Pyruvate Kinase of the Spore-forming Bacterium, Bacillus Zicheniformis
The kinetic properties of the purified pyruvate kinase (ATP: pyruvate phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.40) from the spore-forming bacterium Bacillus licheniformis were investigated. Catalysis by this enzyme in vitro required both monovalent and divalent cations and proceeded optimally at pH 7.0 to 7.4. The activity of purified pyruvate kinase was modulated by substrate activation (both P-enolpyruva...
متن کاملSafety assesment of Bacillus clausii UBBC07, a spore forming probiotic
Probiotics are vital bacteria that colonize the intestine and modify its microflora with benefits for the host. Very few members of the Bacillus group are recognized as safe for use and hence only a few strains are available as commercial preparations for application in humans and animals. Acute and subacute studies in rats were conducted to establish safety of Bacillus clausii (B. clausii) UBB...
متن کاملBacillus subtilis spore coat.
In response to starvation, bacilli and clostridia undergo a specialized program of development that results in the production of a highly resistant dormant cell type known as the spore. A proteinacious shell, called the coat, encases the spore and plays a major role in spore survival. The coat is composed of over 25 polypeptide species, organized into several morphologically distinct layers. Th...
متن کاملThe Adsorption Properties of Bacillus atrophaeus Spore on Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes
An equilibrium study of Bacillus atrophaeus (B.a) spores on functionalized Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) has been performed in order to characterize the adsorption properties of the spores/nanotubes complex. The carbon nanotubes here investigated were subjected to a two-step purification and functionalization treatment in order to introduce chemical groups on their basal planes. The inc...
متن کاملSpore germination and the life cycle of Frankia in vitro
Bacterial spores of Frankia produced in defined culture media were collected by filtration after washing in amounts approximating lo6 spores/mL. Frankia strains UFGCeI5 from Casuarina equisetifolia and UFGCgIl from C. glauca showed spontaneous release of spores in culture; strains HFPCcI3 from C. cunningharniana and HFPAllIl from Allocasuarina lehmanniana showed low spore release in culture unl...
