Efficiency factors and ATP/ADP ratios in nitrogen-fixing Bacillus polymyxa and Bacillus azotofixans.
The efficiency factor, the number of moles of ATP generated per mole of glucose fermented, was determined in anaerobic, non-carbon-limited N2-fixing cultures of Bacillus polymyxa, Bacillus macerans, Bacillus azotofixans, and Clostridium butyricum through identification and quantitation of the fermentation products by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and measurement of acetate kinase ...
متن کاملAmmonia Assimilation in Bacillus polymyxa
Pathways of ammonia assimilation into glutamic acid and alanine in Bacillus polymyxa were investigated by "N NMR spectroscopy in combination with measurements of the specific activities of glutamate dehydrogenase, glutamine synthetase, glutamate synthase, alanine dehydrogenase, and glutamic-alanine transaminase. Ammonia was found to be assimilated into glutamic acid predominantly by NADPH-depen...
متن کاملKeratinolytic Potential of Feather-Degrading Bacillus polymyxa and Bacillus cereus
Keratinolytic abilities of Bacillus polymyxa B20 and B. cereus B5esz were evaluated in liquid cultures in mineral media containing chicken feathers. Both tested strains were capable of effective liquefying and biodegradation of feather keratin, up to 56.5 – 72.1% in ten-day cultures, releasing considerable amounts of hydrolysis products. Tested bacteria were mesophilic species, producing highes...
متن کاملThe endospore of Bacillus polymyxa.
The endospore of Bacillus polymyxa was originally described by Meyer (1897) in a study of a bacillus which he designated Astasia asterospora. Meyer's drawings of the spore, showing ridges and the star shaped aspect, were reproduced by Knaysi (1951) over the name Bacillus asterosporus. It has not been generally recognized that this name is synonymous with B. polymyxa (Smith, et al., 1952). So th...
متن کاملGlutamate biosynthesis in Bacillus azotofixans. 15N NMR and enzymatic studies.
Pathways of ammonia assimilation into glutamic acid in Bacillus azotofixans, a recently characterized nitrogen-fixing species of Bacillus, were investigated through observation by NMR spectroscopy of in vivo incorporation of 15N into glutamine and glutamic acid in the absence and presence of inhibitors of ammonia-assimilating enzymes, in combination with measurements of the specific activities ...
