Uptake hydrogenase in cyanobacteria: novel input from non-heterocystous strains.
Most of the research to date on cyanobacterial uptake hydrogenases has been performed on filamentous heterocystous strains. However, recent results on the hup gene cluster organization and its transcriptional regulation in non-heterocystous strains has contributed to the widening of knowledge in this field. In the present study, we outline the recent findings on uptake hydrogenases from non-het...
متن کاملBiphasic kinetic behavior of nitrate reductase from heterocystous, nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria.
Nitrate reductase activity from filamentous, heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria showed a biphasic kinetic behavior with respect to nitrate as the variable substrate. Two kinetic components were detected, the first showing a higher affinity for nitrate (K(m), 0.05-0.25 mm) and a lower catalytic activity and the second showing a lower affinity for nitrate (K(m), 5-25 mm) and a higher (3- to 5-fold)...
متن کاملGlutamine Synthetase from the Nitrogen-fixing Cyanobacteria
Glutamine synthetase has been purified to homogeneity from two N,-fixing cyanobacteria, Anabaena cylindrica and a species of Nostoc (the phycobiont of Peltigera canina). The activities of the A . cylindrica enzyme in the biosynthetic and transferase assays were, respectively, 9-4 and 32 pmol product formed min-l (mg protein)-l; the corresponding values for the Nostoc sp. enzyme were 6.5 and 20....
متن کاملHydrogenase and Nitrogenase in a Nitrogen-fixing Bacterium.
Interesting observations on intensity-dependent absorption of light have been reported by Bret and Gires,' who have not given a theoretical interpretation of their results. This note provides a simple discussion of the probable mechanism of the effects observed as being due to optical pumping by the absorbed light. Their work was done with a Q-spoiled ruby laser which provides flashes of X6943 ...
متن کاملMembrane electrogenesis and sodium transport in filamentous nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria.
Transport of Na+ and its relationship with membrane potential (delta psi m) was examined in Anabaena L-31 (a fresh water cyanobacterium) and Anabaena torulosa (a brackish water cyanobacterium) which require Na+ for diazotrophic growth. The data on the effect of N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide indicated that delta psi m was generated by electrogenic proton extrusion predominantly mediated by ATPas...
