Bacterial Cell Metabolism under Anaerobic
Since the days of Pasteur it has been known that under anaerobic conditions microorganisms display special powers of attacking carbohydrate molecules. As a rule, however, such observations have been made on mass cultures with no knowledge of the actual number of ceils concerned. In the ordinary routine bacteriological tests for fermentation, even the amount and type of gas produced is only conj...
متن کاملBacterial Cell Metabolism under Anaerobic Conditions
Escherichia coli has been cultivated in a peptone water medium saturated continuously with nitrogen by use of a gas train so as to produce anaerobic conditions. Under these circumstances growth was greatly inhibited. Cultures which originally contained 11 million bacteria per cc. showed on the average only 32 million after 5 hours (as compared with 655 million in similar cultures saturated with...
متن کاملA mechanistic stochastic framework for regulating bacterial cell division
How exponentially growing cells maintain size homeostasis is an important fundamental problem. Recent single-cell studies in prokaryotes have uncovered the adder principle, where cells add a fixed size (volume) from birth to division, irrespective of their size at birth. To mechanistically explain the adder principle, we consider a timekeeper protein that begins to get stochastically expressed ...
متن کاملGenetic Variants Regulating Immune Cell Levels in Health and Disease
The complex network of specialized cells and molecules in the immune system has evolved to defend against pathogens, but inadvertent immune system attacks on "self" result in autoimmune disease. Both genetic regulation of immune cell levels and their relationships with autoimmunity are largely undetermined. Here, we report genetic contributions to quantitative levels of 95 cell types encompassi...
متن کاملRole of Alternative Splicing in Regulating Cancer Cell Metabolism
Cancer cells, unlike their normal counterparts, metabolize glucose by aerobic glycolysis. This phenomenon, known as the Warburg effect, is characterized by increased glycolysis with lactate production and decreased oxidative phosphorylation. Although this observation was made over 75 years ago, how cancer cells establish this altered metabolic phenotype remains elusive. Recently, we found that ...
