Crystal structure of levansucrase from the Gram-negative bacterium Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus.
The endophytic Gram-negative bacterium Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus SRT4 secretes a constitutively expressed levansucrase (LsdA, EC 2.4.1.10), which converts sucrose into fructooligosaccharides and levan. The enzyme is included in GH (glycoside hydrolase) family 68 of the sequence-based classification of glycosidases. The three-dimensional structure of LsdA has been determined by X-ray crys...
متن کاملA type II protein secretory pathway required for levansucrase secretion by Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus.
The endophytic diazotroph Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus secretes a constitutively expressed levansucrase (LsdA, EC 2.4.1.10) to utilize plant sucrose. LsdA, unlike other extracellular levansucrases from gram-negative bacteria, is transported to the periplasm by a signal-peptide-dependent pathway. We identified an unusually organized gene cluster encoding at least the components LsdG, -O, -E,...
متن کاملFine Structure of the Gram-negative Bacterium Acetobacter Suboxydans
The morphological features of the cell wall, plasma membrane, protoplasmic constituents, and flagella of Acetobacter suboxydans (ATCC 621) were studied by thin sectioning and negative staining. Thin sections of the cell wall demonstrate an outer membrane and an inner, more homogeneous layer. These observations are consistent with those of isolated, gram-negative cell-wall ghosts and the chemica...
متن کاملGram-Negative Bacterium
The cell envelope of a marine pseudomonad as seen in thin section by electron microscopy has the double-membrane structure typical of other gram-negative bacteria. Cells washed with a solution containing Na+, K+, and Mg++ at their concentrations in the growth medium, when suspended briefly in 0.5 M sucrose, lost 13% of their hexosamine in a form nonsedimentable by centrifugation at 73,000 x g. ...
متن کاملPhosphate enhances levan production in the endophytic bacterium Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus Pal5.
Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus is a gram-negative and endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacterium that has several beneficial effects in host plants; thus, utilization of this bacterium as a biofertilizer in agriculture may be possible. G. diazotrophicus synthesizes levan, a D-fructofuranosyl polymer with β-(2→6) linkages, as an exopolysaccharide and the synthesized levan improves the stress toleran...
