bacteriology of spoilage of fish muscle. i. sterile press juice as a suitable experimental medium.a sterile raw fish muscle press juice, diluted 1:4 with saline, has been prepared. this dilution greatly facilitated seitz filtration and affected the spoilage properties of the medium only negligibly. at 5.5 c, the spoilage pattern of naturally contaminated diluted juice was almost identical to that of naturally contaminated fillets. this was shown by comparing the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the bacterial flora on the two substrates and by measuring the production of volatile reduc ...196314063792

characterization and pathogenic significance of vibrio vulnificus antigens preferentially expressed in septicemic patients.many important virulence genes of pathogenic bacteria are preferentially expressed in vivo. we used the recently developed in vivo-induced antigen technology (iviat) to identify vibrio vulnificus genes induced in vivo. an expression library of v. vulnificus was screened by colony blot analysis by using pooled convalescent-phase serum that had been thoroughly adsorbed with in vitro-expressed v. vulnificus whole cells and lysates. twelve clones were selected, and the sequences of the insert dnas w ...200314500463
isolation and molecular characterization of thiosulfate-oxidizing bacteria from an italian rice field soil.in rice paddy soils an active cycling of sulfur compounds takes place. to elucidate the diversity of thiosulfate-oxidizing bacteria these organisms were enriched from bulk soil and rice roots by the most probable number method in liquid medium. from the mpn enrichment cultures 21 bacterial strains were isolated on solid mineral medium, and could be further shown to produce sulfate from thiosulfate. these strains were characterized by 16s rdna analyses. the isolates were affiliated to seven diffe ...200314529188

cytoplasmic expression of the achromobacter xylosoxidans blue copper nitrite reductase in escherichia coli and characterisation of the recombinant protein.the gene of the achromobacter xylosoxidans (dsm 2402) blue copper-containing nitrite reductase was amplified using the polymerase chain reaction. dna sequence analysis reveals that the amino acid sequence is identical to those of the gifu1051 and the ncimb11015 a. xylosoxidans nitrite reductases. the gene encoding the mature coding region for dsm 2402 nitrite reductase was cloned into a pet-vector, overexpressed in the cytoplasm of escherichia coli bl21(de3), and the expressed holoprotein was pu ...200314965775
ph-profile crystal structure studies of c-terminal despentapeptide nitrite reductase from achromobacter cycloclastes.crystal structures of c-terminal despentapeptide nitrite reductase (nirc-5) from achromobacter cycloclastes were determined from 1.9 to 2.3a at ph 5.0, 5.4, and 6.2. nirc-5, that has lost about 30% activity, is found to possess quite similar trimeric structures as the native enzyme. electron density and copper content measurements indicate that the activity loss is not caused by the release of type 2 copper (t2cu). ph-profile structural comparisons with native enzyme reveal that the t2cu active ...200415003518
reductively activated nitrous oxide reductase reacts directly with substrate.in the terminal step of bacterial denitrification, n2o is converted to n2 at the mu4-sulfide bridged tetranuclear cuz center of nitrous oxide reductase. the enzyme can be activated by reduced methyl viologen, with up to a 15-fold increase in specific activity. the reductively activated nitrous oxide reductase from achromobacter cycloclastes was isolated and characterized by visible absorption and epr spectroscopy, and both methods showed that the cuz center can attain a [4cu(i)] oxidation state. ...200415012115
