Plasmid-encoded diacetyl (acetoin) reductase in Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides.
A plasmid-borne diacetyl (acetoin) reductase (butA) from Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides CHCC2114 was sequenced and cloned. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame encoding a protein of 257 amino acids which had high identity at the amino acid level to diacetyl (acetoin) reductases reported previously. Downstream of the butA gene of L. pseudomesenteroides, but coding in the ...
متن کاملPlasmid-encoded mercuric reductase in Mycobacterium scrofulaceum.
A Chesapeake Bay water isolate of Mycobacterium scrofulaceum containing a 115-megadalton plasmid (pVT1) grew in the presence of 100 microM HgCl2 and converted soluble 203Hg2+ to volatile mercury at a rate of 50 pmol/10(8) cells per min. Cell extracts contained a soluble mercuric reductase whose activity was not dependent on exogenously supplied thiol compounds. The enzyme displayed nearly ident...
متن کاملDiacetyl and acetoin production by Lactobacillus casei.
Agitation of broth cultures of Lactobacillus casei retarded cellular dry weight accumulation but enhanced production of both diacetyl and acetoin. Addition of pyruvate overcame this retardation, but addition of sulfhydryl-protecting reagents did not. Both pyruvate and citrate enhanced accumulated dry weight of L. casei incubated without agitation, but only pyruvate increased diacetyl accumulati...
متن کاملLeuconostoc pseudomesenteroides as a cause of nosocomial urinary tract infections.
The phenotypic and genotypic characterization of five clinical isolates of Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides associated with nosocomially acquired urinary tract infections is described. All the strains were susceptible to chloramphenicol, clindamycin, erythromycin, gentamicin, and tetracycline; all were resistant to nalidixic acid, norfloxacin, and vancomycin; and all were intermediately affected...
متن کاملLeuconostoc pseudomesenteroides-associated hemophagocytic syndrome: A case report
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare hyperinflammatory syndrome characterized by fever, pancytopenia and splenomegaly. The underlying hemophagocytosis occurs primarily in the bone marrow, liver and lymph nodes. Multiple microbiological agents, including cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of HLH. The present ...
