quantitative studies of heat-stable proteinase from pseudomonas fluorescens p1 by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.pseudomonas fluorescens p1 is a psychrotrophic bacterium isolated from milk. proteinase p1, the main extracellular heat-stable proteinase fraction of p. fluorescens p1, has been purified to homogeneity. a procedure with a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, using microplates and alkaline phosphatase conjugate was shown to detect 0.25 ng of proteinase p1 in 1 ml of reconstituted skim milk or defatted cream. the method offers the combination of sensitivity and specificity for the detection ...19853920965

phenylalanine 4-monooxygenase from chromobacterium violaceum. 19872885717
phenylalanine hydroxylase from chromobacterium violaceum is a copper-containing monooxygenase. kinetics of the reductive activation of the enzyme.pterin-dependent phenylalanine hydroxylase from chromobacterium violaceum contains a stoichiometric amount of copper (cu2+, 1 mol/mol of enzyme). electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy of the enzyme indicates that it is a type ii copper-containing protein. the oxidized enzyme must be reduced by a single electron to be catalytically active. dithiothreitol was found to be an effective reducing agent for the enzyme. electron paramagnetic resonance data and kinetic results indicate the formati ...19863024714
carbon source utilization tests as an aid to the classification of non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria. 19734571899
morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of some violet-pigmented bacteria isolated from seawater.sixteen violet-pigmented heterotrophic bacilli were isolated from mediterranean coastal waters. morphological and physiological studies showed that they have a number of characteristics specific to the genus chromobacterium. however, the absence of catalase, the presence of oxidase, and, more especially, the low percentage of bases guanine and cytosine in their dna exclude them from the genus. the specificity of some characters assigned to chromobacterium can thus be discussed. several features ...19761260521

near-fatal septicaemia with chromobacterium violaceum.chromobacterium violaceum is a gram-negative organism which normally inhabits water and soil. human infection is unusual and is associated with a high mortality rate. we describe a typical case of disseminated infection with chr. violaceum in a male carpet cleaner. the possible origin and treatment of the infection is discussed.19892733620
microbial cyanide metabolism. 19863532718
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

bacterial colonization of domestic reverse-osmosis water filtration units.we have analyzed the bacterial content of water from the reservoirs of 300 reverse-osmosis units installed in households. the heterotrophic plate counts on r2a medium (20 and 35 degrees c) ranged from 0 to 10(7) colony forming units per millilitre (cfu/ml). most reservoirs contained water with bacterial counts between 10(4) and 10(5) cfu/ml. the bacteria identified were pseudomonas (not aeruginosa), alcaligenes or moraxella, acinetobacter, flavobacterium, and chromobacterium. this report emphasi ...19892611732

isolation and characterization of aerobic heterotrophic bacteria from natural spring waters in the lanjaron area (spain).aerobic, heterotrophic bacteria were isolated from nine natural mineral water springs in the lanjaron area of spain over the period july 1980 to may 1981. the mineral waters contained few bacteria (mean counts 26-5275 cfu per 100 ml) and the bacterial flora of all nine springs was very similar. most of the isolates were gram-negative rods (90%), and among these pseudomonas spp. and members of the flavobacterium-cytophaga-flexibacter group were numerically dominant. aeromonas-vibrio and enterobac ...19863781942
[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
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

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
first case report from argentina of fatal septicemia caused by chromobacterium violaceum.a case of chromobacterium violaceum fatal septicemia is reported. the microorganism was isolated from six blood cultures and two suppurated skin lesions. it is the first such case described in argentina, and it reinforces the need for prolonged treatment and careful clinical evaluation to ensure complete remission of human infections caused by this bacterium.19863711283

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

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

tryptophan synthetic pathway and its regulation in chromobacterium violaceum.extracts of chromobacterium violaceum catalyzed all of the reactions involved in synthesizing tryptophan from chorismic acid. tryptophan auxotrophs which had lost any of these activities did not produce the characteristic purple pigment, violacein, when grown on a medium in which tryptophan was limiting. gel filtration of extracts allowed us to estimate molecular weights for the tryptophan enzymes. all of the enzymes appeared to have molecular weights below 100,000. no enzymes were observed to o ...19685669904
