Carbon metabolism inChloroflexus aurantiacus

Carbon metabolism in Chromatium.

The purple photosynthetic sulfur bacterium, Chromatium, will grow only in the light and under anaerobic conditions. This organism can grow on an inorganic medium utilizing CO2 as the sole carbon source in the presence of reduced inorganic sulfur compounds. Some reduced carbon compounds can be utilized for the growth of this organism but only in the light and under anaerobic conditions. In this ...

Photosynthetic Carbon Metabolism

Photosynthetic carbon metabolism encompasses the processes by which plants and other photosynthetic organisms use the energy captured from light in the form of NADPH and ATP to convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into carbohydrates. Carbohydrates produced by photosynthesis form the base for the nutrition of all other life as well as serving as the starting materials for fibres, oils and many oth...

Carbon metabolism-mediated myogenic differentiation

The role of nutrients and metabolism in cellular differentiation is poorly understood. Using RNAi screening, metabolic profiling and small-molecule probes, we discovered that the knockdown of three metabolic enzymes-phosphoglycerate kinase (Pgk1), hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6pd) and ATP citrate lyase (Acl)-induces differentiation of mouse C2C12 myoblasts even in the presence of mitogens...

Meningitis caused by Gordona aurantiaca (Rhodococcus aurantiacus).

In a case of hairy cell leukemia, Gordona aurantiaca (Rhodococcus aurantiacus) was isolated from cerebrospinal fluid as the pathogen responsible for lethal infection of the central nervous system. The pathogen had been isolated previously from one case of pulmonary infection process only.

Carbon metabolism of Beauveria bassiana may be related to virulence against Plutella xylostella and Leptinotarsa decemlineata
