Acetaldehyde Acetaldehyde Acetaldehyde
Acetaldehyde may be the injurious agent in acute alcoholic liver disease. It has been suggested that the mechanism of liver injury in this situation may be immunologically mediated. In the present study acetaldehyde has been bound to human liver plasma membranes. The activation of C3 by the acetaldehyde/membrane product was measured by immunofixation of the separated C3 components. Activation o...
متن کاملMeningitis caused by vancomycin-resistant Leuconostoc sp.
A rare case of purulent meningitis caused by vancomycin-resistant Leuconostoc sp. is reported. The patient was treated successfully with penicillin G, and there were no neurological sequelae. We recommend that all gram-positive cocci isolated from cerebrospinal fluid and blood be fully identified so as not to confuse Leuconostoc spp. with more commonly isolated pathogens such as pneumococci and...
متن کاملThe fermentation of sucrose by Leuconostoc mesenteroides.
The slime forming Leuconostoc mesnreroides is distributed widely in nature and is apparently ubiquitous in sugar factories. Neill, Hehre, Sugg, and Jaffe (1939) found dextran, a fermentation product of L. meenteroides, in all samples of cp sucrose examined. This organism, long a nuisance in the factory, has in recent years attracted wide interest because of the commercial possibilities of the d...
متن کاملCitrate Fermentation by Lactococcus and Leuconostoc spp.
Citrate and lactose fermentation are subject to the same metabolic regulation. In both processes, pyruvate is the key intermediate. Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis homofermentatively converted pyruvate to lactate at high dilution (growth) rates, low pH, and high lactose concentrations. Mixed-acid fermentation with formate, ethanol, and acetate as products was observed unde...
متن کاملProduction of Acetaldehyde by Zymomonas mobilis.
Mutants of Zymomonas mobilis were selected for decreased alcohol dehydrogenase activity by using consecutively higher concentrations of allyl alcohol. A mutant selected by using 100 mM allyl alcohol produced acetaldehyde at a level of 4.08 g/liter when the organism was grown in aerated batch cultures on a medium containing 4.0% (wt/wt) glucose. On the basis of the amount of glucose utilized, th...
