producing the ammonia oxidizing bacteria such as N. eutropha comprises carrying out various quality control steps. For instance, one may test the medium in which the N. eutropha is grown, e.g., to determine whether it has an appropriate pH, whether it has a sufficiently low level of waste products, and/or whether it has a sufficiently high level or nutrients. One may also test for the presence of contaminating organisms. A contaminating organism is typically an organism other than an ammonia oxidizing bacteria such as N. eutropha, for instance an organism selected Microbacterium sp., Alcaligenaceae bacterium, Caulobacter sp., Burkodelia multivorans, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus. One may test for contaminants by, e.g., extracting DNA, amplifying it, and sequencing a conserved gene such as 16S rRNA. One may also test for contaminants by plating culture on agar plates and observing colony morphology. N. eutropha typically forms red colonies, so non-red colonies are often indicative of contaminating organisms.

  • Advantageously, a formulation may have a pH that promotes AOB, e.g., N. eutropha viability, e.g., metabolic activity. Urea would hydrolyze to ammonia and would raise the pH to 7 to 8. AOB are very active at this pH range and would lower the pH to about 6 where the NH3 converts to ammonium and is unavailable. Lower pH levels, e.g. about pH 4, are also acceptable. The ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., N. eutropha may be combined with one or more pharmaceutically or cosmetically acceptable excipients. In some embodiments, “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” refers to a pharmaceutically-acceptable material, composition, or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, solvent, or encapsulating material. In some embodiments, each excipient is “pharmaceutically acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of a pharmaceutical formulation, and suitable for use in contact with the tissue or organ of humans and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, immunogenicity, or other problems or complications, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. See, Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st ed.; Lippincott Williams & Wilkins: Philadelphia, Pa., 2005; Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 6th ed.; Rowe et al., Eds.; The Pharmaceutical Press and the American Pharmaceutical Association: 2009; Handbook of Pharmaceutical Additives, 3rd ed.; Ash and Ash Eds.; Gower Publishing Company: 2007; Pharmaceutical Preformulation and Formulation, 2nd ed.; Gibson Ed.; CRC Press LLC: Boca Raton, Fla., 2009.

  • While it is possible for the active ingredient, e.g., ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., N. eutropha, to be administered alone, in many embodiments it present in a pharmaceutical formulation or composition. Accordingly, this disclosure provides a pharmaceutical formulation comprising ammonia oxidizing bacteria, for example, N. eutropha and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Pharmaceutical compositions may take the form of a pharmaceutical formulation as described below.
  • The pharmaceutical formulations described herein include those suitable for oral, parenteral (including subcutaneous, intradermal, intramuscular, intravenous, and intraarticular), inhalation (including fine particle dusts or mists which may be generated by means of various types of metered doses, pressurized aerosols, nebulizers or insufflators, and including intranasally or via the lungs), rectal and topical (including dermal, transdermal, transmucosal, buccal, sublingual, and intraocular) administration, although the most suitable route may depend upon, for example, the condition and disorder of the recipient.
  • The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any of the methods known in the art of pharmacy. Typically, methods include the step of bringing the active ingredient (e.g., ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., N. eutropha) into association with a pharmaceutical carrier which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation.
  • Formulations may be presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets or tablets, each containing a predetermined amount of, e.g., N. eutropha; as a powder or granules; as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid or a non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water liquid emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. The active ingredient may also be presented as a bolus, electuary or paste. Various pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and their formulation are described in standard formulation treatises, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences by E. W. Martin. See also Wang, Y. J. and Hanson, M. A., Journal of Parenteral Science and Technology, Technical Report No. 10, Supp. 42:2 S, 1988.
  • The ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., N. eutropha compositions can, for example, be administered in a form suitable for immediate release or extended release. Suitable examples of sustained-release systems include suitable polymeric materials, for example semi-permeable polymer matrices in the form of shaped articles, e.g., films, or microcapsules; suitable hydrophobic materials, for example as an emulsion in an acceptable oil; or ion exchange resins. Sustained-release systems may be administered orally; rectally; parenterally; intracisternally; intravaginally; intraperitoneally; topically, for example as a powder, ointment, gel, drop or transdermal patch; bucally; or as a spray.
  • Preparations for administration can be suitably formulated to give controlled release of ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., N. eutropha. For example, the pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of particles comprising one or more of biodegradable polymers, polysaccharide jellifying and/or bioadhesive polymers, or amphiphilic polymers. These compositions exhibit certain biocompatibility features which allow a controlled release of an active substance. See U.S. Pat. No. 5,700,486.
  • Exemplary compositions include suspensions which can contain, for example, microcrystalline cellulose for imparting bulk, alginic acid or sodium alginate as a suspending agent, methylcellulose as a viscosity enhancer, dicalcium phosphate, starch, magnesium stearate and/or lactose and/or other excipients, binders, extenders, disintegrants, diluents and lubricants, mannitol, lactose, sucrose and/or cyclodextrins.

In some embodiments, the preparation may have less than about 0.0001% to about 10% of surfactant. In some embodiments, the preparation may have between about 0.1% and about 10% surfactant. In some embodiments, the concentration of surfactant used may be between about 0.0001% and about 10%. In some embodiments, the preparation may be substantially free of surfactant.
  • In some embodiments, the formulation, e.g., preparation, may include other components that may enhance effectiveness of ammonia oxidizing bacteria, or enhance a treatment or indication.
  • In some embodiments, a chelator may be included in the preparation. A chelator may be a compound that may bind with another compound, e.g., a metal. The chelator may provide assistance in removing an unwanted compound from an environment, or may act in a protective manner to reduce or eliminate contact of a particular compound with an environment, e.g., ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g. a preparation of ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., an excipient. In some embodiments, the preparation may be substantially free of chelator.
  • Formulations may also contain anti-oxidants, buffers, bacteriostats that prevent the growth of undesired bacteria, solutes, and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which may include suspending agents and thickening agents. The formulations may be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose containers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and may be stored in a freeze-dried (lyophilised) condition requiring only the addition of a sterile liquid carrier, for example saline or water-for-injection, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous solutions and suspensions may be prepared from powders, granules and tablets of the kind previously described. Exemplary compositions include solutions or suspensions which can contain, for example, suitable non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable diluents or solvents, such as mannitol, 1,3-butanediol, water, Ringer's solution, an isotonic sodium chloride solution, or other suitable dispersing or wetting and suspending agents, including synthetic mono- or diglycerides, and fatty acids, including oleic acid, or Cremaphor. An aqueous carrier may be, for example, an isotonic buffer solution at a pH of from about 3.0 to about 8.0, a pH of from about 3.5 to about 7.4, for example from 3.5 to 6.0, for example from 3.5 to about 5.0. Useful buffers include sodium citrate-citric acid and sodium phosphate-phosphoric acid, and sodium acetate/acetic acid buffers. The composition in some embodiments does not include oxidizing agents.
  • Excipients that can be included are, for instance, proteins, such as human serum albumin or plasma preparations. If desired, the pharmaceutical composition may also contain minor amounts of non-toxic auxiliary substances, such as wetting or emulsifying agents, preservatives, and pH buffering agents and the like, for example sodium acetate or sorbitan monolaurate. In some embodiments, excipients, e.g., a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or a cosmetically acceptable excipient, may comprise an anti-adherent, binder, coat, disintegrant, filler, flavor, color, lubricant, glidant, sorbent, preservative, or sweetener. In some embodiments, the preparation may be substantially free of excipients.
  • In some embodiments, the preparation may be substantially free of one or more of the compounds or substances listed in the disclosure.
  • Exemplary compositions for aerosol administration include solutions in saline, which can contain, for example, benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption promoters to enhance bioavailability, and/or other solubilizing or dispersing agents. Conveniently in compositions for aerosol administration the ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., N. eutropha is delivered in the form of an aerosol spray presentation from a pressurized pack or a nebulizer, with the use of a suitable propellant, e.g., dichlorodifluoro-methane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas. In the case of a pressurized aerosol the dosage unit can be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges of e.g., gelatin can be formulated to contain a powder mix of the N. eutropha and a suitable powder base, for example lactose or starch. In certain embodiments, N. eutropha is administered as an aerosol from a metered dose valve, through an aerosol adapter also known as an actuator. Optionally, a stabilizer is also included, and/or porous particles for deep lung delivery are included (e.g., see U.S. Pat. No. 6,447,743).
  • Formulations may be presented with carriers such as cocoa butter, synthetic glyceride esters or polyethylene glycol. Such carriers are typically solid at ordinary temperatures, but liquefy and/or dissolve at body temperature to release the ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., N. eutropha.
  • Exemplary compositions for topical administration include a topical carrier such as Plastibase (mineral oil gelled with polyethylene). In some aspects, the composition and/or excipient may be in the form of one or more of a liquid, a solid, or a gel. For example, liquid suspensions may include, but are not limited to, water, saline, phosphate-buffered saline, or an ammonia oxidizing storage buffer. Gel formulations may include, but are not limited to agar, silica, polyacrylic acid (for example Carbopol®), carboxymethyl cellulose, starch, guar gum, alginate or chitosan. In some embodiments, the formulation may be supplemented with an ammonia source including, but not limited to ammonium chloride or ammonium sulfate.
  • In some embodiments, an ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., N. eutropha composition is formulated to improve NO penetration into the skin. A gel-forming material such as KY jelly or various hair gels would present a diffusion barrier to NO loss to ambient air, and so improve the skin's absorption of NO. The NO level in the skin will generally not greatly exceed 20 nM/L because that level activates GC and would cause local vasodilatation and oxidative destruction of excess NO.
  • It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above, the formulations as described herein may include other agents conventional in the art having regard to the type of formulation in question.
  • The formulation, e.g., preparation, e.g., composition may be provided in a container, delivery system, or delivery device, having a weight, including or not including the contents of the container, that may be less than about 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1500, or 2000 grams.
  • Suitable unit dosage formulations are those containing an effective dose, as hereinbefore recited, or an appropriate fraction thereof, of ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., N. eutropha.
  • A therapeutically effective amount of ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., N. eutropha may be administered as a single pulse dose, as a bolus dose, or as pulse doses administered over time.

