Metabolism of Leuconostoc Bacteria

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

Pentose Metabolism in Bacteria

That the practice of medicine in general may be a trying experience under central military control is well known to all who have experienced it. Lieutenant Colonel John L. Yates summarized this aspect of the situation succinctly in the following words: "Civil surgeons can and should prepare themselves not merely to give professional services but to give them under the restrictions of military m...

The Metabolism of Phytopathogenic Bacteria

In view of the economic importance of plant pathogenic bacteria it is understandable that most of the work on these organisms should have been devoted to problems of pathogenicity, host range, and symptoms, specificity, distribution, and control (Burkholder, 1948; Hildebrandt, 1950). The taxonomy of these bacteria has been the subject of numerous investigations (Burkholder, 1948) and significan...

Cell wall constituents of Leuconostoc citrovorum and Leuconostoc mesenteroides.

The cell wall constituents of Leuconostoc citrovorum 8082, L. mesenteroides 10830a, and L. mesenteroides 11449 have been ascertained. All three strains contained glycerol. Glucose and rhamnose were the major reducing sugar constituents. Alanine, glutamic acid, lysine, glucosamine, and muramic acid were the principal amino acids and amino sugars in all three strains. In addition, strain 10830a c...

Alduronic acid metabolism by bacteria.

In a previous study (Payne and Carlson, 1957), the metabolism of glucuronic acid and galacturonic acid by whole cells was found to proceed in a variety of enteric bacteria and plant pathogens as the result of substrate induced enzymes. Glucuronate utilization by dried cells of Serratia marcescens resulted in the production of an unidentified reducing acid which could be isolated by paper chroma...
