Glycerol dissimilation in Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides

Localization and characterization of the sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase in Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides.

The membrane localization and properties of the Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase have been examined utilizing enzymatically prepared acyl-acyl carrier protein (acyl-ACP) substrates as acyl donors for sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acylation. Studies conducted with membranes prepared from chemotrophically and phototrophically grown cells show that sn-glycerol-3-phosp...

Taxonomic diversity of anaerobic glycerol dissimilation in the Enterobacteriaceae.

A total of 1,123 strains representing 128 taxa in the Enterobacteriaceae (named species or subspecies and genomic species) were screened for the presence of glycerol dehydrogenases and 1,3-propanediol dehydrogenase. Only eight taxa, Citrobacter freundii sensu stricto, C. youngae, C. braakii, C. werkmanii, Citrobacter genomospecies 10 and 11, Enterobacter gergoviae and Klebsiella pneumoniae subs...

In vivo metabolic intermediates of phospholipid biosynthesis in Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides.

The in vivo metabolic pathways of phospholipid biosynthesis in Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides have been investigated. Rapid pulse-chase-labeling studies indicated that phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol were synthesized as in other eubacteria. The labeling pattern observed for N-acylphosphatidylserine (NAPS) was inconsistent with the synthesis of this phospholipid occurring by dire...
