phosphoribulokinase from nitrobacter winogradskyi: activation by reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and inhibition by pyridoxal phosphate. | co2 fixation by particle-free extracts from nitrobacter winogradskyi increased by addition of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (nadh). ribulose-1,5-diphosphate, however, increased co2 fixation, even in the absence of nadh. phosphoribulokinase (ec 2.7.1.19) was the enzyme of nitrobacter extracts that was activated specifically by nadh. pyridoxal-5-phosphate inhibited both co2 fixation and nadh-activated phosphoribulokinase from nitrobacter. however, it did not affect phosphoribulokinase ... | 1977 | 15976 |
the influence of some herbicides on selected groups of microorganisms in loess and sandy soils. ii. the effect of nitrification. | studies on the effect of herbicides on nitrification in field and laboratory conditions have shown that steady use of these substances in the same field does not exert a significant effect on this process in the soil. the herbicides caused only shortlasting disturbances. nitrification usually returned to a relative equilibrium in several days after the herbicide application. | 1977 | 67749 |

effects of a nitrate reductase inactivating enzyme and nad(p)h on the nitrate reductase from higher plants and neurospora. | evidence is presented which suggests that the nad(p)h-cytochrome c reductase component of nitrate reductase is the main site of action of the inactivating enzyme. when tested on the nitrate reductase (nadh) from the maize root and scutella, the nadh-cytochrome c reductase was inactivated at a greater rate than was the fadh2-nitrate reductase component. with the neurospora nitrate reductase (nadph) only the nadph-cytochrome c reductase was inactivated. p-chloromercuribenzoate at 50 mum, which gav ... | 1975 | 235300 |
[ability of obligate methylotrophs to perform nitrogen fixation]. | the ability for nitrification was studied among mesophilic and thermophilic cultures of obligate methylotrophs methylobacter ucrainicus, methylomonas methanica, and methylococcus thermophilus. the strains were almost incapable of nitrification under autotrophic conditions. in the presence of methane, however, they oxidized nh+4 to no-2: over 150 mg/litre no-2 nitrogen was found in the cultural broth. therefore, obligate methylotrophs are capable of heterotrophic nitrification. the level of nitri ... | 1977 | 404513 |
adenine nucleotide pool variations in intact nitrobacter winogradskyi cells. | 1. the atp pool in nitrobacter winogradskyi cells was determined by means of the luciferin-luciferase enzyme system and the adp and amp pools were measured after enzymatic conversion into atp. 2. in the first 10 min after addition of nitrite to endogenously respiring cells, which had stood for 5--16 days after completion of the nitrite oxidation, the atp pool dropped about 60%. 3. during the log phase the atp pool was approx. 20--40 pmoles/5 mug cell-n. during growth it increased exponentially b ... | 1975 | 808183 |

nitrification in histosols: a potential role for the heterotrophic nitrifier. | insufficient populations of nitrosomonas and nitrobacter were found in a pahokee muck soil (lithic medidaprit) to account for the nitrate concentration observed. to determine if heterotrophic nitrifiers could account for some of this discrepancy, a method was developed to measure the levels of heterotrophic nitrifiers in soil. a population of 4.1 x 10(5) arthrobacter per g of dry fallow soil, capable of producing nitrite and/or nitrate from reduced nitrogenous compounds, was observed. amendment ... | 1977 | 869537 |
