| [h2-receptor antagonist-refractory ulcer--its pathophysiology and role of proton-pump inhibitors]. | among h2-receptor antagonist (h2ra)-refractory ulcers, non-responders that did not heal after 5 months therapy had high intraluminal ph in the basal condition and high sensitivity to inhibition of acid secretion by h2ra but possessed gastric mucosa to generate less prostaglandins. combination therapy of pge1-analogue with h2ra healed these ulcers by 60%. proton-pump inhibitor (ppi) exerted a complete inhibition of acid secretion in these patients and the rate of healing was 88%. helicobacter pyl ... | 1992 | 1347325 |
| towards a phylogeny of the genus vibrio based on 16s rrna sequences. | the inter- and intrageneric relationships of the genus vibrio were investigated by performing a comparative analysis of the 16s rrnas of 10 species, including four pathogenic representatives. the results of immunological and 5s rrna studies were confirmed in that the genus is a neighboring taxon of the family enterobacteriaceae. with regard to the intrageneric structure, vibrio alginolyticus, vibrio campbellii, vibrio natriegens, vibrio harveyi, vibrio proteolyticus, vibrio parahaemolyticus, and ... | 1992 | 1371064 |
| [isolation of halophilic vibrios as possible agents of food poisoning (author's transl)]. | seventy-six halophilic vibrio strains were isolated from different marine sources such as coastal waters, fishes and mussels. twenty strains were identified as vibrio parahaemolyticus, 44 as vibrio alginolyticus and 12 other strains could not be classified because of their atypical biochemical activities. further investigations are necessary in order to assess if the present strains of v. parahaemolyticus can have a role in food poisoning outbreaks or human sporadic enteritis in our geographic a ... | 1977 | 607885 |
| expression of bacillus amyloliquefaciens amylase and vibrio alginolyticus protease a fusion genes. | previously we reported [deane, s. m., maharaj, r., robb, f. t. & woods, d. r. (1987) journal of general microbiology 133, 2295-2302] that the production of a vibrio alginolyticus sds-resistant alkaline serine protease (pro a) cloned in escherichia coli was characterized by a 12 h delay between the synthesis of an inactive precursor and secretion of active pro a. replacement of the v. alginolyticus promoter region by the alpha-amylase promoter region from bacillus amyloliquefaciens resulted in th ... | 1992 | 1373436 |
| mapping of antigenic sites to monoclonal antibodies on the primary structure of the f1-atpase beta subunit from escherichia coli: concealed amino-terminal region of the subunit in the f1. | to analyze relationships between the ternary and primary structures of the beta subunit of escherichia coli f1 atpase, we prepared two monoclonal antibodies beta 12 and beta 31 against the beta peptide. these antibodies bind to the beta subunit but do not bind to the f1 atpase, resulting in no inhibition of the atpase activities. several different portions of the beta subunit peptide were prepared by constructing expression plasmids carrying the corresponding dna segment of the beta subunit gene ... | 1992 | 1373594 |
| middle ear infection due to vibrio alginolyticus. bacteriological characterization. | a 47-year-old male suffering from chronic purulent ear discharge was investigated bacteriologically in autumn 1977. the isolated strain was identified as vibrio alginolyticus. the fact that the patient spent his vacation at a black-sea resort every year strongly pleads for a direct inoculation of the halophilic vibrio. | 1979 | 484269 |
| characterization of a vibrio cholerae virulence factor homologous to the family of tonb-dependent proteins. | irga is an iron-regulated virulence factor for infection in an animal model with classical vibrio cholerae strain 0395. we detected gene sequences hybridizing to irga at high stringency in clinical isolates in addition to 0395, including another classical strain of v. cholerae, three v. cholerae strains of the el tor biotype, three non-o1 isolates of v. cholerae, and individual isolates of vibrio parahaemolyticus, vibrio fluvialis, and vibrio alginolyticus. no hybridization to irga was seen with ... | 1992 | 1406279 |
| prediction of transmembrane topology of f0 proteins from escherichia coli f1f0 atp synthase using variational and hydrophobic moment analyses. | the a subunit, a membrane protein from the e. coli f1f0 atp synthase has been examined by fourier analysis of hydrophobicity and of amino-acid residue variation. the amino-acid sequences of homologous subunits from vibrio alginolyticus, saccharomyces cerevisiae, neurospora crassa, aspergillus nidulans, schizosaccharomyces pombe and candida parapsilosis were used in the variability analysis. by fourier analysis of sequence variation, two transmembrane helices are predicted to have one face in con ... | 1992 | 1445940 |

