biological nitrogen fixation in the terrestrial environment of a high arctic ecosystem (truelove lowland, devon island, n.w.t.).arranged in descending order of nitrogen-fixing (acetylene-reducing) potential the sites examined were mesic meadow and peat polygon troughs (equal rank), transition zone between mesic meadow and gravel ridge, gravel ridge, polar dessert, and peat polygon tops. the dominant nitrogen-fixing microorganisms, as in other arctic areas, were blue-green bacteria, especially those epiphytic on arctic mosses. the epiphytic association exhibited an optimum temperature for fixation of 20 degrees c. other b ...197896927
isoprenoid quinones in the classification of coryneform and related bacteria.menaquinones were the only isoprenoid quinones found in 85 of the 95 coryneform bacteria examined. dihydromenaquinones having nine isoprene units were the main components isolated from corynebacterium bovis, from other glutamic acid-producing strains, and from arthrobacter globiformis and related species. dihydromenaquinones with eight isoprene units were found in brevibacterium linens, the remaining corynebacterium species and strains probably belonging to the genus rhodococcus. tetrahydromenaq ...1979107269
the association of mycobacterium flavum 301 with gram-negative bacteria: ultrastructural and biochemical evidence.morphological characteristics, respiratory quinones, biochemical activities, cell wall ultrastructure and dna base composition of mycobacterium flavum 301 were studied. on the basis of the composition of its cell wall, its respiratory quinone and ubiquinone, the organism was associated with gram-negative bacteria. the strain appears to represent a group of bacteria hitherto not described.1979552817
the electron transport to nitrogenase in mycobacterium flavum.1. two ferredoxin-type iron-sulfur proteins have been isolated from mycobacterium flavum 301 grown under nitrogen-fixing, iron-sufficient conditions. no flavodoxin was observed. 2. these ferredoxins are apparently soluble: they were present in the supernatant fraction after disrupting by decompression. only small amounts were present in particulate fractions. 3. the two ferredoxins were separated by chromatography on deae-cellulose, sephadex or electrophoresis. 4. both ferredoxins mediated the t ...19761252086

[molecular nitrogen fixation in the waters of eutrophic and polyhuic lakes of the estonian ssr].a modified acetylene technique was used to assay the rate of molecular nitrogen fixation in estonian lakes containing methane in the hypolimnion. methods were elaborated to eliminate ethylene cooxidation by methane oxidizing bacteria. methane oxidation and nitrogen fixation were found in a narrow microaerobic zone in lakes with the stratification of temperature in the water mass; these biochemical processes occurred when the content of dissolved oxygen varied within the range of 0.1 to 0.8 mg o2 ...19807412622
gene structure and expression of the corynebacterium flavum n13 ask-asd operon.two promoters required for expression of the ask-asd genes, encoding aspartokinase (ak) and aspartate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (asd), in corynebacterium flavum n13, askp1 and askp2, have been identified by deletion analysis and s1 nuclease mapping. transcription from askp1 initiates 35 and 38 bp upstream of the ask structural gene. a second promoter, askp2, lies within the ask coding region, upstream of the translation start site of the ak beta subunit and can direct the expression of ak beta ...19938100567
rescuing activity of galactoglycerolipids from cellular lesions induced by 5-aminolevulinic acid.an anti-oxygen radical reagent of a bacterial metabolite, m874 monogalactoglycerolipid (di-o-12-methyl-tetradecanoyl-3-o-beta-d-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol ), was tested for its ability to protect two organisms against cellular lesions induced by 5-aminolevulinic acid (ala) and light. in corynebacterium flavescens atcc 10340, extracellular uroporphyrin and coproporphyrin were the main porphyrin products. although less than 2 mm ala increased porphyrin synthesis, ala levels above 3 mm inhibited ...200010788790
the chemical composition of essential oil and in vitro antibacterial activities of essential oil and methanol extract of ziziphora persica bunge.this study was designed to examine the chemical composition of essential oil and the in vitro antibacterial activities of essential oil and methanol extracts of ziziphora persica. the inhibitory effects of essential oil and methanol extracts of ziziphora persica were tested against 98 laboratory strains belonging to 51 bacteria species by using disc-diffusion assay and micro-broth dilution methods, respectively. gc and gc/ms analyses revealed that the essential oil predominantly contains (+)-pul ...200616529887
[trichomycosis (trichobacteriosis) capitis in an infant: microbiological, dermoscopic and ultrastructural features].trichomycosis is a superficial infection caused by corynebacterium flavescens, which regularly affects axillary, and to a a lesser extent, pubic, scrotal and intergluteal, and exceptionally, head hairs or trichomycosis capitis (tc). this condition is characterised by the formation of bacterial nodules. clinically, it can be confused with white piedra or pediculosis. the diagnosis is made by microscopic and dermoscopic observation and confirmed by culture.201728542660

biodiversity of the bacterial flora on the surface of a smear cheese.the bacteria on the surface of a farmhouse smear-ripened cheese at four stages of ripening (4, 16, 23, and 37 days) from inoculated (i.e., deliberately inoculated with brevibacterium linens bl2) and noninoculated (not deliberately inoculated with b. linens bl2) cheese were investigated. the results show that, contrary to accepted belief, b. linens is not a significant member of the surface flora of smear cheese and no microbial succession of species occurred during the ripening of the cheeses. o ...200211823224
[fixation of molecular nitrogen and activity of the microflora in the bottoms of certain lakes in the estonian ssr and the rybinsk reservoir].the rate of molecular nitrogen fixation was determined in bottom grounds of three estonian lakes and the rybinsk water reservoir in the summer of 1977--1978. certain species of nitrogen fixing bacteria were found to be confined to lakes of certain trophic type. ecological niches with the mass growth of clostridium pasteurianum, azomonas agilis and clostridium butyricum were detected in the sediments of eutrophic lakes. ecological niches of az. insignis and cl. acetobutylicum occur in polyhumic l ...19807442573
[exopolysaccharide of mycobacterium flavum].mycobacterium flavum 158a can produce exopolysaccharides whose quantity varies, depending on the culture age, from 88.2 to 186.8% of the cell biomass weight in a medium with sucrose and from 1.3 to 25.0% in a medium with a polysaccharide synthesized by the oligonitrophilic bacterium pseudomonas sp. 158a. the absolute and relative content of exopolysaccharides in the cultural broth decreases during the intensive growth of m. flavum 158a. this appears to be caused by their assimilation as a carbon ...19846482748
isolation and characterization of the facultative methylotroph mycobacterium id-y.a facultatively methylotrophic mycobacterium was isolated from cleveland harbor, ohio, usa. the isolate, designated id-y, used a wide range of carbon and energy sources including methane and several other hydrocarbons. it displayed a growth cycle from rod-shaped exponential-phase cells, with many cell pairs exhibiting v-formation, to cocco-bacillary stationary-phase cells. a fixation technique involving glutaraldehyde/alcian blue resulted in the observation of a three-layered cell wall. isolate ...19873655742
