Analogies and homologies in lipopolysaccharide and glycoprotein biosynthesis in bacteria.
Bacteria generate and attach countless glycan structures to diverse macromolecules. Despite this diversity, the mechanisms of glycoconjugate biosynthesis are often surprisingly similar. The focus of this review is on the commonalities between lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and glycoprotein assembly pathways and their evolutionary relationship. Three steps that are essential for both pathways are comp...
متن کاملGenetics and assembly line enzymology of siderophore biosynthesis in bacteria.
The regulatory logic of siderophore biosynthetic genes in bacteria involves the universal repressor Fur, which acts together with iron as a negative regulator. However in other bacteria, in addition to the Fur-mediated mechanism of regulation, there is a concurrent positive regulation of iron transport and siderophore biosynthetic genes that occurs under conditions of iron deprivation. Despite ...
متن کاملEnteric Bacteria
Biochemical confirmation of salmonellae by conventional tube methods usually requires 2 to 3 days of incubation time preceded by preparation of tubed media and transfer of cultures. The principles of heavy inocula and increased substrate concentrations have been used by Sanders et al. (1) to speed up reaction times and thus reduce the time necessary in the laboratory for analysis. To characteri...
متن کاملGlycogen of enteric bacteria.
In the course of an investigation of the use of infrared spectrophotometry for bacterial identification (Stevenson and Bolduan, 1952; Levine et al., 1953b), it has been found that a characteristic set of absorption bands appears in the spectra of Enterobacteriaceae and other bacteria under certain cultural conditions. Since this set of bands is common to many organisms, it is important in ident...
متن کاملEnteric Bacteria in Aquatic Ecosystems
were prepared from two enteric bacterial species, Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis. Counts of CFU of NSB and RSB and total numbers of RSB and FLB were monitored over time, both in the presence and in the absence of natural microbiota. In the presence of natural microbiota, no differences were observed between CFU counts of NSB and RSB, but RSB total numbers were 1 to 4 orders of magni...
