Amino acid substitution in an amidase produced by an acetanilide-utilizing mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated which grew with acetanilide (N-phenylacetamide) as the sole carbon source for growth. The mutants could also use acetanilide as a nitrogen source but grew better in the presence of ammonium salts. The acetanilide-utilizing mutants produced amidases which differed in substrate specificity and electrophoretic mobility from the wild-type A amidase an...
متن کاملBiochemical and computational study of an alginate lyase produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain S21
Objective(s): Alginates play a key role in mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization, biofilm formation, and driving out of cationic antibiotics. P. aeruginosa alginate lyase (AlgL) is a periplasmic enzyme that is necessary for alginate synthesis and secretion. It also has a role in depolymerization of alginates. Using AlgLs in cystic fibrosis patients along with anti...
متن کاملImproved Production of Rhamnolipids by a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Mutant
A Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutant derived by random mutagenesis with N-methyl-N¢-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, producing high levels of the rhamnolipid biosurfactants was selected on Siegmund-Wagner (SW) plates. The mutant designated P. aeruginosa PTCC1637 produces rhamnolipids at concentrations 10 time more than parent strain. NMR analysis and surface tension measurement showed that the biosurfactan...
متن کاملRenal Hypertension Produced by an Amino Acid
Acute renal hypertension is produced by the injection of the amino acid dopa (l-dihydroxyphenylalanine) into the partially or completely ischemic kidney of the cat. Evidence is presented suggesting that the rise in blood pressure following the injection of dopa is caused by its conversion into hydroxytyramine, a pressor amine. Kidneys with normal blood flow fail to transform dopa into a pressor...
متن کاملAmino acid transport in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Properties of the transport systems for amino acids in Pseudomonas aeruginosa were investigated. Exogenous (14)C-labeled amino acids were shown to equilibrate with the internal native amino acid pool prior to incorporation into protein. When added at low external concentrations, the majority of the amino acids examined entered the protein of the cell unaltered. The rates of amino acid transport...
