The Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 hoxX gene participates in hydrogenase regulation.
Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed a 1,791-bp open reading frame in the hox gene cluster of the gram-negative chemolithotroph Alcaligenes eutrophus H16. In order to investigate the biological role of this open reading frame, we generated an in-frame deletion allele via a gene replacement strategy. The resulting mutant grew significantly more slowly than the wild type under lithoautotrophic c...
متن کاملPoly(3-hydroxybutyrate) biosynthesis in the biofilm of Alcaligenes eutrophus, using glucose enzymatically released from pulp fiber sludge.
Glucose, enzymatically released from pulp fiber sludge, was combined with inorganic salts and used as a growth medium for Alcaligenes eutrophus, a gram-negative strain producing poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). By controlling the concentrations of the inorganic salts in the growth medium, almost 78% of the cell mass was converted to pure PHB. Efforts were made to find conditions for bacterial gro...
متن کاملCyclic nature of poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) metabolism in Alcaligenes eutrophus.
The cyclic process of biosynthesis and degradation of poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) was studied in Alcaligenes eutrophus under conditions of nitrogen-limitation of growth. A. eutrophus cells, which had accumulated poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) of 55 wt% content within cells from butyric acid, were transferred into a nitrogen-free medium containing pentanoic acid as the sole carbon source and c...
متن کاملIdentification and molecular characterization of the Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 aco operon genes involved in acetoin catabolism.
Acetoin:dichlorophenolindophenol oxidoreductase (Ao:DCPIP OR) and the fast-migrating protein (FMP) were purified to homogeneity from crude extracts of acetoin-grown cells of Alcaligenes eutrophus. Ao:DCPIP OR consisted of alpha and beta subunits (Mrs, 35,500 and 36,000, respectively), and a tetrameric alpha 2 beta 2 structure was most likely for the native protein. The molecular weight of FMP s...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of the Alcaligenes eutrophus poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) biosynthetic operon: identification of the N terminus of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) synthase and identification of the promoter.
Molecular methods have been applied to analyze the expression of the Alcaligenes eutrophus poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) synthase gene (phbC). The translational initiation codon was identified by analysis of the amino acid sequence of a PHB synthase-beta-galactosidase fusion protein. This protein was purified to almost gel electrophoretic homogeneity by chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel and on am...
