Hydrogenase and nitrogenase in cell-free extracts of Bacillus polymyxa.
Grau, F. H. (University of Wisconsin, Madison), and P. W. Wilson. Hydrogenase and nitrogenase in cell-free extracts of Bacillus polymyxa. J. Bacteriol. 85:446-450. 1963.-Washed cells of Bacillus polymyxa strain Hino, treated with lysozyme, yield cell-free extracts that rapidly evolve hydrogen from reduced methyl viologen, formate, and pyruvate. Hydrogenase is particulate, 86% being sedimented a...
متن کاملNitrogen fixation in cell-free extracts of Clostridium pasteurianum.
Extracts of Closfridium pasfeurianum have been separated into five protein fractions, which are necessary for nitrogen fixation when pyruvate is used as the source of energy and electrons. Pyruvate oxidase is shown to be heat-stable and to have gel filtration properties corresponding to a molecular weight of 100,000 or greater. The function of ferredoxin as an electron carrier for nitrogen fixa...
متن کاملCarbon dioxide fixation by cell-free extracts of Aspergillus niger.
Aspergillus nz&r 72-4 ferments sucrose or glucose to citric acid in high yields when grown on a medium in which the trace metal content is closely controlled (1, 2). With the aid of glucose3,4-Cl4, Cleland and Johnson (3) showed that the glucose is cleaved to two 3-carbon fragments in a manner that is compatible with the Embden-Meyerhof scheme. The labeling in the citrate indicated that the cit...
متن کاملNitrogen fixation by a facultative bacillus.
A basic problem in biological nitrogen fixation is the distribution of this property among various organisms. Although several decades ago numerous bacteria were reported to fix molecular nitrogen, very few such claims survived because the proof was often based upon an unimpressive increase in visual turbidity or Kjeldahl nitrogen after prolonged culture. The limitation of these methods has bee...
متن کاملMechanism of Biological Nitrogen Fixation X. Hydrogenase in Cell-free Extracts and Intact Cells of Azotobacter*
The discovery of hydrogenase in Azotobacter cells (1) raises the question of its function in the metabolism of this organism. This enzyme is usually found in anaerobic or facultative anaerobic bacteria which liberate Hz from certain substrates. Azotobacter is a strict aerobe, and its metabolism consists primarily in the simple oxidation of substrate to carbon dioxide and water. Although not con...
