Hydrogenase and nitrogenase in cell-free extracts of Bacillus polymyxa.
Grau, F. H. (University of Wisconsin, Madison), and P. W. Wilson. Hydrogenase and nitrogenase in cell-free extracts of Bacillus polymyxa. J. Bacteriol. 85:446-450. 1963.-Washed cells of Bacillus polymyxa strain Hino, treated with lysozyme, yield cell-free extracts that rapidly evolve hydrogen from reduced methyl viologen, formate, and pyruvate. Hydrogenase is particulate, 86% being sedimented a...
متن کاملMechanism of Biological Nitrogen Fixation X. Hydrogenase in Cell-free Extracts and Intact Cells of Azotobacter*
The discovery of hydrogenase in Azotobacter cells (1) raises the question of its function in the metabolism of this organism. This enzyme is usually found in anaerobic or facultative anaerobic bacteria which liberate Hz from certain substrates. Azotobacter is a strict aerobe, and its metabolism consists primarily in the simple oxidation of substrate to carbon dioxide and water. Although not con...
متن کاملInactivation of Hydrogenase in Cell-free Extracts and Whole Cells of Chlamydomonas reinhardi by Oxygen.
O(2) irreversibly inactivates hydrogenase from Chlamydomonas reinhardi. The mechanism for the inactivation involves the reaction of one molecule of hydrogenase with one molecule of O(2) (or two oxygen atoms) in the transition complex of the rate-limiting step. The second order rate constant for this reaction is 190 atmospheres(-1) minute(-1) (1.4 x 10(5) molar(-1) minute(-1)). At levels above 0...
متن کاملAmmonia Assimilation in Bacillus polymyxa
Pathways of ammonia assimilation into glutamic acid and alanine in Bacillus polymyxa were investigated by "N NMR spectroscopy in combination with measurements of the specific activities of glutamate dehydrogenase, glutamine synthetase, glutamate synthase, alanine dehydrogenase, and glutamic-alanine transaminase. Ammonia was found to be assimilated into glutamic acid predominantly by NADPH-depen...
متن کاملNitrogenase, Hydrogenase and Hydrogen Production by Cyanobacteria
2 Summary Hydrogen has the potential to provide a clean, storable, transportable and renewable source of energy that can meet the need for power throughout the world. Biological production of hydrogen, especially by photosynthetic microorganisms that use sunlight for energy, provides a renewable source of hydrogen for fuel cells. Nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria can produce hydrogen in an aerobic ...