  • In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a wearable article comprising an N. eutropha strain as described herein. A wearable article may be a light article that can be closely associated with a user's body, in a way that does not impede ambulation. Examples of wearable articles include a wristwatch, wristband, headband, hair elastic, hair nets, shower caps, hats, hairpieces, and jewelry. The wearable article comprising an ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., N. eutropha strain described herein may provide, e.g., at a concentration that provides one or more of a treatment or prevention of a skin disorder, a treatment or prevention of a disease or condition associated with low nitrite levels, a treatment or prevention of body odor, a treatment to supply nitric oxide to a subject, or a treatment to inhibit microbial growth.
  • In some embodiments, the ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., N. eutropha is associated with a product intended to contact the hair, for example, a brush, comb, shampoo, conditioner, headband, hair elastic, hair nets, shower caps, hats, and hairpieces. Nitric oxide formed on the hair, away from the skin surface, may be captured in a hat, scarf or face mask and directed into inhaled air.
  • Articles contacting the surface of a human subject, such as a diaper, may be associated with ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., N. eutropha. Because diapers are designed to hold and contain urine and feces produced by incontinent individuals, the urea in urine and feces can be hydrolyzed by skin and fecal bacteria to form free ammonia which is irritating and may cause diaper rash. Incorporation of bacteria that metabolize urea into nitrite or nitrate, such as ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., N. eutropha, may avoid the release of free ammonia and may release nitrite and ultimately NO which may aid in the maintenance of healthy skin for both children and incontinent adults. The release of nitric oxide in diapers may also have anti-microbial effects on disease causing organisms present in human feces. This effect may continue even after disposable diapers are disposed of as waste and may reduce the incidence of transmission of disease through contact with soiled disposable diapers
  • In some embodiments, the product comprising ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., N. eutropha is packaged. The packaging may serve to compact the product or protect it from damage, dirt, or degradation. The packaging may comprise, e.g., plastic, paper, cardboard, or wood. In some embodiments the packaging is impermeable to bacteria. In some embodiments the packaging is permeable to oxygen and/or carbon dioxide.

  • One suitable method of topical application to apply sufficient ammonia oxidizing bacteria and then wear sufficient clothing so as to induce sweating. However, many people will want to derive the benefits of ammonia oxidizing bacteria while maintaining their current bathing habits, in which case, a culture of the bacteria can be applied along with sufficient substrate for them to produce NO. A nutrient solution approximating the inorganic composition of human sweat can be used for this purpose. Using bacteria adapted to media approximating human sweat minimizes the time for them to adapt when applied. Since sweat evaporates once excreted onto the skin surface, using a culture media that has a higher ionic strength is desirable. A concentration approximately twice that of human sweat is suitable, but other conditions are also contemplated. Ammonia oxidizing bacteria's nutritional needs are typically met with NH3 or urea, O2, CO2, and minerals. In some embodiments, the substrate comprises trace minerals including iron, copper, zinc, cobalt, molybdenum, manganese, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, phosphate, sulfate, or any combination thereof.

