Evidence for an NIH shift in oxidation of naphthalene by the marine cyanobacterium Oscillatoria sp. strain JCM.
The marine cyanobacterium Oscillatoria sp. strain JCM oxidized naphthalene predominantly to 1-naphthol. Experiments with [1-2H]naphthalene and [2-2H]naphthalene indicated that 1-naphthol was formed with 68 and 74% retention of deuterium, respectively. No significant isotope effect was observed when the organism was incubated with a 1:1 mixture of naphthalene and [2H8]naphthalene. The results in...
متن کاملMetabolism of Naphthalene, 1-Naphthol, Indene, and Indole by Rhodococcus sp. Strain NCIMB 12038.
The regulation of naphthalene and 1-naphthol metabolism in a Rhodococcus sp. (NCIMB 12038) has been investigated. The microorganism utilizes separate pathways for the degradation of these compounds, and they are regulated independently. Naphthalene metabolism was inducible, but not by salicylate, and 1-naphthol metabolism, although constitutive, was also repressed during growth on salicylate. T...
متن کاملInterrelationship of Oxygen and Nitrogen Metabolism in the Filamentous Cyanobacterium Oscillatoria chalybea
Filamentous Cyanobacteria. Hydrogen Peroxide, Photosystem II. Nitrogen Metabolism By means of mass spectrometric analysis we have been able to demonstrate H20 2-production and its decomposition by photosystem II in thylakoids of the filamentous cyanobacterium Oscil latoria chalybea. This H 2Ö 2-production and its quasi simultaneous decomposition by the S-state system can be readily demonstrate...
متن کاملppGpp metabolism is involved in heterocyst development in the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120.
When deprived of a combined-nitrogen source in the growth medium, the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 (Anabaena) can form heterocysts capable of nitrogen fixation. The process of heterocyst differentiation takes about 20 to 24 h, during which extensive metabolic and morphological changes take place. Guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) is the signal of the stringent response that e...
متن کاملGenome Sequence of the Thermophilic Cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus sp. Strain NK55a
The genome of the unicellular cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus sp. strain NK55a, isolated from the Nakabusa hot spring, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, comprises a single, circular, 2.5-Mb chromosome. The genome is predicted to contain 2,358 protein-encoding genes, including genes for all typical cyanobacterial photosynthetic and metabolic functions. No genes encoding hydrogenases or nitrogenase we...
