Influences of growth substrates and oxygen on the electron transport system in Acinetobacter sp. HO1-N.
The electron transport system of Acinetobacter sp. HO1-N was studied to determine the specific cytochromes and to measure changes in the composition of the respiratory system due to growth in various concentrations of oxygen or types of growth substrates. Spectrophotometric analysis revealed that the quantity and types of cytochromes changed in response to growth under various concentrations of...
متن کاملAlcohol dehydrogenases in Acinetobacter sp. strain HO1-N: role in hexadecane and hexadecanol metabolism.
Multiple alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) were demonstrated in Acinetobacter sp. strain HO1-N. ADH-A and ADH-B were distinguished on the basis of electrophoretic mobility, pyridine nucleotide cofactor requirement, and substrate specificity. ADH-A is a soluble, NAD-linked, inducible ethanol dehydrogenase (EDH) exhibiting an apparent Km for ethanol of 512 microM and a Vmax of 138 nmol/min. An ethanol...
متن کاملIdentification and synthesis of acyl-phosphatidylglycerol in Acinetobacter sp. HO1-N.
A minor phospholipid from Acinetobacter sp. HO1-N was identified as acyl-phosphatidylglycerol. Acyl-phosphatidylglycerol synthesis by outer-membrane preparations appeared to be a result of phospholipase A activity.
متن کاملStudy of the immunogenicity of outer membrane protein A (ompA) gene from Acinetobacter baumannii as DNA vaccine candidate in vivo
Objective(s): Acinetobacter baumannii is one the most dangerous opportunistic pathogens in hospitalized infections. This bacterium is resistant to 90% of commercial antibiotics. Therefore, developing new strategies to cure A. baumannii-infections is urgent. The DNA vaccines new approach in which the immunogen can be directly expressed inside the target cells through cl...
متن کاملAcinetobacter baumannii Secretes Cytotoxic Outer Membrane Protein A via Outer Membrane Vesicles
Acinetobacter baumannii is an important nosocomial pathogen that causes a high morbidity and mortality rate in infected patients, but pathogenic mechanisms of this microorganism regarding the secretion and delivery of virulence factors to host cells have not been characterized. Gram-negative bacteria naturally secrete outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that play a role in the delivery of virulence ...
