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 ...19724640504
prokaryotic triterpenoids. 3. the biosynthesis of 2 beta-methylhopanoids and 3 beta-methylhopanoids of methylobacterium organophilum and acetobacter pasteurianus ssp. pasteurianus.the incorporation of l-[methyl-3h,14c]methionine or l-(methyl-2h3)methionine into 2 beta-methyldiplopterol of methylobacterium organophilum and various 3 beta-methylhopanoids of acetobacter pasteurianus ssp. pasteurianus showed that all three hydrogen atoms of the transferred methyl group are retained in the triterpenoids. these methylations are compatible with a methylation substrate such as a delta 2-hopanoid in the case of the 2 beta-methylhopanoid biosynthesis and of a delta 2-hopanoid or sq ...19853926496
nucleotide sequence of the membrane-bound aldehyde dehydrogenase gene from acetobacter polyoxogenes.the nucleotide sequence of the membrane-bound aldehyde dehydrogenase (aldh) gene from an industrial vinegar producer, acetobacter polyoxogenes, was determined. comparison of the sequence with the nh2-terminal amino acid sequence of the mature aldh and determination of the actual translational initiation codon by means of in vitro manipulation of the upstream and proximal regions of the cloned gene showed that aldh was primarily translated as a 773-amino-acid protein and that the 44-amino-acid se ...19892606906

effects of detergents and phospholipids on the pyridine nucleotide-independent aldehyde dehydrogenase from membranes of acetobacter rancens.the pyridine nucleotide-independent aldehyde dehydrogenase solubilized and purified from membranes of acetobacter rancens ccm 1774 requires the presence of detergents for activity. while several detergents could stimulate the enzyme activity the stability of the enzyme-detergent complexes was rather low. phospholipid substitution experiments revealed the reversibility of the loss of activity caused by phospholipid removal. enzyme-phospholipid complexes generated from a complex phospholipid fract ...19854084277

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 ...19734120607
myo-inositol dehydrogenase(s) from acetomonas oxydans. optimization of conditions for solubilization of membrane-bound enzyme.methods are described for the first reported successful isolation of the soluble form of the membrane-bound myo-inositol dehydrogenase(s) from acetomonas oxydans. conditions for optimum yields of active enzyme in a crude membrane-free protein extract were established. the relevant conditions are (a) cell rupture by solid-shearing, (b) solubilization of the complete 60000g pellet with sodium deoxycholate at ph7.2, (c) rapid separation of the released protein from sodium deoxycholate by gel chroma ...19744214535
factors afecting the activity of pyruvate kinase of acetobacter xylinum.1. extracts of acetobacter xylinum were found to contain the glycolytic enzymes involved in the conversion of triose phosphate into pyruvate. pyruvate kinase had the lowest relative activity. phosphofructokinase activity was not detected in the extracts. 2. only slight differences in the activity of pyruvate kinase were observed between cells grown on glucose and those grown on intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. 3. pyruvate kinase, partially purified from ultrasonic extracts by ammon ...19694241738
