bacterial chemistry. vi. biological activities and cytotoxicity of 1,3-dihydro-2h-indol-2-one derivatives.the biosynthetic pigment from chromobacterium violaceum bb-78, 1,3-dihydro-2h-indol-2-one and its derivatives exhibit biological activities such as antimicrobial action, low hemolytic effects on red blood cells and in vitro trypanocide activity. a relatively high cytotoxicity on v-79 hamster fibroblast cells of the biosynthetic pigment was found, although with the methylol derivative the toxicity was almost eliminated. the methylol derivative exhibited similar toxicity as nifurtimox, a known, co ...19921341576

modulation of endotoxin-induced monokine release in human monocytes by lipid a partial structures that inhibit binding of 125i-lipopolysaccharide.we have previously shown that the synthetic tetraacyl precursor ia (compound 406, la-14-pp, or lipid iva) was not able to induce the production of tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-1, and interleukin-6 in human monocytes but strongly antagonized lipopolysaccharide (lps)-induced formation of these monokines. this inhibition was detectable at the level of mrna production. to achieve a better understanding of molecular basis of this inhibition, we investigated whether lipid a precursor ia (la-14-p ...19921280625
comparative genetic organization of incompatibility group p degradative plasmids.plasmids that encode genes for the degradation of recalcitrant compounds are often examined only for characteristics of the degradative pathways and ignore regions that are necessary for plasmid replication, incompatibility, and conjugation. if these characteristics were known, then the mobility of the catabolic genes between species could be predicted and different catabolic pathways might be combined to alter substrate range. two catabolic plasmids, pss50 and pss60, isolated from chlorobipheny ...19902254257

pneumonia and meningitis caused by a new nonfermentative unknown gram-negative bacterium.seven isolates of an unclassified bacterium resembling flavobacterium spp. were characterized by growth requirements, microscopic examination, biochemical characteristics, antimicrobial susceptibility tests, protein profile analysis, and serologic data. the unclassified isolates were differentiated from flavobacterium meningosepticum, flavobacterium odoratum, flavobacterium balustinum, flavobacterium strain iib, chromobacterium violaceum, aquaspirillum serpens, and pseudomonas spp. the bacterium ...19892504766
mesosome structure in chromobacterium violaceum.exponentially growing cells of the gram-negative bacterium chromobacterium violaceum demonstrate invaginations of the cytoplasmic membrane with a high frequency. these invaginations conform to the ultrastructural appearance of mesosomes of gram-positive bacteria. as many as four mesosomes are observed per cell, each of which may increase the total membrane surface of the cell by 30%. washing of cells in dilute tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane buffer effects a distension of the mesosome "neck" and ...19744828310

properties of an r factor from pseudomonas aeruginosa.an r factor from pseudomonas aeruginosa, which confers resistance to penicillins, kanamycin, and tetracycline, was studied in escherichia coli k-12. the r factor could coexist with f-like or i-like plasmids and therefore constituted a novel compatibility group. the r factor was transferable from e. coli to bacterial genera outside the enterobacteriaceae (pseudomonas and members of the rhizobiaceae) to which transfer of f-like and i-like plasmids could not be demonstrated.19714945193
pathogenicity of nonpigmented cultures of chromobacterium violaceum.nonpigmented cultures of chromobacterium violaceum have been found to be similar to pigmented cultures in their virulence for mice and the pathology of their infections. clinicians and microbiologists should be prepared to consider nonpigmented c. violaceum in their differential diagnoses of infections caused by gram-negative bacteria. the laboratorian who is not aware of this possibility is likely to erroneously identify nonpigmented strains of c. violaceum as members of closely associated gene ...1977874071