  • 7. MECHANISM OF THERAPEUTIC BENEFIT
  • While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that one or more of the following mechanisms contributes to the beneficial effect of ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., N. eutropha in treating the diseases and conditions discussed herein. Additional mechanistic details are found in International Application WO/2005/030147, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
  • In order to understand the beneficial aspects of these bacteria, it is helpful to understand angiogenesis. All body cells, except those within a few hundred microns of the external air, receive all metabolic oxygen from the blood supply. The oxygen is absorbed by the blood in the lung, is carried by red blood cells as oxygenated hemoglobin to the peripheral tissues, where it is exchanged for carbon dioxide, which is carried back and exhaled from the lung. Oxygen must diffuse from the erythrocyte, through the plasma, through the endothelium and through the various tissues until it reached the mitochondria in the cell which consumes it. The human body contains about 5 liters of blood, so the volume of the circulatory system is small compared to that of the body. Oxygen is not actively transported. It passively diffuses down a concentration gradient from the air to the erythrocyte, from the erythrocyte to the cell, and from the cell to cytochrome oxidase where it is consumed. The concentration of oxygen at the site of consumption is the lowest in the body, and the O2 flux is determined by the diffusion resistance and the concentration gradient. Achieving sufficient oxygen supply to all the peripheral tissues requires exquisite control of capillary size and location. If the spacing between capillaries were increased, achieving the same flux of oxygen would require a larger concentration difference and hence a lower O2 concentration at cytochrome oxidase. With more cells between capillaries, the O2 demand would be greater. If the spacing between capillaries were decreased, there would be less space available for the cells that perform the metabolic function of the organ.
  • In certain aspects, it is appreciated that NO from ammonia oxidizing bacteria is readily absorbed by the outer skin and converted into S-nitrosothiols since the outer skin is free from hemoglobin. M. Stucker et al. have shown that the external skin receives all of its oxygen from the external air in “The cutaneous uptake of atmospheric oxygen contributes significantly to the oxygen supply of human dermis and epidermis. (Journal of Physiology (2002), 538.3, pp. 985-994.) This is readily apparent, because the external skin can be seen to be essentially erythrocyte free. There is circulation of plasma through these layers because they are living and do require the other nutrients in blood, just not the oxygen. S-nitrosothiols formed are stable, can diffuse throughout the body, and constitute a volume source of authentic NO and a source of NO to transnitrosate protein thiols.
  • In some aspects, it is appreciated that capillary rarefaction may be one of the first indications of insufficient levels of NO. F. T. Tarek et al. have shown that sparse capillaries, or capillary rarefaction, is commonly seen in people with essential hypertension. (Structural Skin Capillary Rarefaction in Essential Hypertension. Hypertension. 1999; 33:998-1001
  • A great many conditions are associated with the capillary density becoming sparser. Hypertension is one, and researchers reported that sparse capillaries are also seen in the children of people with essential hypertension, and also in people with diabetes. Significant complications of diabetes are hypertension, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic neuropathy. R. Candido et al. have found that the last two conditions are characterized by a reduction in blood flow to the affected areas prior to observed symptoms. (Haemodynamics in microvascular complications in type 1 diabetes. Diabetes Metab Res Rev 2002; 18: 286-304.) Reduced capillary density is associated with obesity, and simple weight loss increases capillary density as shown by A Philip et al. in “Effect of Weight Loss on Muscle Fiber Type, Fiber Size, Capilarity, and Succinate Dehydrogenase Activity in Humans. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism Vol. 84, No. 11 4185-4190, 1999.
  • Researchers have shown that in primary Raynaud's phenomena (PRP), the nailfold capillaries are sparser (slightly) than in normal controls, and more abundant than in patients that have progressed to systemic sclerosis (SSc). M. Bukhari, Increased Nailfold Capillary Dimensions In Primary Raynaud's Phenomenon And Systemic Sclerosis. British Journal of Rheumatology, Vol. 24 No 35: 1127-1131, 1996. They found that the capillary density decreased from 35 loops/mm2 (normal controls) to 33 (PRP), to 17 (SSc). The average distance between capillary limbs was 18μ, 18μ, and 30μ for controls, PRP and SSc, respectively.
  • In certain aspects, it is appreciated that the mechanism that the body normally uses to sense “hypoxia” may affect the body's system that regulates capillary density. According to this aspect of the invention, a significant component of “hypoxia” is sensed, not by a decrease in O2 levels, but rather by an increase in NO levels. Lowering of basal NO levels interferes with this “hypoxia” sensing, and so affects many bodily functions regulated through “hypoxia.” For Example, anemia is commonly defined as “not enough hemoglobin,” and one consequence of not enough hemoglobin is “hypoxia”, which is defined as “not enough oxygen.” According to some aspects, these common definitions do not account for the nitric oxide mediated aspects of both conditions.
  • At rest, acute isovolemic anemia is well tolerated. A ⅔ reduction in hematocrit has minimal effect on venous return PvO2, indicating no reduction in either O2 tension or delivery throughout the entire body. Weiskopf et al. Human cardiovascular and metabolic response to acute, severe isovolemic anemia. JAMA 1998, vol 279, No. 3, 217-221. At 50% reduction (from 140 to 70 g Hb/L), the average PvO2 (over 32 subjects) declined from about 77% to about 74% (of saturation). The reduction in O2 capacity of the blood is compensated for by vasodilatation and tachycardia with the heart rate increasing from 63 to 85 bpm. That the compensation is effective is readily apparent, however, the mechanism is not. A typical explanation is that “hypoxia” sensors detected “hypoxia” and compensated with vasodilatation and tachycardia. However, there was no “hypoxia” to detect. There was a slight decrease in blood lactate (a marker for anaerobic respiration) from 0.77 to 0.62 mM/L indicating less anaerobic respiration and less “hypoxia.” The 3% reduction in venous return PvO2 is the same level of “hypoxia” one would get by ascending 300 meters in altitude (which typically does not produce tachycardia). With the O2 concentration in the venous return staying the same, and the O2 consumption staying the same, there is no place in the body where there is a reduction in O2 concentration. Compensation during isovolemic anemia may not occur because of O2 sensing.
  • Thus the vasodilatation that is observed in acute isovolemic anemia may be due to the increased NO concentration at the vessel wall. NO mediates dilatation of vessels in response to shear stress and other factors. No change in levels of NO metabolites would be observed, because the production rate of NO is unchanged and continues to equal the destruction rate. The observation of no “hypoxic” compensation with metHb substitution can be understood because metHb binds NO just as Hb does, so there is no NO concentration increase with metHb substitution as there is with Hb withdrawal.
  • Nitric oxide plays a role in many metabolic pathways. It has been suggested that a basal level of NO exerts a tonal inhibitory response, and that reduction of this basal level leads to a dis-inhibition of those pathways. Zanzinger et al. have reported that NO has been shown to inhibit basal sympathetic tone and attenuate excitatory reflexes. (Inhibition of basal and reflex-mediated sympathetic activity in the RVLM by nitric oxide. Am. J. Physiol. 268 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 37): R958-R962, 1995.)
  • In some aspects, it is appreciated that one component of a volume source of NO is low molecular weight S-nitrosothiols produced in the erythrocyte free skin from NO produced on the external skin by ammonia oxidizing bacteria. These low molecular weight S-nitrosothiols are stable for long periods, and can diffuse and circulate freely in the plasma. Various enzymes can cleave the NO from various S-nitrosothiols liberating NO at the enzyme site. It is the loss of this volume source of NO from AOB on the skin that leads to disruptions in normal physiology. The advantage to the body of using S-nitrosothiols to generate NO far from a capillary is that O2 is not required for NO production from S-nitrosothiols. Production of NO from nitric oxide synthase (NOS) does require O2. With a sufficient background of S-nitrosothiols, NO can be generated even in anoxic regions. Free NO is not needed either since NO only exerts effects when attached to another molecule, such as the thiol of a cysteine residue or the iron in a heme, so the effects of NO can be mediated by transnitrosation reactions even in the absence of free NO provided that S-nitrosothiols and transnitrosation enzymes are present.
  • Frank et al. have shown that the angiogenesis that accompanies normal wound healing is produced in part by elevated VEGF which is induced by increased nitric oxide. (Nitric oxide triggers enhanced induction of vascular endothelial growth factor expression in cultured keratinocytes (HaCaT) and during cutaneous wound repair. FASEB J. 13, 2002-2014 (1999).)
  • NO has a role in the development of cancer, indicating that the bacteria described herein may be used in methods of cancer treatment and prevention. According to certain aspects, it is appreciated that the presence of NO during hypoxia may prevent cells from dividing while under hypoxic stress, when cells are at greater risk for errors in copying DNA. One relevant cell function is the regulation of the cell cycle. This is the regulatory program which controls how and when the cell replicates DNA, assembles it into duplicate chromosomes, and divides. The regulation of the cell cycle is extremely complex, and is not fully understood. However, it is known that there are many points along the path of the cell cycle where the cycle can be arrested and division halted until conditions for doing so have improved. The p53 tumor suppressor protein is a key protein in the regulation of the cell cycle, and it serves to initiate both cell arrest and apoptosis from diverse cell stress signals including DNA damage and p53 is mutated in over half of human cancers as reported by Ashcroft et al. in “Stress Signals Utilize Multiple Pathways To Stabilize p53.” (Molecular And Cellular Biology, May 2000, p. 3224-3233.) Hypoxia does initiate accumulation of p53, and while hypoxia is important in regulating the cell cycle, hypoxia alone fails to induce the downstream expression of p53 mRNA effector proteins and so fails to cause arrest of the cell cycle. Goda et al. have reported that hypoxic induction of cell arrest requires hypoxia-inducing factor-1 (HIF-1α). (Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1α Is Essential for Cell Cycle Arrest during Hypoxia. Molecular And Cellular Biology, January 2003, p. 359-369.) Britta et al. have reported that NO is one of the main stimuli for HIF-1α. (Accumulation of HIF-1α under the influence of nitric oxide. Blood, 15 Feb. 2001, Volume 97, Number 4.) In contrast, NO does cause the accumulation of transcriptionally active p53 and does cause arrest of the cell cycle and does cause apoptosis. Wang et al., P53 Activation By Nitric Oxide Involves Down-Regulation Of Mdm2. THE JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY Vol. 277, No. 18, Issue Of May 3, Pp. 15697-15702, 2002.
  • In certain aspect of the invention, it is appreciated that preventing the necrotic death of cells by preventing the capillary rarefaction that leads to their hypoxic death may prevent autoimmune disorders. When cells are exposed to chronic hypoxia, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is increased, and there is increased damage to the cells metabolic machinery and ultimately to the cells' DNA. Decreased metabolic capacity will decrease capacity for repair of damage due to ROS and due to exogenous carcinogen exposure. Over time, the damage accumulates and increases the chance of three events: the cell will undergo deletion of cancer-preventing genes and the cell will become cancerous, the cell will die through necrosis, or the cell will die through apoptosis. When cells die, either through necrosis or apoptosis, the cell debris must be cleared from the site. Dead cells are phagocytosed by immune cells, including dendritic cells and macrophages. When these cells phagocytose a body, it is digested by various proteolytic enzymes into antigenic fragments, and then these antigens are attached to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC1, MHC2) and the antigen-MHC complex is moved to the surface of the cell where it can interact with T cells and activate the T cells in various ways. Any cell injury releases adjuvants which stimulate the immune system in various ways. In general, cells that undergo necrosis stimulate a greater immune response than cells that undergo apoptosis. Chronic exposure of immune cells to dead and dying cells is therefore likely to lead to autoimmune disorders.
  • In certain aspects, it is appreciated that low basal NO leads to fibrotic hypertrophy. Once a dead cell has been cleared, a new cell cannot easily take its place, because there is insufficient O2 to support it. Any such new cell would suffer the same fate. The space can remain empty, in which case the organ shrinks, the capillaries draw closer together, new cells are now deprived of the VEGF formerly produced by the now-missing cell, so capillaries ablate and the hypoxic zone reforms. This could result in a general shrinkage of the affected tissues. In tissues that support fibrosis, relatively inert collagen fibers can fill the space. Since the metabolic requirements of the body for the particular organ in question are not reduced, the organ may attempt to grow larger, but now with a significant fibrous content. This may result in fibrotic hypertrophy, such as of the heart and liver. Some organs, such as the brain, cannot grow larger or smaller because the three-dimensional connectivity of nerves and blood vessels are important, and cannot be continuously and simultaneously mapped onto an asymmetrically shrinking brain. The space must be filled with something, and β-amyloid might be the (not so inert) space filler. The kidney cannot grow larger because of the renal capsule, so the number of living cells becomes smaller and they are replaced with fibrotic tissue. If the dead cells are cleared, the tissue shrinks, and the ratio of NO/O2 goes down again, and the capillaries again become sparser. This may set up the vicious circle of end stage renal disease, congestive heart failure/cardiac hypertrophy, primary biliary cirrhosis, Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, hypertrophic scar formation, and the multiple connective tissue diseases starting with Raynaud's phenomena and ending with Systemic Sclerosis and primary Sjogren's syndrome where capillary rarefaction is also observed. Ferrini et al, have shown that a reduction in basal NO levels through chronic inhibition of NOS with L-NAME leads to generalized fibrosis of the heart and kidneys. (Antifibrotic Role of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase. Nitric Oxide: Biology and Chemistry Vol. 6, No. 3, pp. 283-294 (2002).) It may be that low basal NO leads to fibrotic hypertrophy.
  • In certain aspects, it is appreciated that capillary rarefaction affects a subject's ability to control their appetite. Capillary rarefaction is observed in the brains of aged humans and animals. Capillary rarefaction is associated with declines in circulating growth factors including insulin like growth factor-1. Neurogenesis in the adult brain is coordinated with angiogenesis. Since the brain regulates many homeostatic functions, increased diffusion lengths between capillaries to control elements of the brain might be “interpreted” as inadequate blood concentrations of those species. The flux of glucose in the brain is quite close to normal metabolic needs, where glucose flux is only 50 to 75% greater than glucose consumption and the glucose transporters across the blood brain barrier are saturable, stereospecific and independent of energy or ion gradients. A large part of the regulation of appetite is mediated through the brain, and capillary rarefaction may cause an adequate blood concentration of “nutrients” (or marker compounds proportional to “nutrients”) to be interpreted as insufficient. This may be one cause of obesity.
  • According to certain aspects, it is appreciated that capillary rarefaction may be a cause of non-insulin dependent diabetes. Non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM) is also known as the Metabolic Syndrome or Diabetes type 2, and is characterized by insulin resistance. The sensitivity of the body to insulin is reduced, and insulin levels increase People with NIDDM have high blood glucose, high blood triglycerides, are typically obese, hypertensive, and typically have significant visceral fat.
  • Other symptoms accompany NIDDM, which may point to capillary rarefaction as the cause. In a study of 40 men, with and without NIDDM, obese (BMI 29) and lean (BMI 24) (10 of each), Konrad et al. report that blood lactate levels at rest were 1.78, 2.26, 2.42, and 2.76 (mM/L) for lean men without, obese men without, lean men with NIDDM, obese men with NIDDM respectively. (A-Lipoic acid treatment decreases serum lactate and pyruvate concentrations and improves glucose effectiveness in lean and obese patients with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes Care 22:280-287, 1999.) Lactate is a measure of anaerobic glycolysis. When O2 is insufficient to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation, cells can produce ATP through anaerobic glycolysis. One of the products of anaerobic glycolysis is lactate, which must be exported from the cells, otherwise the pH drops and function is compromised. Blood lactate is commonly measured in exercise studies, where an increase indicates the work load at which maximum oxidative work can be done. Higher levels of lactate at rest would indicate increased anaerobic glycolysis at rest, which is consistent with capillary rarefaction.
  • Primary biliary cirrhosis is associated with Raynaud's phenomena, pruritus, sicca syndrome, osteoporosis, portal hypertension, neuropathy, and pancreatic insufficiency, and liver abnormalities are associated with rheumatic diseases. Elevated liver enzymes are a symptom of liver inflammation, and elevated liver enzymes are observed as an early symptom of “asymptomatic” primary biliary cirrhosis. Accordingly, the bacteria described herein may be used to treat liver inflammation.
  • Torre et al have reported that Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a microvascular disorder with neurological degeneration secondary to hypoperfusion, resulting in part from insufficient nitric oxide. (Review: Evidence that Alzheimer's disease is a microvascular disorder: the role of constitutive nitric oxide, Brain Research Reviews 34 (2000) 119-136.) Accordingly, the bacteria described herein may be used to treat AD.
  • Adverse health effects that are associated with hypertension may also be consequences of low basal NO. The decreased response to vasodilatation is also consistent with low basal NO. NO is a diffusible molecule that diffuses from a source to a sensor site where it has the signaling effect. With low NO levels, every NO source must produce more NO to generate an equivalent NO signal of a certain intensity a certain distance away. NO diffuses in three dimensions and the whole volume within that diffusion range must be raised to the level that will give the proper signal at the sensor location. This may result in higher NO levels at the source and between the source and the sensor. Adverse local effects of elevated NO near a source may then arise from too low a NO background. There is some evidence that this scenario actual occurs. In rat pancreatic islets, Henningsson et al have reported that inhibition of NOS with L-NAME increases total NO production through the induction of iNOS. (Chronic blockade of NO synthase paradoxically increases islet NO production and modulates islet hormone release. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 279: E95-E107, 2000.) Increasing NO by increasing NOS activity will only work up to some limit. When NOS is activated but is not supplied with sufficient tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) or L-arginine, it becomes “uncoupled” and generates superoxide (O2−) instead of NO. This O2 may then destroy NO. Attempting to produce NO at a rate that exceeds the supply of BH4 or L-arginine may instead decrease NO levels. This may result in positive feedback where low NO levels are made worse by stimulation of NOS, and uncoupled NOS generates significant O2 which causes local reactive oxygen species (ROS) damage such as is observed in atherosclerosis, end stage renal disease, Alzheimer's, and diabetes.
  • The bacteria described herein may also be used to delay the signs of aging. Caloric restriction extends lifespan, and Holloszy reported that restricting food intake to 70% of ad lib controls, prolongs life in sedentary rats from 858 to 1,051 days, almost 25%. (Mortality rate and longevity of food restricted exercising male rats: a reevaluation. J. Appl. Physiol. 82(2): 399-403, 1997.) The link between calorie restriction and prolonged life is well established, however, the causal mechanism is not. Lopez-Torres et al. reported that the examination of liver mitochondrial enzymes in rats indicates a reduction in H2O2 production due to reduced complex I activity associated with calorie restriction. (Influence Of Aging And Long-Term Caloric Restriction On Oxygen Radical Generation And Oxidative DNA Damage In Rat Liver Mitochondria. Free Radical Biology & Medicine Vol. 32 No 9 pp 882-8899, 2002.) H2O2 is produced by dismutation of O2 , which is a major ROS produced by the mitochondria during respiration. The main source of O2 has been suggested by Kushareva et al. and others to be complex I which catalyzes the NAD/NADH redox couple by reverse flow of electrons from complex III, the site of succinate reduction. The free radical theory, proposed by Beckman, of aging postulates, that free radical damage to cellular DNA, antioxidant systems and DNA repair systems accumulates with age and when critical systems are damaged beyond repair, death ensues. (The Free Radical Theory of Aging Matures. Physiol. Rev. 78: 547-581, 1998.)
  • As an additional mechanism, NO has been demonstrated by Vasa et al. to activate telomerase and to delay senescence of endothelial cells. (Nitric Oxide Activates Telomerase and Delays Endothelial Cell Senescence. Circ Res. 2000; 87:540-542.) Low basal NO will increase basal metabolic rate by disinhibition of cytochrome oxidase. Increased basal metabolism will also increase cell turn-over and growth rate. Capillary rarefaction, by inducing chronic hypoxia may increase free radical damage and may also increase cell turn-over, and so accelerate aging by both mechanisms.
  • In some aspects, it is appreciated that autotrophic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria may produce protective aspects for allergies and autoimmune disorders. The best known autoimmune disease is perhaps Diabetes Type 1, which results from the destruction of the insulin producing cells in the pancreas by the immune system. Recurrent pregnancy loss is also associated with autoimmune disorders where the number of positive autoimmune antibodies correlated positively with numbers recurrent pregnancy losses. Systemic Sclerosis, Primary Biliary Cirrhosis, autoimmune hepatitis, and the various rheumatic disorders are other examples of autoimmune disorders. Application of AOB was observed to reduce an allergy, hay fever, as described in WO/2005/030147.
  • One mechanism by which AOB may exert their protective effect on allergies and autoimmune disorders is through the production of nitric oxide, primarily through the regulatory inhibition of NF-κB and the prevention of activation of immune cells and the induction of inflammatory reactions. NF-κB is a transcription factor that up-regulates gene expression and many of these genes are associated with inflammation and the immune response including genes which cause the release of cytokines, chemokines, and various adhesion factors. These various immune factors cause the migration of immune cells to the site of their release resulting in the inflammation response. Constitutive NO production has been shown to inhibit NF-κB by stabilizing IκBα (an inhibitor of NF-κB) by preventing IκBα degradation.
  • Administration of an NO donor has been shown by Xu et al. to prevent the development of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in rats. (SIN-1, a Nitric Oxide Donor, Ameliorates Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis in Lewis Rats in the Incipient Phase: The Importance of the Time Window. The Journal of Immunology, 2001, 166: 5810-5816.) In this study, it was demonstrated that administering an NO donor, reduced the infiltration of macrophages into the central nervous system, reduced the proliferation of blood mononuclear cells, and increased apoptosis of blood mononuclear cells. All of these results are expected to reduce the extent and severity of the induced autoimmune response.
  • Low basal NO may lead to autism via the mechanism that new connections in the brain are insufficiently formed as a result of insufficient basal nitric oxide. While not wishing to be bound in theory, in some embodiments, formation of neural connections is modulated by NO. In these cases, any condition that lowers the range of NO diffusion may decrease the volume size of brain elements that can undergo connections. A brain which developed under conditions of low basal NO levels may be arranged in smaller volume elements because the reduced effective range of NO.
  • Additional symptoms exhibited in autistic individuals may also point to low NO as a cause, including increased pitch discrimination, gut disturbances, immune system dysfunction, reduced cerebral blood flow, increased glucose consumption of the brain, increased plasma lactate, attachment disorders, and humming. Each of these symptoms may be attributed to a low basal NO level.

