Regulation of hexose phosphate metabolism in Acetobacter xylinum.
The metabolism of glucose and fructose was studied in resting succinate-grown cells of Acetobacter xylinum. From fructose only cellulose and CO(2) were formed by the cells, whereas from glucose, gluconate was formed much more rapidly than these two products. The molar ratio of sugar converted into cellulose to sugar converted into CO(2) was significantly greater than unity for both hexoses. The...
متن کاملFactors affecting the activity of citrate synthase of Acetobacter xylinum and its possible regulatory role.
The citrate synthase activity of Acetobacter xylinum cells grown on glucose was the same as of cells grown on intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. The activity of citrate synthase in extracts is compatible with the overall rate of acetate oxidation in vivo. The enzyme was purified 47-fold from sonic extracts and its molecular weight was determined to be 280000 by gel filtration. It ha...
متن کاملFactors afecting the activity of pyruvate kinase of Acetobacter xylinum.
1. Extracts of Acetobacter xylinum were found to contain the glycolytic enzymes involved in the conversion of triose phosphate into pyruvate. Pyruvate kinase had the lowest relative activity. Phosphofructokinase activity was not detected in the extracts. 2. Only slight differences in the activity of pyruvate kinase were observed between cells grown on glucose and those grown on intermediates of...
متن کاملEncoding Cellulolytic Activity in Acetobacter xylinum
Recently, it was shown that a cellulose-negative mutant (Cell) ofAcetobacterxylinum ATCC 23769 carried an insertion of an indigenous transposable element (IS1031A) about 500 bp upstream of the bcs operon, required for cellulose synthesis. Here we show that Cell can be complemented by wild-type DNA covering the insertion point. Nucleotide sequencing of this region revealed the presence of two op...
متن کاملMetabolism of Dicarboxylic Acids in Acetobacter Xylinum.
Benziman, Moshe (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel), and A. Abeliovitz. Metabolism of dicarboxylic acids in Acetobacter xylinum. J. Bacteriol. 87:270-277. 1964.-During the oxidation of fumarate or l-malate by whole cells or extracts of Acetobacter xylinum grown on succinate, a keto acid accumulated in the medium in considerable amounts. This acid was identified as oxaloaceti...
