Growth of Escherichia coli on short-chain fatty acids: growth characteristics of mutants.
The parent Escherichia coli K-12 is constitutive for the enzymes of the glyoxylate bypass and adapts to growth on long-chain fatty acids (C(12) to C(18)). It does not utilize medium-chain (C(6) to C(11)) or short-chain (C(4), C(5)) n-monocarboxylic acids. Several mutants of this strain which grow using short- or medium-chain acids, or both, as the sole carbon source were selected and characteri...
متن کاملGrowth of Escherichia coli on short-chain fatty acids: nature of the uptake system.
Mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 which grow on butyrate and valerate were studied with respect to uptake of these substrates. To utilize short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids, E. coli must synthesize the beta-oxidation enzymes constitutively. In addition, growth on the C(4) and C(5) acids requires a second mutation which permits entry of these substrates. At pH 5, both in the parent and muta...
متن کاملIntraperiplasmic growth of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109J: attachment of long-chain fatty acids to escherichia coli peptidoglycan.
During the initial stages of intraperiplasmic growth of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus on Escherichia coli, the peptidoglycan of the E. coli becomes acylated with long-chain fatty acids, primarily palmitic acid (60%) and oleic acid (20%). The attachment of the fatty acids to the peptidoglycan involves a carboxylic-ester bond, i.e., they were removed by treatment with alkaline hydroxylamine. Their l...
متن کاملColonic short chain fatty acids mediate je junal growth
Colonic infusion of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) is trophic to rat jejunum and is associated with raised jejunal gastrin concentration. This study examined the hypothesis that the jejunal trophic effects of colonic SCFAs are mediated in part by gastrin. Forty six adult rats underwent caecectomy to reduce endogenous production of SCFA, ileocolonic anastomosis, and placement of a colonic infus...