The occurrence of these effects may be a result of capillary rarefaction in the brain, which may reduce blood flow and O2 supply, such that some of the metabolic load of the brain may be produced through glycolysis instead of oxidative phosphorylation.

  • It may be that a number of seemingly disparate disorders, characterized by ATP depletion and eventual organ failure are actually “caused” by nitropenia, caused by a global deficiency in basal nitric oxide. When this occurs in the heart, the result is dilative cardiomyopathy. When this occurs in the brain, the result is white matter hyperintensity, Alzheimer's, vascular depression, vascular dementia, Parkinson's, and the Lewy body dementias. When this occurs in the kidney, the result is end stage renal disease, when this occurs in the liver, the result is primary biliary cirrhosis. When this occurs in muscle, the consequence is fibromyaligia, Gulf War Syndrome, or chronic fatigue syndrome. When this occurs in the bowel, the consequence is ischemic bowel disease. When this occurs in the pancreas, the consequence is first type 2 diabetes, followed by chronic inflammation of the pancreas, followed by autoimmune attack of the pancreas (or pancreatic cancer), followed by type 1 diabetes. When this occurs in the connective tissue, the consequence is systemic sclerosis.
  • In the remnant kidney model of end stage renal disease, part of the kidney is removed, (either surgically or with a toxin) which increases the metabolic load on the remainder. Superoxide is generated to decrease NO and increase O2 diffusion to the kidney mitochondria. Chronic overload results in progressive kidney capillary rarefaction and progressive kidney failure. In acute kidney failure, putting people in dialysis can give the kidney a “rest”, and allows it to recover. In acute renal failure induced by rhabdomyolysis (muscle damage which releases myoglobin into the blood stream) kidney damage is characterized by ischemic damage. Myoglobin scavenges NO, just as hemoglobin does, and would cause vasoconstriction in the kidney leading to ischemia. Myoglobin would also induce local nitropenia and the cascade of events leading to further ATP depletion.
  • In some aspects, low NO levels lead to reduced mitochondrial biogenesis. Producing the same ATP at a reduced mitochondria density will result in an increase in O2 consumption, or an accelerated basal metabolic rate. An accelerated basal metabolic rate is observed in a number of conditions, including: Sickle cell anemia, Congestive heart failure, Diabetes, Liver Cirrhosis, Crohn's disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Obesity, End stage renal disease, Alzheimer's, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
  • While some increased O2 consumption might be productively used, in many of these conditions uncoupling protein is also up-regulated, indicating that at least part of the increased metabolic rate is due to inefficiency. Conditions where uncoupling protein is known to be up-regulated include obesity and diabetes.
  • With fewer mitochondria consuming O2 to a lower O2 concentration, the O2 gradient driving O2 diffusion is greater, so the O2 diffusion path length can increase resulting in capillary rarefaction, which is observed in dilative cardiomyopathy, hypertension, diabetes type 2, and renal hypertension.
  • Copper, either as Cu2+ or as ceruloplasmin (CP) (the main Cu containing serum protein which is present at 0.38 g/L in adult sera and which is 0.32% Cu and contains 94% of the serum copper) catalyzes the formation of S—NO-thiols from NO and thiol containing groups (RSH). The Cu content of plasma is variable and is increased under conditions of infection. Berger et al. reported that the Cu and Zn content of burn-wound exudates is considerable with patients with ⅓ of their skin burned, losing 20 to 40% of normal body Cu and 5 to 10% of Zn content in 7 days. (Cutaneous copper and zinc losses in burns. Burns. 1992 October; 18(5):373-80.) If the patients skin were colonized by AOB, wound exudates which contains urea and Fe, Cu, and Zn that AOB need, would be converted into NO and nitrite, greatly supplementing the local production of NO by iNOS, without consuming resources (such as O2 and L-arginine) in the metabolically challenged wound. A high production of NO and nitrite by AOB on the surface of a wound would be expected to inhibit infection, especially by anaerobic bacteria such as the Clostridia which cause tetanus, gas gangrene, and botulism.

  • 9. ADJUSTING THE SKIN MICROBIOME WITH AMMONIA OXIDIZING BACTERIA
  • The present disclosure provides for systems and methods for changing the skin microbiome, e.g., the human skin microbiome. The systems and methods may provide treatment of infections or conditions, e.g., related to the skin, e.g., skin infections and/or skin conditions.
  • Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) of the genus Nitrosomonas are Gram-negative obligate autotrophic bacteria with a unique capacity to generate nitrite and nitric oxide exclusively from ammonia as an energy source. They are widely present both in soil and water environments and are essential components of environmental nitrification processes. Due to the roles of nitrite and nitric oxide on human skin as important components of several physiological functions, such as vasodilation, skin inflammation and wound healing, these bacteria may have beneficial properties for both healthy and immunopathological skin conditions. These bacteria may be safe for use in humans because they are slow-growing, cannot grow on organic carbon sources, may be sensitive to soaps and antibiotics, and have never been associated with any disease or infection in animals or humans.
  • Topical application of ammonia oxidizing bacteria to a subject, e.g., a human subject may lead to unexpected changes in the skin microbiome, and more specifically it may lead to increases in the proportion of normal commensal non-pathogenic species and reductions in the proportion of potentially pathogenic, pathogenic, or disease causing organisms.
  • EXAMPLES Example 1 Initial Culturing of N. eutropha
  • A soil-derived culture enriched in various ammonia oxidizing bacteria was applied to the skin of an adult male subject as described in WO/2003/057380. The period of growth on the human body selected for a strain with the capacity to colonize human skin for an extended period of time. After several months, the strain was re-isolated from the skin of the individual and cultured in laboratory conditions for a sustained period as described in the subsequent examples. While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the sustained laboratory culture selected for new mutations improving the strain properties, e.g., improved tolerance for high-ammonia conditions.

  • The batch media, in a bioreactor vessel, is inoculated with ˜10 ml of a 3 day old N. eutropha D23 culture (i.e. 1% volume). The pH is adjusted to 7.6 using 7.5% Na2CO3 The bioreactor is run in batch mode with below parameters: pH: 7.6 (lower limit: 7.45 & upper limit: 7.8), Temperature: 28° C. (lower limit: 25° C. & upper limit: 32° C.), DO (dissolved oxygen): 45% (lower limit: 10%, upper limit: 100%), Stirrer: 550 rpm.
  • The OD600 nm of the culture in the bioreactor reaches 0.15 to 0.18 in 3-4 days. At this point, the culture will consume most of the 50 mM NH4+ present in the AOB growth media, and a user should start feeding the bioreactor with feeding solution at 0.59 ml/min (˜10%). The outflow pump should also be turned on at 0.59 ml/min (˜10%). The OD600 nm of the bioreactor reaches 0.5-0.6 in 1-2 days of continuous culture. The culture in the bioreactor is tested for heterotrophic contaminants by plating 1 ml of the bioreactor outflow on an LB plate.
  • Monitoring Growth of N. eutropha D23
  • Growth of N. eutropha D23 cells is monitored by measuring the OD600 nm of the culture. Typical growth in a batch culture as measured by OD600 nm is between 0.06 to 0.08.
  • The AOB growth medium contains NH4+ that is stoichiometrically converted to NO2− by N. eutropha D23. Another way to monitor the growth of N. eutropha is to follow the release of nitrite (NO2−) in the growth medium. NO2− concentration is determined with Griess reagents, sulfanilamide and N-naphthylethylenediamine (also called NNEQ). Briefly, sulfanilamide and NNEQ are added to a sample and to known concentrations of sodium nitrite that make up a standard curve. Samples are incubated in the dark for 30 minutes. The absorbance is read at 540 nm.
  • Another way to follow nitrite production is by using a spectrophotometer by monitoring the optical density (OD) difference between 352 nm and 400 nm. The nitrite concentration is determined using a millimolar extinction coefficient of 0.0225 mM−1. This assay can be performed directly by sampling the medium with the cells.

