Endogenous encystment of Azotobacter vinelandii.
When young cells of Azotobacter vinelandii are impinged on membrane filters, washed free of carbon substrate, and placed on a mineral salts basal medium, the culture will proceed to encyst although at a slower rate than if n-butanol were supplied as a substrate. The endogenous cysts are depleted in polybeta-hydroxybutyrate and have a narrower intine but show an increased resistance to desiccati...
متن کاملProtein turnover in Azotobacter vinelandii during encystment and germination.
Protein turnover occurs during differentiation of Azotobacter vinelandii 12837 to the extent of 50% during encystment and 7% during germination. The addition of rifampin at the initiation of encystment prevents encystment and inhibits turnover. In germinating cysts, protein turnover is essential owing to an apparent lack of certain amino acid biosynthetic enzymes. The capacity to synthesize sul...
متن کاملRole of alternative sigma factor algU in encystment of Azotobacter vinelandii.
Alginate is essential for encystment in Azotobacter vinelandii. Transcription of the algD gene, which codes for GDP-mannose dehydrogenase, a key enzyme in the alginate biosynthetic pathway, is initiated at two promoters, one of which, p2, has sigmaE consensus sequences. AlgU is the A. vinelandii alternative sigmaE factor. In this study, we constructed an algU mutant (SMU88) which, as expected, ...
متن کاملPlasmids of Azotobacter vinelandii.
Four laboratory strains and two isolates of Azotobacter vinelandii were found to contain plasmids. Twenty-five laboratory strains which could fix nitrogen did not have free, covalently closed circular plasmid DNA. The plasmids varied in size from 9 to 52 megadaltons, and each strain yielded only one plasmid. No discernible differences in ability to fix nitrogen were found between plasmid-bearin...
متن کاملUltrastructure of Azotobacter vinelandii.
Vegetative cells and cysts of Azotobacter vinelandii 12837 were prepared for electron microscopy by several methods assumed to preserve structural details destroyed by techniques previously reported in the literature. Examination of large numbers of cells and cysts by these methods revealed four structural details not reported previously: intine fibrils, intine vesicles, intine membrane, and mi...
