Metabolic Adaptation and Protein Complexes in Prokaryotes
Protein complexes are classified and have been charted in several large-scale screening studies in prokaryotes. These complexes are organized in a factory-like fashion to optimize protein production and metabolism. Central components are conserved between different prokaryotes; major complexes involve carbohydrate, amino acid, fatty acid and nucleotide metabolism. Metabolic adaptation changes p...
متن کاملUrea and urea nitrate decomposition pathways: a quantum chemistry study.
Electronic structure calculations have been performed to investigate the initial steps in the gas-phase decomposition of urea and urea nitrate. The most favorable decomposition pathway for an isolated urea molecule leads to HNCO and NH3. Gaseous urea nitrate formed by the association of urea and HNO3 has two isomeric forms, both of which are acid-base complexes stabilized by the hydrogen-bondin...
متن کاملBacterial degradation of aromatic pollutants: a paradigm of metabolic versatility.
Although most organisms have detoxification abilities (i.e mineralization, transformation and/or immobilization of pollutants), microorganisms, particularly bacteria, play a crucial role in biogeochemical cycles and in sustainable development of the biosphere. Next to glucosyl residues, the benzene ring is the most widely distributed unit of chemical structure in nature, and many of the aromati...
متن کاملExtraordinary phylogenetic diversity and metabolic versatility in aquifer sediment
Microorganisms in the subsurface represent a substantial but poorly understood component of the Earth's biosphere. Subsurface environments are complex and difficult to characterize; thus, their microbiota have remained as a 'dark matter' of the carbon and other biogeochemical cycles. Here we deeply sequence two sediment-hosted microbial communities from an aquifer adjacent to the Colorado River...
متن کاملUnexpected Metabolic Versatility in a Combined Fungal Fomannoxin/Vibralactone Biosynthesis.
The secondary metabolome of an undescribed stereaceous basidiomycete (BY1) was investigated for bioactive compounds. Along with a known fomannoxin derivative and two known vibralactones, we here describe three new compounds of these natural product families, whose structures were elucidated using 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry. The new compound vibralactone S (...