  • NO2− concentration (mM)=(OD352−OD400)/0.0225
  • The growth of a mixed culture comprising D23 was monitored by measuring optical density at 600 nm (OD600 nm) and by measuring Nitrite (NO2 ), and the growth rate is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 shows that the optical density at a 600 nm wavelength plateaus slightly below 0.1, after 3 to 4 days. FIG. 2A shows that the amount of nitrite produced plateaus slightly below 25 mM after 3 to 4 days. NO2 concentrations in the cultures were determined colorimetrically by the Griess reagent (Hageman & Hucklesby, 1971), and is used as a second indicator for the growth rates and growth phases since the accumulation of NO2 is consistently proportional to the increase in cell mass during growth.
  • In FIG. 2B-I, increasing densities of D23 harvested from continuous culture were suspended in medium supplemented with 50 mM NH4 + and grown shaking at 30° C. for 48 hours. Nitrite production was measured in supernatant samples using the Griess assay at the time points indicated. Results shown are mean values±SD from three independent experiments.
  • In FIG. 2B-II. Nitrite production by N. eutropha D23 in vitro is shown. Increasing densities of D23 were suspended in mineral salt medium supplemented with 50 mM NH4 + and grown shaking at 30° C. for 24 hr. Nitrite production was measured in supernatant samples using the Griess assay at the time points indicated.
  • Storage Conditions
  • N. eutropha suspensions obtained from the continuous culture system showed remarkable stability upon storage at 4° C. for several months, as indicated by the highly consistent nitrite concentrations generated upon subculture under batch growth conditions. Protocols for storing and recovering N. eutropha are set out below.
  • Obtain 500 ml of a N. eutropha D23 culture grown to late-exponential phase (OD600=0.5-0.6 in continuous culture). Centrifuge at 10,000×g for 15 min at 20° C. Remove supernatant and resuspend the pellet in 50 ml of AOB storage buffer. Spin as above. Remove supernatant and resuspend thoroughly in a total of 50 ml storage buffer. This would be the 10× AOB stock. Store upright at 4° C. in 50 ml polypropylene tubes.
  • AOB Storage Buffer (for AOB storage at 4° C.): 50 mM Na2HPO4-2 mM MgCl2 (pH 7.6) can be made as follows.
  • In 1 Liter ddH2O: Na2HPO4-7.098 g
  • MgCl2-0.1904 g
  • Adjust pH to 7.6. Filter-sterilize.
  • N. eutropha may be cryopreserved as follows. Transfer 1.25 ml of N. eutropha D23 mid-log culture to a 2 ml cryotube and 0.75 ml of sterile 80% glycerol. Shake tubes gently, incubate at room temperature for 15 min to enable uptake of the cryoprotective agents by the cells. Then, put tubes directly in a −80oC freezer for freezing and storage. For resuscitation of cultures, thaw frozen stocks on ice for 10-20 minutes. Centrifuge, at 8,000×g for 3 minutes at 4° C. Discard supernatant and wash the pellet by suspending it in 2 ml AOB medium followed by another centrifugation at 8,000×g for 3 minutes at 4° C. to reduce potential toxicity of the cryoprotective agents in subsequent growth experiments. Discard the supernatant and resuspend the pellet in 2 ml of AOB medium, inoculate into 50 ml of AOB medium containing 50 mM NH4 +, and incubate in dark at 30° C. by shaking at 200 rpm.
  • In FIG. 2C, stability upon storage at 4° C. was studied. N. eutropha D23 previously harvested from continuous culture and stored at 4° C. was inoculated at 109 CFU/ml in mineral salt medium supplemented with 50 mM NH4 + and grown shaking at 30° C. Nitrite production was determined at 24 and 48 hours post-incubation (left and right panel, respectively). Data shown are representative of a D23 suspension sampled repeatedly over a 6-month period.
  • Example 3 Creation of an Axenic D23 Culture
  • To isolate N. eutropha D23 in pure culture, four types of media (described below) were made, autoclaved and poured in plates. Sterile nylon membranes were placed on the plates.
  • N. europaea media+1.2% R2A agar
    N. europaea media+1.2% agar
    N. europaea media+1.2% agarose
    N. europaea media+1.2% agarose+0.3 g/L pyruvate
  • 3 day old N. eutropha D23 culture was streaked onto the nylon membranes and the plates were incubated at 30° C. The plates were monitored daily for growth of red colored N. eutropha cells. Nylon membranes were transferred to fresh plates once a week.
  • Reddish colored colonies appeared on plates with R2A agar or agar by end of 1 week. Single colonies were picked from plates with R2A agar and grown in N. europaea media. The cultures grew well in 6 days to 0.08 OD600 nm. Heterotrophic colonies appeared when the culture was plated on LB-Agar plates.
  • Reddish colored colonies on plates with R2A agar, agar, agarose, or agarose+pyruvate appeared by end of 2 weeks. Single colonies were picked from plates with agar or agarose and grown in N. europaea media. The cultures grew well in 6-8 days to 0.08 OD600 nm. Heterotrophic colonies appeared when the culture was plated on LB-Agar plates.
  • Bright reddish colonies on plates with R2A agar, agar, agarose, or agarose+pyruvate appeared by end of 4 weeks. Single colonies were picked from plates with agarose and grown in N. europaea media. The cultures grew well in 6-8 days to 0.08 OD600 nm. White colonies appeared when the culture was plated on LB-Agar plates.
  • Contaminating bacteria (e.g., non-N. eutropha bacteria present in the mixed culture) were identified by culturing, amplifying 16S rRNA by PCR, and sequencing of the PCR products. Contaminants were identified as Microbacterium sp. and Alcaligenaceae bacterium.
  • To create an axenic culture of D23 (i.e., free of contaminating bacteria) serial dilution was used. Eight single colonies (designated A-H) were picked, and each was placed into a 10 ml culture of N. europae medium. For each culture, five sequential 1:10 dilutions were created. For each culture A-H, growth was observed in the two or three most concentrated of the dilutions.
  • A second serial dilution was carried out. 50 ml of media was inoculated with approximately 2×108 N. eutropha cells, and sequential dilutions of 1:50 were made, such that after the fifth dilution, a flask was expected to have approximately one cell. Flasks that exhibited bacterial growth were plated on LB-agar to assay for contaminating bacteria, and no contaminating bacteria were observed. In addition, no contaminating gram positive cells were observed under the microscope.
  • Accordingly, the serial dilution process yielded an axenic or substantially axenic culture of N. eutropha.
  • Example 4 Sequencing of the D23 Genome
  • Strain D23 was obtained as described in Example 1, and was made axenic as described in Example 3.
  • A 10 ml aliquot the bacterial sample was inoculated into approximately 1 L of N. europaea growth medium described in Example 2. The culture grew well to optical density of 0.08 at 600 nm in a batch culture in 3 days.
  • Total DNA of the culture was prepared and sequenced using Illumina® technology and/or SMRT® DNA Sequencing System technology, Pacific Biosciences. The strain was identified as Nitrosomonas eutropha and was designated D23.
  • The genome sequence of D23 was compared to that of N. eutropha C91, which is believed to be the only other sequenced strain of N. eutropha.
  • The length of the D23 chromosome is 2,537,572 base pairs, which is shorter than the 2,661,057 base pair chromosome of N. eutropha strain C91 chromosome. Based on the 16S-23S operon, strain D23 has 99.46% identity to C91 and 95.38% identity to N. europaea. DNA sequencing of N. eutropha D23 indicated that this strain lacks plasmids. This contrasts with the sequence of strain C91, which has two plasmids.
  • Protein-encoding regions and RNA-encoding sequences were identified by sequence analysis. Supplementary Table 1 is a table of annotations that lists the positions of 2,777 genes in the D23 genome (SEQ ID NO: 1).
  • On the level of individual genes, several genes are present in D23 that are absent in C91. These genes are summarized in FIGS. 6-8. FIG. 6 is a table displaying unique D23 genes with an assigned ORF number and a function based on sequence analysis, or a hypothetical gene above 200 base pairs in length. There are 162 genes in this category. FIG. 7 is a table displaying unique D23 genes below 200 base pairs that have an assigned ORF number. There are 164 of these genes. FIG. 8 is a table displaying unique D23 genes with no assigned ORF number. There are 219 of these genes (of which 180 are below 200 bp in length).
  • Strain D23 also lacks a number of genes that are present (or lack close homologs) in strain C91. These genes are sometimes referred to as unique C91 genes. These genes include the about 300 genes listed in FIG. 9.
  • D23 contains several ammonia metabolism genes that differ from their homologs in C91. Certain of these genes are enumerated in Table 1 of the Detailed Description. Sequence alignments were performed between the D23 proteins and their homologs in strain C91. The sequence alignments are shown in FIGS. 10-16 and sequence differences between the two strains are shown in Table 2 of the Detailed Description.
  • The sequence comparisons revealed the percent sequence identities between the C91 and D23 homologs of each protein. More specifically, FIG. 10 is an alignment between AmoA1 and AmoA2 of strains C91 and D23. Each protein is identical at 273/276 residues, and so each is about 98.9% identical between strains. FIG. 11 is an alignment between AmoB1 and AmoB2 of strains C91 and D23. Both proteins are identical at 419/421 positions, and so are about 99.5% identical between strains. FIG. 12 is an alignment between AmoC1 and AmoC2 of strains C91 and D23. Both proteins are identical throughout. FIG. 13 is an alignment between AmoC3 of strains C91 and D23. This protein is identical at 272/274 positions, and so are about 99.3% identical between strains.
  • As to the Hao proteins, FIG. 14 (A and B) is an alignment between Hao1, Hao2, and Hao3 of strains C91 and D23. Hao1 is identical at 567/570 positions, and so each is about 99.5% identical between strains. Hao2 and Hao3 are each identical at 568/570 positions, and so are about 99.6% identical between strains.
  • Turning now to cytochrome c554 proteins, FIG. 15 is an alignment between CycA1, CycA2, and CycA3 of strains C91 and D23. CycA1 is identical at 233/235 positions, and so is about 99.1% identical between strains. CycA2 and CycA3 are each identical at 234/235 positions, and so each is about 99.6% identical between strains.
  • As to the cytochrome cM552 proteins, FIG. 16 is an alignment between CycB1 and CycB2 of strains C91 and D23. CycB1 is identical at 232/239 positions, and so is about 97.1% identical between strains. CycB2 is identical at 236/239 positions, and so is about 98.7% identical between strains. Here, the length of the protein is considered 239 amino acids because that is its length in strain D23.

