Paraffin oxidation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. I. Induction of paraffin oxidation.
The induction of paraffin oxidation in intact cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was investigated. Oxidation of (14)C-heptane by cell-free extracts of adapted cells showed that the activity of whole cells is a reliable reflection of the synthesis of the first enzyme in the degradation of n-alkanes. Induction was significantly affected by glucose and could be completely repressed by malate. The ami...
متن کاملNovel rhamnolipid biosurfactants produced by a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain NY3.
A novel rhamnolipid biosurfactant-producing and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain NY3 was isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil samples. Strain NY3 was characterized by its extraordinary capacity to produce structurally diverse rhamnolipids. A total of 25 rhamnolipid components and 37 different parent molecular ions, representing various...
متن کاملRhamnose and rhamnolipide biosynthesis by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces, when grown on a glycerol or fructose medium, a unique glycolipide composed of 2 moles each of L-rhamnose and ,%hydroxydecanoic acid. The formula of the isolated compound as determined by Jarvis and Johnson (3) is shown in Fig. 1. Various aspects of the conditions under which this rhamnolipide is produced have been investigated previously. Further, a synthetic me...
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...
