Factors relevant in bacterial pyrroloquinoline quinone production.
Quinoprotein content and levels of external pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) were determined for several bacteria under a variety of growth conditions. From these data and those from the literature, a number of factors can be indicated which are relevant for PQQ production. Synthesis of PQQ is only started if synthesis of a quinoprotein occurs, but quinoprotein synthesis does not depend on PQQ sy...
متن کاملProduction and Radioprotective Effects of Pyrroloquinoline Quinone
Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) was produced by fermentation of the Methylovorus sp. MP688 strain and purified by ion-exchange chromatography, crystallization and recrystallization. The yield of PQQ reached approximately 125 mg/L and highly pure PQQ was obtained. To determine the optimum dose of PQQ for radioprotection, three doses (2 mg/kg, 4 mg/kg, 8 mg/kg) of PQQ were orally administrated to ...
متن کاملProduction of pyrroloquinoline quinone by using methanol-utilizing bacteria.
A large number of methanol-utilizing bacteria were screened for extracellular production of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) by using methanol as the carbon and energy sources. Of the bacteria selected, Hyphomicrobium sp. strain TK 0441 was examined for PQQ production by using a jar fermentor. The amount of PQQ in the broth and the level of methanol dehydrogenase activity in the cells were increa...
متن کاملFactors affecting the production of pyrroloquinoline quinone by the methylotrophic bacterium W3A1.
Two variants of the methylotrophic bacterium W3A1, designated W3A1-S (slimy) and W3A1-NS (nonslimy), were compared with respect to their ability to grow in batch culture on the C1 substrates methylamine, methanol, and trimethylamine. Substrate utilization, cell density, pH, cellular and soluble polysaccharide production, and concentrations of the enzymes methylamine dehydrogenase, trimethylamin...
متن کاملPyrroloquinoline Quinone as Cofactor in Galactose Oxidase
Galactose oxidase from Dactylium dendroides was shown to contain one molecule of covalently bound pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)/enzyme molecule. From the spectroscopic characteristics reported for the enzyme forms, a mechanistic role for PQQ could be deduced. In analogy with other quinoproteins, the initial formation of a PQQ-substrate adduct is proposed. Following internal hydrogen transfer, ...