  • Example 5 Competitive Growth Studies
  • A study was designed to determine whether N. eutropha strain D23 could inhibit the growth of undesirable bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa or PA), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus or SA), Streptococcus pyogenes (S. pyogenes or SP), Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii or AB), and Propionibacterium acnes, all of which are important pathogenic agents frequently isolated from either one or both of infected skin and wound sites. This protocol may also be used to test other N. eutropha strains for the ability to inhibit the growth of undesirable bacteria.
  • Briefly, a suitable protocol can comprise the following steps. At t=0, a culture is inoculated with N. eutropha, and then the N. eutropha is incubated for 24 hours. Culture characteristics (e.g., pH and nitrite levels) are assayed. At t=24 hours, the undesirable bacterium is added to the culture. Immediately upon addition, samples are obtained for determining CFU/ml of the undesirable bacteria and optionally CFU/ml of N. eutropha, pH, and nitrite levels. Incubation is allowed to proceed for an additional 24 hours. At subsequent timepoints, e.g., t=30 and t=48, one can take the same measurements as at t=24. To determine CFU/ml, one can plate neat/−1/−2/−3/−4/−5 (or higher) to obtain accurate counts.

  • This protocol was used to test N. eutropha D23's ability to inhibit the growth of P. aeruginosa (PA), S. aureus (SA), S. pyogenes (SP), A. baumannii (AB), or P. acnes. The results of this experiment are shown in FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 3C.
  • The left panel of FIG. 3A plots CFU/ml of PA versus time, when PA is co-cultured with live N. eutropha and ammonium (squares), live N. eutropha without ammonium (circles), killed N. eutropha and ammonium (triangles), or live N. eutropha with NaNO2 (inverted triangles). The right panel of FIG. 3A plots CFU/ml of SA versus time, under the same conditions. The left panel of FIG. 3B plots CFU/ml of SP versus time, under the same conditions. The right panel of FIG. 3B plots CFU/ml AB versus time, under the same conditions. FIG. 3C plots CFU/ml of P. acnes versus time, when P. acnes is co-cultured with live N. eutropha and ammonium (squares), live N. eutropha without ammonium (circles), killed N. eutropha and ammonium (triangles), or live N. eutropha with NaNO2 (inverted triangles). In all cases, live N. eutropha with ammonium results in declining numbers of PA, SA, SP, AB, or P. acnes whereas the other culture conditions allow the undesirable bacteria to grow. Without being bound by theory, these experiments suggest that nitrite generation from ammonia concurrently with medium acidification by D23 led to strong antibacterial effects, e.g., an approximately 100-fold reduction in viable counts of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus pyogenes, Acinetobacter baumannii, or P. acnes. By contrast, control co-cultures of pathogenic bacteria either with heat-killed D23 supplemented with ammonia, or with live D23 without ammonia, did not produce comparable antibacterial effects. The control comprising live N. eutropha culture without ammonium is consistent with the model that N. eutropha's ammonia oxidation activity contributes to its antibacterial effects. The control comprising killed N. eutropha and ammonium indicates that some biological activity of the N. eutropha (e.g., its ammonia oxidation activity) contributes to antibacterial activity. The control comprising live N. eutropha with NaNO2 indicates that comparable nitrite levels at neutral pH (versus low pH when the bacteria use ammonia) do not have a strong antimicrobial effect, and is consistent with the model that N. eutropha's oxidation of ammonia, rather than nitrite alone, contributes to the antibacterial activity.
  • The top panel of FIG. 4A plots the NO2 concentration over time in the co-cultures described in the paragraph above. NO2 concentration is an indication of the rate of NH3 metabolism in the cultures. As above, PA is co-cultured with N. eutropha and ammonium (squares), N. eutropha without ammonium (circles), or killed N. eutropha and ammonium (triangles). Live N. eutropha with ammonium produces dramatically higher NO2 levels than the two control cultures, indicating that the live N. eutropha converts ammonium into NO2 under the culture conditions.
  • The bottom panel of FIG. 4A plots pH over time in the same co-culturing conditions. pH indicates the metabolic activity of the N. eutropha because the conversion of ammonia to nitrite produces hydrogen ions. PA is co-cultured with N. eutropha and ammonium (squares), N. eutropha without ammonium (circles), killed N. eutropha and ammonium (triangles), or live N. eutropha with NaNO2 (inverted triangles). Live N. eutropha with ammonium acidifies the medium, in contrast to the three control cultures, indicating that the live N. eutropha metabolizes ammonium under the culture conditions.
  • The top panels of FIG. 4B plot the NO2 concentration over time in the co-cultures described above. NO2 concentration is an indication of the rate of NH3 metabolism in the cultures. As above, S. pyogenes (SP) and A. baumannii (AB) are co-cultured with N. eutropha and ammonium (squares), N. eutropha without ammonium (circles), or killed N. eutropha and ammonium (triangles). Live N. eutropha with ammonium produces dramatically higher NO2 levels than the two control cultures, indicating that the live N. eutropha converts ammonium into NO2 under the culture conditions.
  • The bottom panels of FIG. 4B plot pH over time in the same co-culturing conditions. pH indicates the metabolic activity of the N. eutropha because the conversion of ammonia to nitrite produces hydrogen ions. SP and AB are co-cultured with N. eutropha and ammonium (squares), N. eutropha without ammonium (circles), killed N. eutropha and ammonium (triangles), or live N. eutropha with NaNO2 (inverted triangles). Live N. eutropha with ammonium acidifies the medium, in contrast to the three control cultures, indicating that the live N. eutropha metabolizes ammonium under the culture conditions.
  • FIG. 4E shows an alternative visualization the data of FIGS. 4A and 4B.
  • The capacity of Nitrosomonas eutropha D23 to inhibit proliferation of pathogenic bacteria due to nitrite production concurrent with acidification (acidified nitrite) was assessed by testing the survival of 5 strains of pathogenic bacteria in co-culture studies with D23 in vitro. The five strains of pathogenic bacteria included Propionibacterium acnes, Streptococcus pyogenes, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. Incubation of N. eutropha D23 (1010 cells/ml) in the presence of ammonium led to nitrite concentrations of 10 mM or higher and acidification to pH 6 or lower (FIG. 4B). The combination of increased nitrite concentration and lowering of pH led to bactericidal or bacteriostatic effects and a marked reduction (up to 965-fold) in viable counts of the pathogenic bacterial species tested. The results of these studies are summarized in FIG. 4D and Table 7, below. In contrast to the D23 co-cultures incubated in the presence of ammonium, control co-cultures of the five pathogenic agents with D23 without ammonium, or with heat-killed D23 (B244) supplemented with ammonium, did not lead to any inhibitory or antimicrobial effects.

  • Example 6 Wound Healing
  • The effect of Nitrosomonas eutropha D23 (sometimes also called B244) on wound closure in diabetic mice was evaluated in two separate studies. In Study 1, db/db mice (8 mice/group) were pre-treated by body immersion daily for one week with 3 concentrations of D23 (107, 108 or 109 cells/ml) supplemented with ammonium chloride, or with vehicle control suspension only. Subsequently, full-thickness wounds generated on the back of each animal were treated topically once daily for 14 days with vehicle alone or equal volumes of 3 concentrations of D23 (107, 108 or 109 cells/ml) in PBS supplemented ammonium chloride. Of the three D23-treated groups, the group receiving the highest dose showed significant improvement in wound closure from day 5 to day 15, with the most pronounced improvement of 83% observed on day 9 post-wounding. The median time to 50% wound closure was significantly reduced (P<0.05) for the animals treated with 109 cells/ml of D23, as compared to the animal group receiving vehicle treatment alone.
  • Initial histopathology analyses of wound tissue samples collected on Day 15 upon study completion did not reveal any gross differences between vehicle- and D23-treated animals. Subsequently, a more in-depth examination of the tissue sections was performed according to the scoring system and parameters adapted and modified form Altavilla, et al (2001). This analysis suggested a trend of increased levels of angiogenesis and maturity of granulation tissue with decreased levels of dermal inflammation in animals treated with 109 cells/ml of D23 versus the vehicle control group, which was consistent with the observed improvement in wound healing rates of the D23-treated animals
  • N. eutropha strain D23 was tested for its ability to accelerate wound healing in a diabetic mouse model, using C57BLKS/J Iar−+Leprdb/+Leprdb male mice (non-GLP). A detailed protocol is set out below.
  • Day −6 to Day 1: Whole-Body Immersion Pre-Treatment of Mice with Test Organism
      • 1. Mix the 10×D23 stock suspension stored at 4° C. by inverting several times until a homogenous suspension is obtained.
      • 2. Pipet 2×29 ml of the 10× stock suspension into two 50 ml polypropylene centrifuge tubes.
      • 3. Centrifuge at 8,000×g for 15 min at 20° C.
      • 4. Remove supernatant and any residual buffer from the pellets and resuspend the two pellets gently but thoroughly into a total of 58 ml room-temperature Phosphate Buffered Saline, pH 7.4 (PBS). This is the 10×D23 (Test Organism) suspension to use for the following steps.
      • 5. Prepare 500 ml baths containing the Test Organism at 1×, 0.1× and 0.01× strength in pre-warmed PBS at 30° C. supplemented with 2 mM NH4Cl, or a Vehicle control bath, as shown below. Prepare and use one bath at a time from the 10×D23 suspension kept at room temperature before continuing with the next bath. This will prevent keeping the Test Substance at 30° C. for long time periods without ammonium. To prevent contamination of the Vehicle control group with the Test Substance, begin with the Vehicle control group before proceeding with the D23 baths.
      • 6. Immerse each group of mice in corresponding baths for 60 sec daily for seven days.
      • 7. Use a fresh 500 ml baths for each daily immersion into the Test Organism or Vehicle control.

      • 2. House each mouse separately for the remainder of the study.
        Day 1 to Day 15: Topical Treatment of Skin Wounds with Test Organism
      • 1. Mix the 10×D23 stock suspension stored at 4° C. by inverting several times until a homogenous suspension is obtained.
      • 2. Pipet 1 ml of the 10× stock suspension into a 1.5 ml polypropylene tube.
      • 3. Centrifuge at 17,000×g for 3 min at room temperature.
      • 4. Remove supernatant and any residual buffer from the pellet and resuspend pellet gently but thoroughly into a total of 10 ml pre-warmed Phosphate Buffered Saline, pH 7.4 (PBS) at 30° C. This is the 1×D23 (Test Organism) suspension to use for the following steps.
      • 5. Prepare 1×, 0.1× and 0.01× suspensions of the Test Organism in pre-warmed PBS supplemented with 2 mM NH4Cl, or a Vehicle control solution, in 50 ml polypropylene tubes as shown below.
      • 6. Draw 2.0 ml of each suspension using a repetitive pipet.
      • 7. Drip slowly 0.2 ml of the Test Organism (1×, 0.1×, 0.01× groups), or an equal volume of Vehicle control, onto each wound and surrounding shaved skin area. Gently spread applied suspension onto the wound and the entire shaved skin area using a pipet tip.
      • 8. Repeat application of Test Organism or Vehicle control daily for a total of 14 days.
      • 9. Measure wound size by wound planimetry and obtain photo images of each wound on Day 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 using Image Analyzer (Image-pro plus version 4.5, Media Cybernetics Inc).
      • 10. Calculate % wound closure and wound half-closure time (CT50) for each group.

