flocculation and adsorption of enzymes during growth of a moderate halophile, micrococcus varians var. halophilus.	flocculation of a moderate halophile, micrococcus varians atcc 2197, occurred during growth in complex medium containing 3 m nacl and a concentration of mgso4 and kh2po4 greater than 40 and 14 mm, respectively. extracellular nuclease activity was absent in the flocculated cultures. repeated washing of flocs by mg2+-free tris buffer containing 3 m nacl, lowering of ph value of floc suspension below 6.3, or addition of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid resulted in complete dissociation of the flocs ...	1978	307427
properties of the halophilic nuclease of a moderate halophile, micrococcus varians subsp. halophilus.	the halophilic nuclease of micrococcus varians atcc 21971 hydrolyzed thymidine 5'-monophospho-p-nitrophenyl ester at a rate that increased with the nacl concentration up to saturation. the nuclease attacked rna and dna exonucleolytically and processively, producing 5'-mononucleotides. the molecular weight of the enzyme as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was 99,000, approximately the same as that previously determined for the native enzyme. examination of a ...	1978	618848

the development of mesosomes of staphylococcus aureus during autolysis.	mesosomes of staphylococcus aureus were examined morphologically under the electron microscope. three different methods of specimen preparation (thin section, freeze-fracture, and negative staining) were used to eliminate artifacts due to sample processing. mesosomes were rarely seen in intact cells but were quite distinct in autolysed cells incubated in 1.2m sucrose -0.33m acetate buffer (ph 5.8) at 25 degrees c. the phospholipid content increased by 20% of the control as autolysis proceeded. s ...	1979	91308
a medium for commercial production of the halophilic micrococcus nuclease.	a simple synthetic medium (glutamate-sucrose medium) was devised for production, during growth in shaken flasks, of extracellular halophilic nuclease (nuclease h) by a moderate halophile, micrococcus varians subsp. halophilus. a simple medium consisting of 0.7% ammonium sulfate, 1.0% glucose, minerals, three vitamins, and 2 m nacl gave good growth and excellent production of nuclease h in a jar fermentor when the ph was adjusted to 7.5 to 8.0 during cultivation.	1979	44225

mutation modifying the serine pathway in methylotrophic bacteria.	methylotrophic bacteria, gram-positive, with the serine pathway, were shown to have their growth inhibited by 0.5% glycine. the effects of this amino acid on individual enzyme activities were studied in wild and mutant strains of micrococcus varians and bacillus licheniformis. the enzymes studied were glycerate dehydrogenase (ec 1.1.1.29), isocitrate lyase (ec 4.1.3.1), serine hydroxymethyltransferase (ec 2.1.2.1) and glycine--oxaloacetate aminotransferase (ec 2.6.1.35). the last-named enzyme wa ...	1981	6792008
application of halophilic nuclease h of micrococcus varians subsp. halophilus to commercial production of flavoring agent 5'-gmp.	rna was degraded at 60 degrees c for 24 h by halophilic nuclease h in supernatants from broth cultures of micrococcus varians subsp. halophilus containing 12% nacl. since contaminating 5'-nucleotidase exhibited almost no activity under these conditions, the 5'-gmp formed could be recovered from the reaction mixture, and the yield was 805 mg from 5 g of rna.	1982	6184020
valine production from hydrocarbon by micrococcus varians.	a bacterium isolated from assam (india) soil was found to accumulate l-valine in the growth medium and was identified as micrococcus varians. the strain grew and accumulated valine in a purely synthetic medium, but supplementation with either casamino acids or yeast extract or with both, improved the yield. the entire fermentation period could be divided into a growth phase and a production (phase which could be prolonged by adjustment of ph to neutral range. among the different hydrocarbon and ...	1982	7141324
lysine production from hydrocarbon by micrococcus varians 2fa.	a bacterium isolated from assam (india) soil was found to accumulale l-lysine from hydrocarbon and was identified as a strain of micrococcus varians. the strain is able to grow and accumulate lysine in a purely synthetic medium though supplementation of the synthetic medium with casamino acids significantly improves the yield. the yield of l-lysine under optimal conditions was found to be 2.6 g x 1(-1) of the compound isolated in crystalline form.	1983	6196944

regulation of the (ca(2+)+mg2+)-atpase of basolateral membranes from kidney proximal tubules by kinase-mediated phosphorylation and by insulin.	membrane vesicles derived from the basolateral aspect of kidney proximal tubule cells are phosphorylated by atp in the absence of ca2+. this mg(2+)-dependent, hydroxylamine-resistant phosphorylation was associated with a 50% inhibition of the (ca(2+)+mg2+)-atpase activity measured upon addition of micromolar ca2+ concentrations, enough to saturate the high-affinity sites of the ca2+ pump. the presence of either the protein kinase inhibitor h7 or insulin during phosphorylation virtually eliminate ...	1992	1449066
micrococci demonstrate a phosphatase activity which is repressed by phosphates and which can be differentiated from that of staphylococci.	the phosphatase activities of 114 micrococcal strains belonging to seven different species and of an additional 150 unspeciated micrococcal strains were evaluated on solid media at various phs containing or not containing phosphates. in the presence of phosphates, only nine strains (five unspeciated strains, one micrococcus luteus strain, and three micrococcus varians strains) yielded a positive reaction on plates at ph 8. in media (at ph 8) deprived of phosphates, in contrast, all but 15 strain ...	1993	8240961
