Melanin from the Nitrogen-Fixing Bacterium Azotobacter chroococcum: A Spectroscopic Characterization
Melanins, the ubiquitous hetero-polymer pigments found widely dispersed among various life forms, are usually dark brown/black in colour. Although melanins have variety of biological functions, including protection against ultraviolet radiation of sunlight and are used in medicine, cosmetics, extraction of melanin from the animal and plant kingdoms is not an easy task. Using complementary physi...
متن کامل5-n-Alkylresorcinols from the nitrogen-fixing soil bacterium Azotobacter chroococcum Az12.
A mixture of five saturated 5-n-alkylresorcinol homologues was isolated from vegetative cells of the nitrogen-fixing soil bacterium Azotobacter chroococcum Az12. Their structures were established by spectrometry (1H NMR, EI-MS, FAB-MS, FAB-MS/MS) and chromatography (GC, TLC) means.
متن کاملDirect electrochemistry of two genetically distinct flavodoxins isolated from Azotobacter chroococcum grown under nitrogen-fixing conditions.
Two genetically distinct flavodoxins, designated AcFldA and AcFldB, were isolated from Azotobacter chroococcum (MCD1155) grown under nitrogen-fixing conditions. AcFldA and AcFldB differ in their midpoint potentials for the semiquinone-hydroquinone couple (Em -305 mV and -520 mV respectively). Only AcFldB was competent to act as an electron donor to the Mo-containing nitrogenase of A. chroococcu...
متن کاملSymbiosis between Chlorella Sp. and Azotobacter Chroococcum and Nitrogen Fixation
Alfred Koch has given considerable attention to the subject of nitrogen fixation by bacteria as resulting from their symbiosis with alga~. Many others have also investigated various features of this problem. In spite of all this there are numerous questions which remain unsolved. The use of soil cultures for such studies is objectionable on account of the soil's complexity, its variety of flora...
متن کاملAzotobacter genomes: the genome of Azotobacter chroococcum NCIMB
The genome of the soil-dwelling heterotrophic N2-fixing Gram-negative bacterium Azotobacter chroococcum NCIMB 8003 (ATCC 4412) (Ac-8003) has been determined. It consists of 7 circular replicons totalling 5,192,291 bp comprising a circular chromosome of 4,591,803 bp and six plasmids pAcX50a, b, c, d, e, f of 10,435 bp, 13,852, 62,783, 69,713, 132,724, and 311,724 bp respectively. The chromosome ...
