Catabolic pathways for glucose, glycerol and 6-phosphogluconate in Mycobacterium leprae grown in armadillo tissues.
With radioisotopes, it was shown that suspensions of Mycobacterium leprae oxidized glycerol, 6-phosphogluconate, glucose, glucose 6-phosphate, and, at a low rate, gluconate, to CO2. The incubation period in these experiments was usually 20 h, but after 140 h up to five times more glucose and gluconate had been converted to CO2. Studies with differentially labelled glucose indicated that glycoly...
متن کاملDNA metabolism in Mycobacterium leprae.
Understanding the molecular basis underlying the hallmark features of Mycobacterium leprae, such as its parasitism and extraordinarily slow growth rate, has stimulated research into the biology of this pathogen for decades, but it is through the completion of its genome sequence that a quantum leap of progress has been achieved. 1 ln this review, we analyse the genes in M. leprae that are invol...
متن کاملPartial nucleotide sequence of 16S ribosomal RNA isolated from armadillo-grown Mycobacterium leprae.
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) was isolated from Mycobacterium leprae recovered from infected tissue of the Nine-banded Armadillo, and nucleotide sequences near the 3' end of the 16S species were determined by primer extension in the presence of dideoxynucleotides. Previously published data for bacterial 16S rRNAs show a pattern of conserved and non-conserved sequences that fit a common secondary structu...
متن کاملSuperoxide dismutase, peroxidatic activity and catalase in Mycobacterium leprae purified from armadillo liver.
Superoxide dismutase has been identified and peroxidatic activity demonstrated in Mycobacterium leprae. The superoxide dismutase, shown indirectly to be a manganese-containing enzyme, was present at low activity in the cell-free extract. Peroxidatic activity was detected in a haemoprotein on polyacrylamide gels, but quantitative assay was not possible. Catalase, although present in a cell-free ...
متن کاملo-Diphenoloxidase of Mycobacterium leprae separated from infecected armadillo tissues.
We reported earlier the occurrence of a unique o-diphenoloxidase in Mycobacterium leprae recovered from lepromatous human tissues. No other source of M. leprae fro biochemical studies was available at the time. In the present report, properties of phenoloxidase in M. leprae separated from infected armadillo tissues are presented. The results show that the o-diphenoloxidase remains unaltered in ...
