induction of orientation of bacterial cellulose microfibrils by a novel terpenoid from acetobacter xylinum.	1. the bacterium acetobacter xylinum produces extracellular cellulose microfibrils that form a pellicle in the medium enmeshing the bacterial cells. these microfibrils may show some localized alignment, which can be seen as birefringence when the culture is viewed between crossed polaroid sheets. 2. an increase in birefringence can be induced by the addition of small amounts of certain classes of lipids, particularly sterols, to the cultures. 3. a crude lipid extract from acetobacter cells induc ...	1973	4776865

the nature and mode of action of the cellulolytic component c1 of trichoderma koningii on native cellulose.	1. a purified cellulolytic component c(1) was isolated free from associated activities of the cellulase complex and shown to act as a beta-1,4-glucan cellobiohydrolase on both simple and complex forms of native cellulose. 2. the enzyme releases terminal cellobiose units from cellulose, its extent of action being determined principally by the product and by the nature of the substrate. 3. component c(x) of the cellulase system is not required for the action of component c(1) (cellobiohydrolase). ...	1973	4798312

the structure of novel c35 pentacyclic terpenes from acetobacter xylinum.	a novel c(35) terpene and its monounsaturated analogue were isolated from cultures of acetobacter xylinum, together with traces of their c(36) homologues. these substances were found to be hopane derivatives substituted by a five-carbon chain bearing four vicinal hydroxyl groups. for the parent hydrocarbon the term bacteriohopane is proposed. the elucidation of the structures utilized high-resolution mass spectrometry of the terpenes, degradation to c(32) hydrocarbons and detailed mass-spectrome ...	1973	4359918

fine structural changes of acetobacter suboxydans during growth in a defined medium.	cytological differences were observed between stationary- and exponentialphase cells of acetobacter suboxydans grown in a defined medium. unstained cells observed with the light microscope just after entering the stationary phase differed from exponentially growing cells in that the former exhibited localized increases in density, particularly in the polar regions. electron microscopy of thin sections revealed that early stationary-phase cells possessed predominantly polar complexes of intracyto ...	1973	4120607

nonfunctional tricarboxylic acid cycle and the mechanism of glutamate biosynthesis in acetobacter suboxydans.	acetobacter suboxydans does not contain an active tricarboxylic acid cycle, yet two pathways have been suggested for glutamate synthesis from acetate catalyzed by cell extracts: a partial tricarboxylic acid cycle following an initial condensation of oxalacetate and acetyl coenzyme a. and the citramalate-mesaconate pathway following an initial condensation of pyruvate and acetyl coenzyme a. to determine which pathway functions in growing cells, acetate-1-(14)c was added to a culture growing in mi ...	1972	4640504

activity of fluoro and deoxy analogues of glycerol as substrates and inhibitors of glycerol kinase.	analogues of glycerol in which each of the three hydroxy groups is successively replaced by fluorine or hydrogen have been examined as substrates or inhibitors of glycerol kinase (candida mycoderma) to assess the ability of fluorine to mimic a substrate hydroxy group in enzyme-analogue interactions. the four diols resulting from replacement of the hydroxy groups at c-1 or c-2 of sn-glycerol by fluorine or hydrogen are weak substrates. similar substitution of the c-3 hydroxy group gives compounds ...	1972	4655423
semiautomated method for microbiological vitamin assays.	a semiautomated method for microbiological vitamin assays is described, which includes separate automated systems for the preparation of the cultures and for the measurement of turbidity. in the dilution and dosage unit based on the continuous-flow principle, vitamin samples were diluted to two different dose levels at a rate of 40 per hr, mixed with the inoculated test broth, and dispensed into culture tubes. after incubation, racks with culture tubes were placed on the sampler of an automatic ...	1972	4553802

