biotransformation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene by pure culture ruminal bacteria.	twenty-one ruminal bacteria species were tested for their ability to degrade 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (tnt) within 24 h. butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, fibrobacter succinogenes, lactobacillus vitulinus, selenomonas ruminantium, streptococcus caprinus, and succinivibrio dextrinosolvens were able to completely degrade 100 mg/l tnt, with <5% of the original tnt recovered as diaminonitrotoluene metabolites. eubacterium ruminantium, lactobacillus ruminis, ruminobacter amylophilus, streptococcus bovis, and w ...	2009	18839246
production, characterization and determination of the real catalytic properties of the putative 'succinate dehydrogenase' from wolinella succinogenes.	both the genomes of the epsilonproteobacteria wolinella succinogenes and campylobacter jejuni contain operons (sdhabe) that encode for so far uncharacterized enzyme complexes annotated as 'non-classical' succinate:quinone reductases (sqrs). however, the role of such an enzyme ostensibly involved in aerobic respiration in an anaerobic organism such as w. succinogenes has hitherto been unknown. we have established the first genetic system for the manipulation and production of a member of the non- ...	2009	19170876
histidine residue 94 is involved in ph sensing by histidine kinase arss of helicobacter pylori.	the arsrs two-component system is the master regulator of acid adaptation in the human gastric pathogen helicobacter pylori. low ph is supposed to trigger the autophosphorylation of the histidine kinase arss and the subsequent transfer of the phosphoryl group to its cognate response regulator arsr which then acts as an activator or repressor of ph-responsive genes. orthologs of the arsrs two-component system are also present in h. pylori's close relatives h. hepaticus, campylobacter jejuni and w ...	2009	19759826

insights into the molecular basis of the microaerophily of three campylobacterales: a comparative study.	the concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere is a common environmental factor which can also be a source of stress for microorganisms. comparative analyses of the responses of the epsilon-proteobacteria campylobacter jejuni, helicobacter pylori and wolinella succinogenes to elevated oxygen concentrations were carried out using transcriptomics. microarray data were analysed to determine genes differentially expressed under elevated oxygen concentrations. the results indicated 158, 58 and 82 gene ...	2009	19669588
substrate specificity of three cytochrome c haem lyase isoenzymes from wolinella succinogenes: unconventional haem c binding motifs are not sufficient for haem c attachment by nrfi and ccsa1.	bacterial c-type cytochrome maturation is dependent on a complex enzymic machinery. the key reaction is catalysed by cytochrome c haem lyase (cchl) that usually forms two thioether bonds to attach haem b to the cysteine residues of a haem c binding motif (hbm) which is, in most cases, a cx(2)ch sequence. here, the hbm specificity of three distinct cchl isoenzymes (nrfi, ccsa1 and ccsa2) from the epsilonproteobacterium wolinella succinogenes was investigated using either w. succinogenes or escher ...	2010	19919672
detection and identification of rumen bacteria constituting a fibrolytic consortium dominated by fibrobacter succinogenes.	a fibrolytic consortium, dominated by the rumen cellulolytic bacterium fibrobacter succinogenes, was artificially constructed on hay stems to detect and identify rumen bacteria that can potentially interact with f. succinogenes. consortium-bacterial members were determined by dgge and sequencing analysis targeted bacterial 16s rdna. an artificial consortium was formed in a 2-step incubation of hay stems; the first step with group 1, 2 or 3 f. succinogenes strains, the second step with rumen flui ...	2010	20163675
protein thiocarboxylate-dependent methionine biosynthesis in wolinella succinogenes.	thiocarboxylated proteins are important intermediates in a variety of biochemical sulfide transfer reactions. here we identify a protein thiocarboxylate-dependent methionine biosynthetic pathway in wolinella succinogenes. in this pathway, the carboxy terminal alanine of a novel sulfur transfer protein, hcys-ala, is removed in a reaction catalyzed by a metalloprotease, hcyd. hcyf, an atp-utilizing enzyme, catalyzes the adenylation of hcys. hcys acyl-adenylate then undergoes nucleophilic substitut ...	2010	21162571
