Pseudomonas streptomycin resistance transposon associated with R-plasmid mobilization.
Plasmid pMG1 encodes resistance to gentamicin, streptomycin, sulfonamides, and mercuric ions and also mobilizes pRO161, a transfer-deficient plasmid derived from RP1. Upon mobilization, pRO161 acquires streptomycin resistance (Smr) and can subsequently be remobilized by pMG1 at significantly higher frequencies than pRO161 itself. Both the initial acquisition of Smr and the subsequent mobilizati...
متن کاملPurification and Characterization of Hydroxypyruvate Reductase from the Facultative Methylotroph Methylobacterium extorquens AMI
Hydroxypyruvate reductase was purified to homogeneity from the facultative methylotroph Methylobacterium extorquens AM1. It has a molecular mass of about 71 kDa, and it consists of two identical subunits with a molecular mass of about 37 kDa. This enzyme uses both NADH (Km = 0.04 mM) and NADPH (Km = 0.06 mM) as cofactors, uses hydroxypyruvate (Km = 0.1 mM) and glyoxylate (Km = 1.5 mM) as the on...
متن کاملSerine transhydroxymethylase isoenzymes from a facultative methylotroph.
Two serine transhydroxymethylase activities have been purified from a facultative methylotrophic bacterium. One enzyme predominates when the organism is grown on methane or methanol as the sole carbon and energy source, whereas the second enzyme is the major isoenzyme found when succinate is used as the sole carbon and energy source. The enzyme from methanol-grown cells is activated by glyoxyla...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of the facultative methylotroph Mycobacterium ID-Y.
A facultatively methylotrophic Mycobacterium was isolated from Cleveland Harbor, Ohio, USA. The isolate, designated ID-Y, used a wide range of carbon and energy sources including methane and several other hydrocarbons. It displayed a growth cycle from rod-shaped exponential-phase cells, with many cell pairs exhibiting V-formation, to cocco-bacillary stationary-phase cells. A fixation technique ...
متن کاملPLASMID MEDIATED METAL AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE IN PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA STRAINS ISOLATED FROM BURN PATIENTS
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of bum infections, and antibiotic- resistant strains of this bacterium are emerging due to extensive application of antibiotics in the bum unit of hospitals. In this study 50 strains of P. aeruginosa were isolated from bum patients infected with this micro-organism in the bum unit of a general hospital in Kerman, Iran over one year [May 1999-ApriI20...
