Properties of threonine deaminase from a bacterium able to use threonine as sole source of carbon.
A threonine deaminase susceptible to inhibition by isoleucine was purified over 3,000-fold from extracts of Pseudomonas multivorans, a bacterium able to use threonine or alpha-ketobutyrate as sole source of carbon and energy. The enzyme was characterized with respect to molecular weight, dissociation to subunits, and apparent affinities for threonine, isoleucine, and several other ligands. Cert...
متن کاملAerobic growth on nitroglycerin as the sole carbon, nitrogen, and energy source by a mixed bacterial culture.
Nitroglycerin (glycerol trinitrate [GTN]), an explosive and vasodilatory compound, was metabolized by mixed microbial cultures from aeration tank sludge previously exposed to GTN. Aerobic enrichment cultures removed GTN rapidly in the absence of a supplemental carbon source. Complete denitration of GTN, provided as the sole C and N source, was observed in aerobic batch cultures and proceeded st...
متن کاملThe Use of Acetonitrile as the Sole Nitrogen and Carbon Source by Geotrichum Sp. Jr1
A yeast strain identified as Geotrichum sp. JR1 was able to use acetonitrile as the sole carbon and nitrogen source. The strain grew in 0.5 to 2M acetonitrile. Ammonia generation as enzymatic product during the strain growth indicates the presence of an acetonitrile degrading enzyme. Acetic acid and acetamide were detected during assays with the resting cells cultivated in acetonitrile, indicat...
متن کاملEnzymatic Breakdown of Threonine by Threonine Aldolase
1. The enzyme which splits threonine to acetaldehyde and glycine has been partially purified from rat liver (five- to sixfold purification) and the name threonine aldolase proposed for it. 2. The general properties of threonine aldolase have been studied. The enzyme is unstable to a pH below 5. The pH optimum of the enzyme reaction is at 7.5-7.7. The initial rate of production of acetaldehyde i...
متن کاملCarotenoid Production by Rhodotorula sp. on Fruit Waste Extract As a Sole Carbon Source and Optimization of Key Parameters
Fruit waste extract was selected as the sole substrate for carotenoid production and the effect of parameters like pH, temperature and agitation have been studied. A two-step simple sequential strategy was employed for the optimization of carotenoid production by Rhodotorula rubra. In the first step, one factor at a time was employed to evaluate the impact of pH on carotenoid production. Th...