  • Day 15 (Upon Study Completion): Collection of Wound Tissues Samples and Histopathology Analyses
      • 1. Obtain half-wound tissue samples from four mice per group using aseptic technique to avoid cross-contamination of tissues.
      • 2. Proceed with histopathology analyses.
      • 3. Store temporarily at −70° C. the remainder half-wound samples and the additional four full-size wound tissues from each group for further evaluation.
  • As shown in FIG. 5A, topical application of 109 CFU/ml of strain D23 significantly (*p<0.05) accelerated wound healing. The sample size was N=8 animals/gp. The group receiving the highest doses showed significant improvement in would closure from day 5 to day 15, with the most pronounced improvement of 83% observed on day 9, post-wounding. This study demonstrates the potential therapeutic benefit of ammonia oxidizing bacteria, e.g., D23, to diabetic foot ulcers, chronic wounds, and other related indications.
  • FIG. 5B is a plot showing CT50 versus control (vehicle) and 109 CFU/ml D23. CT50 is the time required to achieve a 50% wound closure. As shown in the plot, those wounds having application of D23 provided for lower CT50 values.
  • FIG. 5C is a plot of another experiment in which the protocol above was carried out to obtain wound closure measurements versus time. Control (vehicle) wounds were tested and compared to D23 at 109 CFU/ml wounds. This plot shows the effects of D23 when immersion pre-treatment and topical application was carried out.
  • FIG. 5D is a plot of another experiment in which the protocol above was carried out, without immersion pre-treatment, to obtain wound closure measurements versus time. Control (vehicle) wounds were tested and compared to applications of D23 at 109 CFU/ml and 1010 CFU/ml to wounds. This plot shows the effects of D23 when topical application was carried out.
  • FIG. 5E is a plot showing CT50 versus control (vehicle) and 109 CFU/ml D23, with and without immersion pre-treatment, and 109 CFU/ml D23 without pre-treatment. As shown in the plot, those wounds having application of D23 provided for lower CT50 values.
  • FIG. 5F are images of the wound healing experiments, at Day 1, Day 11, and Day 15. AOB represents D23.
  • Possible modulation of inflammatory responses coupled with ant-infective action of D23 could prove an effective topical treatment against diabetic and other chronic wounds.
  • FIG. 5G are plots of blood glucose levels in the mice tested for the control (vehicle) and various concentrations of D23. “IM” shown in the x-axis of the right-hand panel plot represents those tests down with an immersion pre-treatment of D23. FIG. 5H is a plot of body weight of the animals used in testing for the study including immersion pre-treatment, over the time of the study. FIG. 5I are plots of body weight of the animals used in testing for the study, including the immersion pre-treatment study, and the study done without immersion pre-treatment, over the time of the studies.
  • In Study 2, the effect of pretreatment of db/db mice with 109 cells/ml of B244 on wound closure was examined. Groups of seven mice were treated topically with 109 cells/ml of B244 with and without prior body immersion. One additional group of seven mice was treated topically with 1010 cells/ml of D23 (B244). Corresponding vehicle groups (seven mice) were run in parallel with and without body immersion as negative controls. Wound surface area and photo images of each wound were obtained as before. These studies reproduced the findings of Study 1 suggesting improvement of wound closure with a B244 dose of approximately 109 cells/ml. Moreover, topical treatment alone with 109 cells/ml improved wound closure rates similar to the animals receiving topical treatments with immersion. Additional histopathology analyses by of H & E—stained wound tissue sections recovered on Day 5 did not reveal any differences between vehicle and D23 (B244)-treated wounds.
  • Cytokine and growth factor expression in D23-treated diabetic animals was investigated using Luminex technology. Specifically, expression of growth-regulated oncogene/keratinocyte chemoattractant (Gro/KC), interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was compared between D23-treated and control diabetic animals in serum samples obtained on Day 5 and Day 15 from four mice per group treated with or without prior body immersion. In similar Luminex analyses, lysates of tissues from D23-treated or Vehicle control animals obtained upon completion of the study (Day 15) were also analyzed. Abnormally high and sustained expression of inflammation markers, including MIP-2, TNFα and IL-1β, has been previously associated with a dysregulated inflammatory response and impaired wound healing processes in db/db mice (Wetzler, 2000). Analyses of Day 5 and Day 15 serum samples yielded very low signal for all six cytokines in both D23-treated and vehicle control animals, a result indicating the lack of systemic effects following wound treatment with high D23 doses. In wound tissue lysates obtained on Day 15, MIP-2 levels (1155-1516 pg/100 g total protein) were significantly higher than the remaining five cytokines, with IL-6 and Gro/KC measured at much lower levels (44-48 pg/100 g total protein) and both IL-1 and VEGF being close to undetectable (≦3.8 pg/100 g total protein). Overall, no difference was observed between D23-treated animals and vehicle control animals with or without full-body immersion in D23 suspensions. The levels of all six cytokines or growth factors measured in tissue lysates of all four groups of mice examined are summarized in Table 10 below.

  • For induction of diabetes, Streptozotocin was administered to Sprague Dawley rats via intraperitoneal injection on Day −4. Animals with blood glucose levels of >200 mg/dL were considered as responders to the Streptozotocin treatment and were used for the dosing phase of the study. Two full-thickness skin wounds were created per animal (1 on each side of the back of each anesthetized animal) using an 8-mm skin biopsy punch. The wounds were left uncovered during administration of the control and test article and also for the duration of the study. The test and control articles were administered to the appropriate animals dermally once daily (for 24 hours±1 hour) from Days 1 to 28. The end points evaluated in this study were the following: clinical signs, dermal findings, body weights, body weight changes, food consumption, ophthalmology, glucose analysis, clinical pathology parameters (hematology, coagulation, clinical chemistry, urinalysis, hemoglobin A1c, and methemoglobulin), C-reactive protein and serum ferritin analysis, toxicokinetic parameters, gross necropsy findings, organ weights, and wound histopathology.

  • Conclusions
      • Once daily application of D23 (B244) on rat wounds was well tolerated at levels of 6×107, 6×108, and 6×109 CFU/kg/day.
      • No D23 (B244)-related mortality observed during the study
      • Healing of full tissue thickness excisions was similar in all groups
      • No D23 (B244)-related clinical signs or dermal irritation were observed
      • No effects observed during the study on body weight, food consumption, clinical pathology parameters, c-reactive protein, or serum ferritin
      • No test article-related gross necropsy findings or histopathologic findings
      • The no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) was determined to be 6×109 CFU/kg/day (8×109 cells/ml)
      • No specific target organs were identified
  • No D23 related mortality occurred during the study. There were no D23-related clinical signs or dermal irritation, and there were no effects on body weight, body weight changes, food consumption, clinical pathology parameters, C-reactive protein, or serum ferritin during the study. There were no test article-related gross necropsy findings or histopathologic findings. Increases in adrenal weights were noted in the >6×108 CFU/kg/day females on Day 29; however, association with D23 was considered equivocal based on the lack of a similar effect in the males, the lack of corresponding gross findings, and the lack of microscopic evaluation of this tissue.
  • All wound sites were completely covered by epidermis and appeared to be in the remodeling/resolution phase, which was characterized by stratification of the epidermis with keratinization and refinement of the dermal collagen (synthesis, bundling, and degradation) and capillaries to restore the normal architecture of the epidermis and dermis. The incidence and severity were similar in all groups, including controls.
  • Example 8 Antibiotic Susceptibility
  • The activities of five antibiotics, each representing a different antibiotic class, were tested against Nitrosomonas eutropha D23. The antibiotics tested included clindamycin, erythromycin, gentamicin, piperacillin with or without the β-lactamase inhibitor Tazobactam, and tetracycline. These were chosen based on the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommendations for routine testing and reporting of phylogenetically-related proteobacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) listed under Non-fastidious organisms and Non-Enterobacteriaceae in the CLSI 24th Informational Supplement (M100-524), and also included topical or systemic antimicrobial agents commonly used against acne, such as clindamycin or tetracycline. Studies with clindamycin were included even though this antibiotic was not expected to be very effective at inhibiting Nitrosomonas, as is the case for other aerobic Gram-negative bacteria.
  • Minimal Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) were determined by culturing N. eutropha D23 in decreasing concentrations of each of the five antibiotics. Bacterial growth at 30° C. was monitored for 48-72 hr by determining optical density (OD600) values in samples collected at 24 hr intervals. MIC values were identified as the lowest antibiotic concentration from a two-fold dilution series leading to no increase in OD600 measurements for the 2 or 3-day incubation period. The N. eutropha D23 phenotype in each antibiotic test was determined as Susceptible, Intermediate, or Resistant according to the MIC Interpretive Criteria provided by the CLSI. As summarized in Table 13, these studies demonstrated susceptibility of N. eutropha D23 to erythromycin and gentamicin and intermediate resistance to tetracycline and piperacillin suggesting the lack of strong antibiotic-resistance potential by the Drug Substance. Clindamycin resistance observed for N. eutropha D23 is in agreement with previous reports for natural resistance of aerobic Gram-negative bacteria to this antibiotic. In addition to testing the β-lactam antibiotic piperacillin alone, the broad range β-lactamase inhibitor Tazobactam was also tested in combination with piperacillin to assess the possible expression of β-lactamase(s) by N. eutropha D23. The results from this comparison showed no increase in N. eutropha D23 susceptibility, indicating the absence of β-lactamase expression by N. eutropha D23, at least under the conditions tested.

  • Example 9 Elucidation of Structure of N. eutropha
  • N. eutropha was defined at the species and the strain level using PCR and gene sequencing methodologies. The species level was defined as N. eutropha by sequencing of the V1-V5 variable regions of the 16S rRNA gene. N. eutropha was defined as a novel N. eutropha strain D23 by identification of a unique gene from whole genome sequence analysis. N. eutropha was defined at the species level as N. eutropha by 16S rRNA gene sequencing using the MicroSeq 500 rDNA Bacterial Identification PCL and sequencing kit.
  • Strain identity may be determined using custom primers, which correspond to the underlined portions of the following sequence and the D23 1c1355 sequence & primers Table 14 below. While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that gene D23 1c1355 is unique to N. eutropha D23, and thus performing a PCR amplification reaction within gene D23 1c1355 will indicate whether N. eutropha D23 is present in a given sample.

