Antibacterial activity of cerein 8A, a bacteriocin-like peptide produced by Bacillus cereus.
The mode of action of cerein 8A, a bacteriocin produced by the soil bacterium Bacillus cereus 8A, was investigated. The effect of cerein 8A was tested against Listeria monocytogenes and a bactericidal effect at 400 arbitrary units (AU)/ml was observed. In addition, cerein 8A was bactericidal against Bacillus cereus at 200 AU/ml, and inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli and Salmonella Enteri...
متن کاملPartial Purification and Characterization
An enzyme fraction containing phosphatase activity for phosphorylated eukaryotic peptide initiation factor 2 (eIF-2) has been isolated from rabbit reticulocytes and partially characterized, The enzyme efficiently catalyzes release of phosphate from the small subunit of eIF-2 (eIF-2a) that has been phosphorylated by the hemin-controlled repressor. It is shown to restore activity of this phosphor...
متن کاملPartial Purification and Characterization of Anticoagulant Factor from the Snake (Echis carinatus) Venom
Objective(s): Snake venoms contain complex mixture of proteins with biological activities. Some of these proteins affect blood coagulation and platelet function in different ways. Snake venom toxin may serve as a starting material for drug design to combat several pathophysiological problems such as cardiovascular disorders. In the present study, purification of anticoagulation facto...
متن کاملCharacterization and Partial Purification
A bstract. Platelets have been shown to affect the growth of vascular endothelial cells. This report describes the characterization and partial purification from human platelets of a novel growth factor which can stimulate human endothelial cells to synthesize DNA and grow. Platelets were lysed by sonication and the particulate fraction removed by ultracentrifugation at 100,000 g. The supernata...
متن کاملPartial Purification and Characterization of the Recombinant Benzaldehyde Dehydrogenase from Rhodococcus ruber UKMP-5M
Background: Benzaldehyde dehydrogenase (BZDH) is encoded by the xylC that catalyzes the conversion of benzaldehyde into benzoate in many pathways such as toluene degradation. Objectives: In this study, the xylC gene from Rhodococcus ruber UKMP-5M was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and characterized.Materials and Methods: The xylC was amplified and cloned in E. coli. The re...
