Biosynthesis of ubiquinone in non-photosynthetic Gram-negative bacteria

Biosynthesis of ubiquinone in non-photosynthetic gram-negative bacteria.

1. The polyprenylphenol and quinone complements of the non-photosynthetic Gram-negative bacteria, Pseudomonas ovalis Chester, Proteus mirabilis and ;Vibrio O1' (Moraxella sp.), were investigated. 2. Ps. ovalis Chester and Prot. mirabilis were shown to contain 2-polyprenylphenols, 6-methoxy-2-polyprenylphenols, 6-methoxy-2-polyprenyl-1,4-benzoquinones, 5-demethoxyubiquinones, ubiquinones, an uni...

Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Gram-Negative Bacteria in Gorgan

Abstract Background and Objective: The excessive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics will lead to drug resistance of microorganism and specially nosocomial organisms. Because of high incidence of antibiotic resistance in hospitals, we aimed to study antibiotic resistance to gram negative bacteria. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on the data of biological sampl...

Cell Envelope Structure and Functions in Gram-negative Bacteria

Isolation of Gram-negative Bacteria

Three different areas -hospital, food-handling establishments and human dwellings, were surveyed for pathogenic gram-negative bacteria carried on the cuticles of cockroaches. Fifty species of bacteria were identified from all cockroaches. Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Citrobacter freundii and Enterobacter cloacae were the most frequently found. Pathogenic and potentially pathogenic b...

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Antibacterial PDDA/Honey Nanofiber Against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria

Nanomaterials are increasingly used to the targeting of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacterial infections are a major cause of chronic infections and mortality. People requirement for new materials for pathogenic bacteria treatment. It seems that nanomaterial-based strategies can be resolving this problem. In this research, improved antibacterial na...
