The significance of peroxisomes in methanol metabolism in methylotrophic yeast.
The capacity to use methanol as sole source of carbon and energy is restricted to relatively few yeast species. This may be related to the low efficiency of methanol metabolism in yeast, relative to that of prokaryotes. This contribution describes the details of methanol metabolism in yeast and focuses on the significance of compartmentalization of this metabolic pathway in peroxisomes.
متن کاملBacillus methanolicus sp. nov., a new species of thermotolerant, methanol-utilizing, endospore-forming bacteria.
The generic position of 14 strains of gram-positive bacteria able to use methanol as a growth substrate was determined. All are obligately aerobic, thermotolerant organisms that are able to grow at temperatures of 35 to 60 degrees C. Nine of the strains produce oval spores at a subterminal-to-central position in slightly swollen rod-shaped cells. DNA-DNA hybridization studies, 5S rRNA sequence ...
متن کامل"a methylotrophic thermotolerant actinomycete with a nad+- dependent methanol dehydrogenase"
the methylotrophic thermo tolerant actinomycete strain 381, was isolated from a compost sample, assimilated methanol during growth. methanol dehydrogenase could not be detected in cell extracts using dye-linked assays in the absence of nad+. dichlorophenol-indophenol-linked methanol oxidation was detected in broken cell suspensions in the presence of nad+ and the absence of cyanide. taxonomic s...
متن کاملNovel Methanol Dehydrogenase from the Thermotolerant
Methanol dehydrogenase from the thermotolerant Bacillus sp. C 1 was studied by electron microscopy and image processing. Two main projections can be distinguished: one exhibits 5-fold symmetry and has a diameter of 15 nm, the other is rectangular with sides of 15 and 9 nm. Subsequent image processing showed that the 6-fold view possesses mirror symmetry. The rectangular views can be divided int...
متن کاملPlasmid-dependent methylotrophy in thermotolerant Bacillus methanolicus.
Bacillus methanolicus can efficiently utilize methanol as a sole carbon source and has an optimum growth temperature of 50 degrees C. With the exception of mannitol, no sugars have been reported to support rapid growth of this organism, which is classified as a restrictive methylotroph. Here we describe the DNA sequence and characterization of a 19,167-bp circular plasmid, designated pBM19, iso...