minimal incision techniques for digital deformities.	we have presented basic minimal incision approaches to the more common digital deformities. we feel that with proper evaluation of the deformity and the patient, minimal incision surgery techniques give excellent long-term results with several advantages. these advantages include: less discomfort due to less surgical dissection. less need for internal fixation by careful use of compression dressings in the immediate postoperative period along with early ambulation. less disability. compression d ...	2010	2937517
essential histidine pairs indicate conserved haem binding in epsilonproteobacterial cytochrome c haem lyases.	bacterial cytochrome c maturation occurs at the outside of the cytoplasmic membrane, requires transport of haem b across the membrane, and depends on membrane-bound cytochrome c haem lyase (cchl), an enzyme that catalyses covalent attachment of haem b to apocytochrome c. epsilonproteobacteria such as wolinella succinogenes use the cytochrome c biogenesis system ii and contain unusually large cchl proteins of about 900 amino acid residues that appear to be fusions of the ccsb and ccsa proteins fo ...	2010	20705660

respiratory nitrogen metabolism and nitrosative stress defence in ?-proteobacteria: the role of nssr-type transcription regulators.	?-proteobacteria form a globally ubiquitous group of ecologically significant organisms and comprise a diverse range of host-associated and free-living species. to grow by anaerobic respiration, many ?-proteobacteria reduce nitrate to nitrite followed by either nitrite ammonification or denitrification. using the ammonifying model organisms wolinella succinogenes and campylobacter jejuni, the electron transport chains of nitrate respiration, respiratory nitrite ammonification and even n2o (nitro ...	2011	21265792
quantification of ploidy in proteobacteria revealed the existence of monoploid, (mero-)oligoploid and polyploid species.	bacteria are generally assumed to be monoploid (haploid). this assumption is mainly based on generalization of the results obtained with the most intensely studied model bacterium, escherichia coli (a gamma-proteobacterium), which is monoploid during very slow growth. however, several species of proteobacteria are oligo- or polyploid, respectively. to get a better overview of the distribution of ploidy levels, genome copy numbers were quantified in four species of three different groups of prote ...	2011	21305010
the oxidative and nitrosative stress defence network of wolinella succinogenes: cytochrome c nitrite reductase mediates the stress response to nitrite, nitric oxide, hydroxylamine and hydrogen peroxide.	microorganisms employ diverse mechanisms to withstand physiological stress conditions exerted by reactive or toxic oxygen and nitrogen species such as hydrogen peroxide, organic hydroperoxides, superoxide anions, nitrite, hydroxylamine, nitric oxide or no-generating compounds. this study identified components of the oxidative and nitrosative stress defence network of wolinella succinogenes, an exceptional epsilonproteobacterium that lacks both catalase and haemoglobins. various gene deletion-ins ...	2011	21672122
the electron transfer complex between nitrous oxide reductase and its electron donors.	identifying redox partners and the interaction surfaces is crucial for fully understanding electron flow in a respiratory chain. in this study, we focused on the interaction of nitrous oxide reductase (n(2)or), which catalyzes the final step in bacterial denitrification, with its physiological electron donor, either a c-type cytochrome or a type 1 copper protein. the comparison between the interaction of n(2)or from three different microorganisms, pseudomonas nautica, paracoccus denitrificans, a ...	2011	21739254
a novel mechanism of sulfur transfer catalyzed by o-acetylhomoserine sulfhydrylase in the methionine-biosynthetic pathway of wolinella succinogenes.	o-acetylhomoserine sulfhydrylase (oahs) is a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (plp) dependent sulfide-utilizing enzyme in the l-cysteine and l-methionine biosynthetic pathways of various enteric bacteria and fungi. oahs catalyzes the conversion of o-acetylhomoserine to homocysteine using sulfide in a process known as direct sulfhydrylation. however, the source of the sulfur has not been identified and no structures of oahs have been reported in the literature. here, the crystal structure of wolinella succ ...	2011	21931214
treating erythema chronicum migrans of lyme disease.	the efficacy of antibiotic treatment of 117 patients with erythema chronicum migrans of lyme disease was evaluated in terms of the necessity for retreatment and the prevention of the late manifestations of lyme disease. fifty-six patients with a minor form of the illness did not require retreatment and did not develop late manifestations following antibiotic treatment. three pregnant patients were included in this group. fourteen of sixty-one patients with a major form of the illness required re ...	2011	3093544
