Crystalline 2-ketogluconate reductase from Acetobacter ascendens, the second instance of crystalline enzyme in genus Acetobacter.

Re-examination of the genus Acetobacter, with descriptions of Acetobacter cerevisiae sp. nov. and Acetobacter malorum sp. nov.

Thirty-four Acetobacter strains, representing Acetobacter aceti, Acetobacter pasteurianus, Acetobacter pomorum, Acetobacter peroxydans, Acetobacter lovaniensis, Acetobacter estunensis, Acetobacter orleanensis, Acetobacter indonesiensis and Acetobacter tropicalis, were subjected to a polyphasic study that included DNA-DNA hybridizations, DNA base ratio determinations, 16S rDNA sequence analysis ...

On the cyclitol oxidizing enzyme system of Acetobacter suboxydans.

The oxidation of various inositols (hexahydroxycyclohexanes) and quercitols (pentahydroxycyclohexanes) and their derivatives by resting cells of Acetobacter suboxydans has been studied by Chargaff and his students (1, 2), who found that the specificity exhibited by the organism toward the cyclitols studied was not adequately described by the Bertrand-Hudson rules (3) for open chain polyalcohols...

Oxidations in Acetobacter suboxydans.

It has been shown that glycerol can be oxidized beyond the dihydroxyacetone (DHA) stage by resting Acetobacter suboxydans cells (1). Through washing and centrifuging of the cells at room temperature, most of the oxidative activity was destroyed, which, however, could be restored by the addition of inorganic phosphate and diphosphopyridine nucleotide (DPN). 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP), a phosphate “...

Survey on Nano-fibers from Acetobacter Xylinum

Oxidative dissimilation in Acetobacter suboxydans.

Interest in this laboratory has focused upon the metabolism of the acetic acid bacteria since the superior activity of bound forms of pantothenic acid (PAC) ((1, 2); coenzyme A (3, 4)) over the free vitamin was discovered. The disclosure that pantetheine (Lactobadus bulgaricus factor) is a mercaptan capable of coexisting with an oxidized disulfide form (5) has led to speculation as to whether c...
