Growth of psychrophilic bacteria.
On the basis of the temperature range in which growth can occur, bacteria are usually divided into 3 groups, namely: thermophiles, mesophiles, and psychrophiles (sometimes called cryophiles or rhigophiles). Thermophiles have temperature optima (generally quite close to temperature maxima) 10 to 25 degrees above the temperature optima of mesophiles. Thermophiles and mesophiles are easily disting...
متن کاملClass D β-lactamases do exist in Gram-positive bacteria
Production of β-lactamases of one of four molecular classes (A, B, C and D) is the major mechanism of bacterial resistance to β-lactams, the largest class of antibiotics, which have saved countless lives since their inception 70 years ago. Although several hundred efficient class D enzymes have been identified in Gram-negative pathogens over the last four decades, none have been reported in Gra...
متن کاملAnaerobic growth of psychrophilic bacteria.
Upadhyay, J. (Washington State University, Pullman) and J. L. Stokes. Anaerobic growth of psychrophilic bacteria. J. Bacteriol. 83:270-275. 1962.-Facultatively anaerobic psychrophilic bacteria are widely distributed in nature and can be readily isolated from a variety of foods, soil, sewage, and other habitats. Strictly anaerobic psychrophiles, however, could not be isolated. Temperature and ox...
متن کاملPosttranscriptional modification of tRNA in psychrophilic bacteria.
Posttranscriptional modification in tRNA is known to play a multiplicity of functional roles, including maintenance of tertiary structure and cellular adaptation to environmental factors such as temperature. Nucleoside modification has been studied in unfractionated tRNA from three psychrophilic bacteria (ANT-300 and Vibrio sp. strains 5710 and 29-6) and one psychrotrophic bacterium (Lactobacil...
متن کاملCharacterization of four beta-lactamases produced by Staphylococcus aureus.
Staphylococcus aureus produces four types of beta-lactamase (A, B, C, and D). To investigate the effect of specific beta-lactamase type upon staphylococcal resistance, each beta-lactamase was purified to homogeneity, and the Michaelis constants (Km values) and turnover numbers (kcat values) for various penicillin and cephalosporin substrates were determined. Whereas Km values of the four beta-l...