cell-free biosynthesis of arphamenine a.arphamenine a was synthesized in a cell-free system obtained from the arphamenine-producing strain, chromobacterium violaceum bmg361-cf4. l-[14c]-phenylalanine was converted to beta-phenylpyruvic acid by phenylalanine amino-transferase obtained from the 10,000 x g supernatant (s10 fraction). [14c]-benzylmalic acid was synthesized from beta-phenylpyruvic acid with [14c]-acetyl-coa in the s10 fraction. [14c]-benzylsuccinic acid was formed from beta-phenylpyruvic acid with [14c]-acetyl-coa and atp ...19863707594
[fatal septicemia due to chromobacterium violaceum].a 2-year old boy was suffered from an infection caused by chromobacterium violaceum. this is the first case of c. violaceum infection reported in taiwan. the boy was treated with chloramphenicol and gentamicin but died after one month of illness due to the incooperation of patient's family. the causative agent was isolated from patient's blood and scar. complete bacteriologic characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of this isolate are reported.19863816371

beta-cyanoalanine formation by chromobacterium violaceum.nonproliferating cells of chromobacterium violaceum incubated with glycine, methionine, and succinate as substrates accumulated beta-cyanoalanine in the culture fluid. tracer experiments showed that carbons-2, -3, and -4 of beta-cyanoalanine are derived from the 2-carbon of glycine. when methionine-methyl-(14)c, succinate-1,4-(14)c, or succinate-2,3-(14)c was used as substrate, beta-cyanoalanine did not become labeled. if k(14)cn and serine were used as substrates, the cyano group of beta-cyanoa ...19695764335

effect of cold temperatures on the viability of chromobacterium violaceum.the effect of low, nonfreezing temperatures on the viability of five strains of chromobacterium violaceum was studied. the viability of cultures grown at 30 c was determined after exposure to various diluents held at 0 to 2 c. a culture diluted at its growth temperature served as the control. cells of strain n were most sensitive in the early part of the exponential phase of growth. cells of strains 252 and 341 were most sensitive in the late exponential, early stationary phase of growth. cells ...19695774755
effect of enzymes on the composition and structure of chromobacterium violaceum cell envelopes.cell envelopes of chromobacterium violaceum were isolated and treated under controlled conditions with trypsin, pronase, lipase, phospholipase c, lysozyme, and a mixture of enzymes produced by a bacteriolytic pseudomonas sp. after each enzyme treatment, losses in dry weight, protein, lipid, carbohydrate, 2,6-diaminopimelic acid, and total phosphorus were determined. electron-microscopic examination of the enzyme-treated envelopes indicated complete or partial loss of envelope rigidity or some en ...19695776532

novel potentiators of beta-lactam antibiotics. isolation of sq28,504 and sq28,546 from chromobacterium violaceum.two novel compounds, sq28,504 and sq28,546 are produced by chromobacterium violaceum. these compounds enhance the antibacterial activity of beta-lactam antibiotics against gram-negative organisms. both sq28,504 and sq28,546 induce morphological changes in the presence of beta-lactam antibiotics. only sq28,546 has weak antimicrobial activity against several gram-negative organisms.19853839229

dna:rrna hybridization studies of chromobacterium fluviatile.hybrids were prepared between 14c-labelled rrna from each of nine species of gram-negative bacteria and the dna of chromobacterium fluviatile. two parameters were determined for each hybrid - the t m(e), which is the temperature at which 50% of the hybrid was denatured, and the percentage of rrna bound under defined stringent conditions. the former gives a measure of the stability of the duplex once formed and the latter probability reflects the amount of the genome involved in the coding of rrn ...19826181184

nature and location of amide-bound (r)-3-acyloxyacyl groups in lipid a of lipopolysaccharides from various gram-negative bacteria.it has previously been demonstrated [eur. j. biochem. 124, 191-198 (1982) and 137, 15-22 (1983)] that the lipid a component of salmonella and proteus lipopolysaccharides contains amide-linked (r)-3-acyloxyacyl residues. in the present study lipid a of other gram-negative bacteria was analysed for the presence of amide-bound 3-acyloxyacyl residues. it was found that such residues are constituents of all lipid a tested (agrobacterium tumefaciens, chromobacterium violaceum, pseudomonas aeruginosa, ...19846437812
