Chartreusin: production and microbiological assay.
Chartreusin was produced in the fermentation liquors of Streptomyces chartreusis at peak concentrations of 200 to 300 mug/ml. The titers could be increased by 200 to 300% or more by incorporating d-fucose, a part of the chartreusin molecule, into the fermentation media. A microbiological assay with Sarcina lutea could detect concentrations of the drug of 0.5 to 1.0 mug/ml.
متن کاملRecent developments with the L5178Y TK heterozygote mutagen assay system.
The presently available mutagen test systems are no longer receiving critical acclaim by sole virtue of their positive response to ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS). Rather, they are being asked to yield answers to such questions as: how mutagenic is EMS in this system and, given this number, what does it imply relative to the genetic risk of EMS to man? Both of these questions address themselves to...
متن کاملA functional screening assay for the isolation of transcription factors.
Transcription factors (TFs) have been difficult to identify by bioinformatics, due to the heterogenous nature of the domains they are composed of. Therefore, we have developed a simple and generally applicable screening system for the identification of transcriptional activators, based on the presence of a functional transactivation domain (TAD). The system utilizes a retroviral vector to expre...
متن کاملBacillus subtilis "rec assay" test with isogenic strains.
The Bacillus subtilis "rec assay" test, widely used for the detection of DNA-damaging agents, was studied in detail, using an isogenic set of strains carrying different mutations in repair or recombination functions or both. recE4 and rec-45 mutations turned out to confer on the cells the highest sensitivity to known mutagens. The recE4 strain and its isogenic rec+ strain have been tested and v...