| vibrio alginolyticus ("achromobacter") collagenase: biosynthesis, function and application. | bacterial collagenase from aerobic non-pathogenic vibrio alginolyticus chemovar iophagus ("achromobacter" collagenase, ec 3.4.24.08) is an inducible extracellular metallo-proteinase. production of vibrio collagenase is induced specifically by collagen or by its macromolecular fragments. on the cell surface is expressed a specific receptor recognizing collagen structure. the study of natural inducers led to synthetic peptides with inducing properties. vibrio collagenase cleaves collagen helical c ... | 1992 | 1480012 |
| gel filtration of sialoglycoproteins. | the role of sialic acid in the gel-filtration behaviour of sialoglycoproteins was investigated by using the separated isoenzymes of purified human liver alpha-l-fucosidase and several other well-known sialic acid-containing glycoproteins (fetuin, alpha1-acid glycoprotein, thyroglobulin and bovine submaxillary mucin). for each glycoprotein studied, gel filtration of its desialylated derivative gave an apparent molecular weights much less than that expected just from removal of sialic acid. for th ... | 1978 | 356853 |
| purification and characterization of l-2,4-diaminobutyrate decarboxylase from acinetobacter calcoaceticus. | acinetobacter calcoaceticus atcc 23055 produces a large amount of 1,3-diaminopropane under normal growth conditions. the enzyme responsible, l-2,4-diaminobutyrate (daba) decarboxylase (ec 4.1.1.-), was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from this bacterium. the native enzyme had an m(r) of approximately 108,000, with a pi of 5.0, and was a dimer composed of identical or nearly identical subunits with apparent m(r) 53,000. the enzyme showed hyperbolic kinetics with a km of 1.59 mm for daba a ... | 1992 | 1512577 |
| isolation of vibrio alginolyticus from wounds and blood of a burn patient. | isolation of vibrio alginolyticus from the wounds and blood of a burn patient is reported. numerous tissue biopsy sites as well as one blood culture yielded the organism. the case history and a review of the hospital course of the patient is provided where relevant to the presence and identification of the organism. the bacteriologic, biochemical, and anti-microbial identification of the organism is described. taxonomy, habitat, and pathogenicity of v. alginolyticus are discussed. | 1977 | 335885 |
| properties of respiratory chain-linked na(+)-independent nadh-quinone reductase in a marine vibrio alginolyticus. | the respiratory chain of a marine vibrio alginolyticus contains two types of nadh-quinone reductase (nqr): one is an na(+)-dependent nqr functioning as an na+ pump (nqr-1) and the other is an na(+)-independent nqr (nqr-2). nqr-2 was purified about 55-fold from the membrane of mutant nap-1 which is devoid of nqr-1, and its properties were compared with those of nqr-1. in contrast to nqr-1, the purified nqr-2 does not require any salts for activity and is not inhibited by up to 0.4 m salts. the op ... | 1992 | 1543699 |

| the highest gene concentrations in the human genome are in telomeric bands of metaphase chromosomes. | chromosome in situ suppression hybridization has been carried out on human metaphase chromosomes to localize the g+c-richest human dna fraction (which only represents 3.5% of the genome), as isolated by preparative equilibrium centrifugation in cs2so4/3,6-bis(acetatomercurimethyl)-1,4-dioxane density gradient. this fraction essentially corresponds to isochore family h3. the rationale for carrying out this experiment is that this isochore family has, by far, the highest gene concentration, the hi ... | 1992 | 1594593 |
| characteristic differences in the mode of quinone reduction and stability between energy-coupled and -uncoupled nadh-quinone reductases from bacterial respiratory chain. | bacterial respiratory chain has two types of nadh-quinone reductase (nqr): one is energy-coupled (type-1) and the other had no energy-transducing capacity, that is, energy-uncoupled (type-2). each of the nadh-reacting flavoprotein subunits of nqr-1 from escherichia coli and the marine vibrio alginolyticus reduced quinone to semiquinone radicals by the one-electron transfer pathway and was very sensitive to preincubation with nadh. on the other hand, the nqr-2 from these bacteria reduced quinone ... | 1992 | 1628743 |
