Carbohydrate metabolism in mutants of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 defective in glycogen synthesis.
ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) and glycogen synthase (GS) catalyze the first two reactions of glycogen synthesis in cyanobacteria. Mutants defective in each of these enzymes in Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 were constructed and characterized. Activities of the corresponding enzymes in the selected mutants were virtually undetectable, and their ability to synthesize glycogen was entir...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa Recognizes Carbohydrate Chains
The adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to type 1 (Gal,11-3GlcNAc) and type 2 (Galpll-4GlcNAc) disaccharide determinants was studied in a microtiter adhesion assay and a thin-layer chromatography bacterial overlay assay. The oligosaccharides were prepared from human breast milk and human urine and were conjugated to hexadecylaniline to form neoglycolipids that were used in the assays. Both the m...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of mutants defective in the cyanide-insensitive respiratory pathway of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The branched respiratory chain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa contains at least two terminal oxidases which are active under normal physiological conditions. One of these, cytochrome co, is a cytochrome c oxidase which is completely inhibited by concentrations of the respiratory inhibitor potassium cyanide as low as 100 microM. The second oxidase, the cyanide-insensitive oxidase, is resistant to cya...

متن کاملGenetic mapping and characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutants defective in the formation of extracellular proteins.
We isolated 15 mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO which were defective in the formation of certain extracellular proteins, such as elastase, staphylolytic enzyme, and lipase ( Xcp mutants). The mutations were mapped on the chromosome by conjugation and transduction. The locations were xcp -1 near 0', with the gene order cys-59- xcp -1- proB , and loci xcp -2, xcp -3, and xcp -31 at 35', with...
