Chemotaxis mutants of Spirochaeta aurantia.
Five Spirochaeta aurantia chemotaxis mutants were isolated. One mutant (the che-101 mutant) never reversed, one (the che-200 mutant) flexed predominantly, two (the che-300 and che-400-1 mutants) exhibited elevated reversal frequencies, and one (the che-400 mutant) exhibited chemotactically unstimulated behavior similar to that of the wild-type strain. The che-101 and che-400 mutants were essent...
متن کاملSpirochaeta aurantia has diacetyl chloramphenicol esterase activity.
The free-living spirochete Spirochaeta aurantia was nearly as susceptible to diacetyl chloramphenicol, the product of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase, as it was to chloramphenicol itself. This unexpected susceptibility to diacetyl chloramphenicol was wholly or partly the consequence of intrinsic carboxylesterase activity, as indicated by high-performance liquid chromatography, thin-layer chro...
متن کاملUptake of D-xylose and D-glucose by Spirochaeta aurantia.
Uptake of D-[14C]glucose and D-[14C]xylose by Spirochaeta aurantia was demonstrated to be osmotic shock sensitive and to require a high-energy phosphorylated compound rather than a proton motive force. These features are similar to those of binding protein-mediated transport systems in other gram-negative bacteria.
متن کاملRelationship between proton motive force and motility in Spirochaeta aurantia.
The effects of various metabolic inhibitors on the motility of Spirochaeta aurantia were investigated. After 15 min in sodium arsenate buffer, 90% of cells remained motile even though adenosine triphosphate levels dropped from 5.6 to 0.1 nmol/mg (dry weight) of cells. After 70 min in sodium arsenate, 5% of cells were motile. Addition of phenazine methosulfate plus ascorbate at this time resulte...
متن کاملA voltage clamp inhibits chemotaxis of Spirochaeta aurantia.
Anaerobic conditions were employed to study the relationship between membrane potential and chemotaxis in Spirochaeta aurantia. When cells were grown anaerobically and suspended in anaerobic potassium phosphate buffer (pH 5.5), membranes did not appear to be polarized. Nevertheless, motility was supported by a transmembrane pH gradient, and the anaerobic cells exhibited D-xylose taxis. Introduc...