factors affecting hexose phosphorylation in acetobacter xylinum.	fructose was oxidized and converted to cellulose by cells of acetobacter xylinum grown on fructose or succinate, but not by cells grown on glucose. in resting fructose-grown cells, glucose strongly suppressed fructose utilization. extracts obtained from fructose- or succinate-grown cells catalyzed the adenosine triphosphate (atp)-dependent formation of the 6-phosphate esters of glucose and fructose, whereas glucose-grown cell extracts phosphorylated glucose but not fructose. fructokinase and glu ...	1972	5053462

enzymatic removal of diacetyl from beer. ii. further studies on the use of diacetyl reductase.	diacetyl removal from beer was studied with whole cells and crude enzyme extracts of yeasts and bacteria. cells of streptococcus diacetilactis 18-16 destroyed diacetyl in solutions at a rate almost equal to that achieved by the addition of whole yeast cells. yeast cells impregnated in a diatomaceous earth filter bed removed all diacetyl from solutions percolated through the bed. undialyzed crude enzyme extracts from yeast cells removed diacetyl very slowly from beer at its normal ph (4.1); at a ...	1970	4315861
characterization and properties of the pyruvate phosphorylation system of acetobacter xylinum.	the enzyme responsible for the direct phosphorylation of pyruvate during gluconeogenesis in acetobacter xylinum has been purified 46-fold from ultrasonic extracts and freed from interfering enzyme activities. the enzyme was shown to catalyze the reversible mg(2+) ion-dependent conversion of equimolar amounts of pyruvate, adenosine triphosphate (atp), and orthophosphate (p(i)) into phosphoenolpyruvate (pep), adenosine monophosphate (amp), and pyrophosphate (pp). the optimal ph for pep synthesis w ...	1970	4319721

isocitrate dehydrogenase and glutamate synthesis in acetobacter suboxydans.	acetobacter suboxydans is an obligate aerobe for which an operative tricarboxylic acid cycle has not been demonstrated. glutamate synthesis has been reported to occur by mechanisms other than those utilizing isocitrate dehydrogenase, a tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme not previously detected in this organism. we have recovered alpha-ketoglutarate and glutamate from a system containing citrate, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (nad), a divalent cation, pyridoxal phosphate, an amino donor, and dia ...	1969	5361215

phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylation and aspartate synthesis in acetobacter suboxydans.	dialyzed extracts of acetobacter suboxydans atcc 621 catalyze (14)co(2) assimilation in the presence of phosphoenolpyruvate and a divalent cation. the formation of (14)c-oxalacetate was demonstrated and found not to be dependent upon the presence of orthophosphate or diphosphonucleotides. oxalacetate synthesis was stimulated by orthophosphate and inhibited by aspartate. all attempts to demonstrate a reversible carboxylation mechanism have failed. (14)c-aspartate was synthesized when phosphoenolp ...	1969	5773023
role of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylation in acetobacter xylinum.	glucose-grown cells of acetobacter xylinum oxidized acetate only when the reaction mixture was supplemented with catalytic quantities of glucose or intermediates of the citrate cycle. extracts, prepared by sonic treatment, catalyzed the formation of oxalacetate when incubated with phosphoenolpyruvate (pep) and bicarbonate. oxalacetate was not formed in the presence of pyruvate plus adenosine triphosphate. the ability to promote carboxylation of pep was lower in succinate-grown cells than in gluc ...	1969	5788692

the oxidation of d-quinate and related acids by acetomonas oxydans.	1. growing cells of a small number of strains of acetomonas oxydans oxidized d-quinate to 5-dehydroquinate. 2. d-shikimate was oxidized to 4,5-dihydroxy-3-oxocyclohex-1-ene-1-carboxylate (3-dehydroshikimate, formerly 5-dehydroshikimate). 3. d-dihydroshikimate was oxidized to the corresponding 5-dehydro compound, but epidihydroshikimate oxidation by growing cells was not observed. 4. cell-free extracts oxidized d-quinate to 5-dehydroquinate with the consumption of the stoicheiometric amount of ox ...	1967	6030289
