Chromosomal and plasmid locations for phosphoribulokinase genes in Alcaligenes eutrophus.
Genes coding for phosphoribulokinase (PRK), a key enzyme of the Calvin cycle, were localized in the genome of the chemoautotroph Alcaligenes eutrophus. The NH2-terminal sequence of the PRK subunit was determined. With a synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide probe complementary to a portion of this sequence, hybridization analysis revealed PRK genes to be located on both the chromosome and the megaplas...
متن کاملAlcaligenes eutrophus as a bacterial chromate sensor.
In Alcaligenes eutrophus CH34, determinants encoding inducible resistance to chromate (chr) and to cobalt and nickel (cnr) are located adjacent to each other on plasmid pMOL28. To develop metal-sensing bacterial strains, a cloned part of plasmid pMOL28, which contains both determinants, was mutated with Tn5-lacZ. The chr::lacZ fusions were specifically induced by chromium; cnr was induced best ...
متن کاملDenitrification by Alcaligenes eutrophus is plasmid dependent.
Curing of the hydrogenase-specifying megaplasmid pHG indigenous to strains of the facultative lithoautotrophic bacterium Alcaligenes eutrophus was correlated with a loss of denitrifying ability (Nitd). The retransfer of plasmid pHG1 reconstituted the Nitd phenotype. Plasmid-free mutants were still capable of converting some nitrate to nitrite, but they did not metabolize nitrite under anaerobic...
متن کاملCloning of pMOL28-encoded nickel resistance genes and expression of the genes in Alcaligenes eutrophus and Pseudomonas spp.
The 163-kilobase-pair (kb) plasmid pMOL28, which determines inducible resistance to nickel, cobalt, chromate, and mercury salts in its native host Alcaligenes eutrophus CH34, was transferred to a derivative of A. eutrophus H16 and subjected to cloning procedures. After Tn5 transposon mutagenesis, restriction endonuclease analysis, and DNA-DNA hybridization, two DNA fragments, a 9.5-kb KpnI frag...
متن کاملCloning of poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid) synthase genes of Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Rhodospirillum rubrum and heterologous expression in Alcaligenes eutrophus.
From genomic libraries of the purple non-sulfur bacteria Rhodospirillum rubrum Ha and Rhodobacter sphaeroides ATCC 17023 in the broad-host range cosmid pVK100, we cloned a 15- and a 14-kbp HindIII restriction fragment, respectively. Each of these fragments restored the ability to accumulate poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), in the PHB-negative mutant Alcaligenes eutrophus PHB-4. These hybrid cosmi...