  • Example 10 Administering Ammonia Oxidizing Bacteria to the Back of the Head to Change the Skin Microbiome
  • Ammonia oxidizing bacteria (N. eutropha D23) was applied topically to the back of the head of a subject for over 2 weeks. The dose was 3×1010 CFU applied per day. The product concentration was 1×109 CFU/ml (15 ml, two times a day) in a phosphate buffer with magnesium chloride. On each day a skin swab was taken to isolate and sequence all the bacterial DNA that was present, using isolation and sequencing protocols known in the art.
  • Ammonia oxidizing bacteria of the genus Nitrosomonas was not present in the Day 0 sample, and was detected and present in the Day 7, 14, and 16 skin swabs.
  • As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, which plots the proportion versus bacterial genus for Day 0, 1, 8, 14, and 16, the application of ammonia oxidizing bacteria led to proportional increases in commensal non-pathogenic Staphylococcus (which was at least 98% Staphylococcus epidermidis) from close to 0% on day 0 to approximately 50% on day 16. Additionally, application of ammonia oxidizing bacteria led to a proportional reduction in potentially pathogenic or disease associated Propionibacteria over the time period tested (from over 75% on day 0 to less than 50% on day 16). Application of ammonia oxidizing bacteria also led to reductions in potentially pathogenic or disease associated Stenotrophomonas over the time period tested (from 0.1% on day 0 to less than 0.01% on day 16.)
  • Some of the data shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is also presented below in Table 15.
  • TABLE 15
    Genera by Day
    Proportion Proportion Proportion
    by genus: by genus: by genus:
    Day Propionibacteria Staphylococci Stenotrophomonas

    1 0.79 0.1 0
    8 0.8 0.15 0
    14 0.55 0.45 0.001
    16 0.48 0.49 0
  • As shown in Table 15, the proportion of Propionibacteria was reduced after about 14 days (compare data for Day 0, 1, and 8 with Day 14 and 16 in Table 15). The proportion of Staphylococci increased after about two weeks (compare data for Day 0, 1, and 8 with Day 14 and 16 in Table 15). The proportion of Stenotrophomonas decreased after about 1 day (compare data for Day 0 with Day 1, 8, 14, and 16 in Table 15).
  • These changes in the skin microbiome composition to a less pathogenic state indicate that application of ammonia oxidizing bacteria would be useful in treatment of dermatologic diseases including but not limited to acne, eczema, skin infections, and rosacea.
  • Example 11 Studies with Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria for the Human Skin: Cosmetic Effects, Safety, Detection and Skin Metagenomics
  • A blinded, placebo-controlled 24 human volunteer study randomized 4:1 AOB to placebo control was performed. Subjects applied a Nitrosomonas suspension (109 CFU/ml, 2 times per day, for a total of 3×1010 CFU per day) to their face and scalp twice daily for one week and were followed for two additional weeks post-application. Volunteers were instructed to refrain from using hair products during the one-week AOB application as well as the week following application, then returned to regular shampoo use for the third week. Scalp swabs were obtained on Day 0 as baseline controls and on Day 1, 3, 8, 14 and 21 to assess presence/absence of AOB by PCR and 16S rRNA sequencing analyses.
  • No serious adverse events were associated with AOB application for one week and the product was deemed safe. AOB users reported a clear improvement in skin condition and quality, as indicated by self-assessment reports completed after the seven-day application period. Using AOB-specific PCR analyses of the skin samples, we could demonstrate presence of the bacteria in 83-100% of AOB users during the application period, whereas no AOB were detected in the placebo control samples. All subjects lacked AOB from baseline swabs obtained prior to study initiation, consistent with the predicted sensitivity of these bacteria to soaps and other commercial products. Amplification of the 16S rRNA gene and sequencing of a subset of samples confirmed presence of AOB in corresponding samples and suggested potential trends in modulating the skin microbiome by topical AOB application. In summary, live AOB-based products are safe and could hold great promise as novel self-regulating topical delivery agents of nitrite and nitric oxide to the human skin.
  • As shown in Table 16, below, the proportion of Nitrosomonas (AOB) went up when comparing Day 0 versus Day 8. The proportion of other bacteria, Propionibacterium, Enterobacter, and Citrobacter went down, when comparing Day 0 versus Day 8. The p-values indicated in Table 16 demonstrate that the most significant change between Day 0 and Day 8 was observed with Nitrosomonas (AOB) followed by Propionibacterium. Enterobacter and Citrobacter also showed changes between Day 0 and Day 8 to a lesser degree.

    Trends in microbiome composition following AOB application

  • Because nitrite and nitric oxide have been implicated in critical physiological functions, such as vasodilation, skin inflammation and wound healing, we have hypothesized that AOB may have beneficial effects on both healthy and immunopathological skin conditions by metabolizing ammonia from sweat while concurrently driving skin acidification. We reasoned that Nitrosomonas would be safe for human use because they are slow-growing and incapable of utilizing organic carbon sources, they are sensitive to antibiotics, and they have never been linked to animal or human disease. Here we describe a blinded, placebo-controlled 24 human volunteer study where subjects applied a live Nitrosomonas suspension to their face and scalp twice daily for one week and were subsequently followed for two additional weeks. Volunteers did not use hair products during the first and second week, then they returned to their regular routine for the third week. Scalp swabs were obtained on Day 0 as baseline controls and on Day 1, 3, 8, 14 and 21 to assess presence/absence of Nitrosomonas and to examine microbial diversity. Importantly, no adverse events were associated with topical application. PCR analyses demonstrated presence of the bacteria in 83%-100% of skin swabs obtained from AOB users during or immediately after completion of the one-week application period ( Day 1, 3 or 8) and in 60% of the users on Day 14, but not in any of the placebo control samples. All subjects lacked AOB from baseline swabs obtained prior to study initiation. Increased levels of AOB during the one-week application period correlated with a qualitative improvement in skin condition, in contrast to no improvement reported by placebo control subjects. Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene amplification product obtained from a subset of subjects verified the presence of AOB in corresponding samples and suggested potential modulation of the skin microbiome composition. In summary, live Nitrosomonas are well tolerated and may hold promise as novel self-regulating topical delivery agents of nitrite and nitric oxide to the human skin.
  • Here, we present the results from preliminary studies in humans where we have begun evaluating topical application of a Nitrosomonas suspension to the human skin and the potential of using AOB as natural delivery systems of NO/NO2 in vivo. We have explored methodologies for AOB detection in skin specimens and the possible effects of AOB in skin microbial communities, as well as collected important user feedback from the early adopters of our topical cosmetic.
  • Methods
  • Culture Conditions.
  • N. eutropha D23 was propagated in batch culture at 28-30° C. in mineral salt medium supplemented with 20-50 mM NH4 + and sodium carbonate as the carbon source [Ensign et al, 1993]. For continuous culture, D23 was grown at ˜109 cells/ml in a 1 liter mini-Bioreactor (Applikon Biotechnology) at 28° C. using sodium carbonate for both pH neutralization and the carbon source.
  • Nitrite Quantification.
  • Nitrite concentrations in culture supernatants were determined using the Griess colorimetric assay [Hageman and Kucklesby, 1971] and sodium nitrite as standards.
  • DNA Extraction from Skin Swabs.
  • Samples were maintained in 1 ml of 10% AssayAssure Bioservative (Thermo Scientific) diluted in PBS. Biomass was centrifuged and cells were lysed using a method developed for skin specimens [Grice, 2009] with modifications to the buffer designed to maintain long DNA integrity. DNA was then purified using the PowerLyzer UltraClean microbial DNA isolation kit (Mo Bio Laboratories). N. eutropha D23 was identified using a 3-gene PCR signature amplifying the ammonia monooxygenase encoding locus amoCAB.
  • PCR and Library Preparation.
  • Full-length 16S rRNA genes were amplified in duplicate reactions using a cocktail of primers and AccuPrime DNA polymerase SuperMix kit (Life Technologies). All PCR products were directly treated with the SMRTbell Template Prep Kit followed by the DNA/Polymerase Binding Kit P4 (Pacific Biosciences).
  • 16S rDNA Sequencing and Analysis.
  • PCR products were sequenced using the Pacific Biosciences RS instrument [Eid, 2009]. Raw base calls were transformed to consensus DNA sequences using the Pacific Biosciences Consensus Tools package and then processed with the Whole Biome Microbiome Profiling Platform to obtain phylum-genus and strain-level frequency measures for each sample.
  • Human Volunteer Study.
  • A total of 24 male volunteers were included in a blinded, placebo-controlled, study each for a total of three weeks according to a protocol for topical AOB-001 use approved by the Allendale Institutional Review Board (Old Lyme, Conn.). Written informed consent was obtained from each study participant. Subjects applied 15 ml of an aqueous suspension of N. eutropha (AOB-001), or placebo (vehicle), twice daily containing ˜109 cells/ml.
  • The human volunteer study design for the preliminary evaluation of a Nitrosomonas-containing topical suspension (AOB-001) is shown in FIG. 5K. Detection of AOB was performed by PCR in scalp swab samples. FIG. 5L shows PCR analyses of scalp swabs collected during the study. The left panel indicates the percent-positive samples for AOB-specific three-gene signature (amoA, amoB, amoC). The right panel indicates the Composite PCR scores for a total of six samples collected from each of 23 volunteers. The scoring scheme used for the positive samples collected at each of six sampling points is indicated.
  • Skin microbiome composition prior and during AOB-001 application were obtained by 16S rDNA sequencing. FIG. 5M indicates that genus-level bacterial diversity as determined by 16S rDNA sequencing in skin swab samples collected before and after topical application of AOB-001.
  • The percentage of the total sequence reads representing each of twelve bacterial genera in samples collected at baseline prior to application (Day 0) and immediately after the one week application (Day 8), or one week after stopping topical application (Day 14), are shown.
  • FIG. 5N indicates changes in abundance of Nitrosomonas and other species in skin samples collected before and after AOB-001 application. Panel A shows percentages of the total 16S rDNA sequence reads representing Nitrosomonas prior to application (Day 0), immediately after the one-week application (Day 8), or one week after terminating application (Day 14) are shown. Panel B shows a change in patterns in abundance of species detected by 16S rDNA sequencing in Day 0 versus Day 8 samples collected from AOB users.
  • AOB-001 users report an improvement in skin condition. FIG. 5O shows a user evaluation of AOB-001. Assessment of AOB-001 cosmetic effects was provided by 23 volunteers upon completion of the one week application to their scalp and face. Subjects were plotted in order of increasing composite PCR scores. (The responses were categorized as 2=agree strongly; 0=no change; −2=disagree strongly). In summary, AOB-001 is well-tolerated. The user responses in a blind study indicate improved skin/scalp condition. AOB (Nitrosomonas) are readily detectable in skin microbiome samples by PCR and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Preliminary microbiome analyses indicate modulation of skin microbiota by AOB.
