| kinetic mechanism and location of rate-determining steps for aspartase from hafnia alvei. | coupled spectrophotometric assays that monitor the formation of fumarate and ammonia in the direction of aspartate deamination and aspartate in the direction of fumarate amination were used to collect initial velocity data for the aspartase reaction. data are consistent with rapid equilibrium ordered addition of mg2+ prior to aspartate but completely random release of mg2+, nh4+, or fumarate. in addition to mg2+, mn2+ can also be used as a divalent metal with vmax 80% and a kaspartate 3.5-fold l ... | 1984 | 6509019 |
| retardation of wool growth in merino sheep caused by bacteria. | a condition evidenced by retarded growth of wool with alteration of the yolk into a yellow, sticky, wax-like substance was investigated. the condition was associated with hyperaemia and cellular infiltration into the dermis in the affected areas. three bacterial species, viz. enterobacter aerogenes, e. agglomerans and hafnia alvei, which could grow on the water-extractable component of wool-yolk, were incriminated as the cause of the condition. | 1983 | 6676689 |
