Biochemical basis of obligate autotrophy in blue-green algae and thiobacilli.
Differential rates of incorporation of sugars, organic acids, and amino acids during autotrophic growth of several blue-green algae and thiobacilli have been determined. In obligate autotrophs (both blue-green algae and thiobacilli), exogenously furnished organic compounds make a very small contribution to cellular carbon; acetate, the most readily incorporated compound of those studied, contri...
متن کاملBiochemical basis of obligate autotrophy in Nitrosomonas europaea.
The specific activities of isocitric dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutaric dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, malic dehydrogenase, and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidase were determined in extracts of Nitrosomonas europaea and compared with the corresponding values for Anacystis nidulans and autotrophically grown Hydrogenomonas eutropha. In common with other obligate autot...
متن کاملPteridines in blue green algae.
The presence of a remarkably high concentration of pteridiineS in the blue green alga, Anacystis nidulanis 5, wvas demonstrated by Forrest, van Baalen, and Myers in 1957 (2). A number of (lifferent pteridines were then isolated and ideentifie(l. These included 2-amino-4-hydroxypteridine, 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxypteridline (10), a yellow pteridine assigned the structure 2-aimino-4-hydroxv-6-propion...
متن کاملRespiration in blue-green algae.
The low rate of endogenous respiration exhibited by the blue-green algae Anacystis nidulans and Phormidium luridum was not increased by the addition of respiratory substrates. However, endogenous respiration was inhibited by low concentrations of cyanide and by high carbon monoxide tensions. In addition, the uncouplers dinitrophenol and carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone both st...
متن کاملUltrastructure of blue-green algae.
Two freshwater blue-green algae, Tolypothrix tenuis and Fremyella diplosiphon, and an oscillatorialike marine alga, were found to possess structures on the photosynthetic lamellae which appear to correspond to the phycobilisomes of red algae. These homologous structures are important because they contain the phycobilins which are accessory pigments involved in photosynthesis. As in the red alga...
