Interrelationship of sugar metabolism (glucose, galactose, lactose) by Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp mesenteroides

Nosocomial Outbreaks Caused by Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides

From July 2003 through October 2004, 42 patients became infected by strains of Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides (genotype 1) in different departments of Juan Canalejo Hospital in northwest Spain. During 2006, 6 inpatients, also in different departments of the hospital, became infected (genotypes 2-4). Parenteral nutrition was the likely source.

2-Desoxy-D-glucose metabolism in Leuconostoc mesenteroides.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides.

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase from Zeuconostoc mesenteroides, previously isolated in crystalline form (Olive, C., and Levy, H. R., Biochemistry, 6, 730 (1967)), is shown to be essentially homogeneous by disc gel electrophoresis and sedimentation velocity analysis. The weight average molecular weight is 103,700, determined by both high speed and low speed sedimentation equilibrium techniques...

Leuconostoc mesenteroides Growth Kinetics

Bacterial profile modification (BPM) is being developed as an oil recovery technique that uses bacteria to selectively plug oil depleted zones within a reservoir to divert displacing fluids (typically water) into oilrich zones. Leuconostoc mesenteroides, which produces dextran when supplied with sucrose, is a bacterium that is technically feasible for use in profile modification. However, the t...

Complete genome sequence of Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides strain J18, isolated from kimchi.

Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides is one of the most predominant lactic acid bacterial groups during kimchi fermentation. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of L. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides J18, which was isolated from kimchi. The genome of the strain consists of a 1,896,561-bp chromosome and five plasmids.
