Yeast mutants auxotrophic for choline or ethanolamine.
Three mutants of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae which require exogenous ethanolamine or choline were isolated. The mutants map to a single locus (cho1) on chromosome V. The lipid composition suggests that cho1 mutants do not synthesize phosphatidylserine under any growth conditions. If phosphatidylethanolamine or phosphatidylcholine, which are usually derived from phosphatidylserine, were s...
متن کاملOverproduction of α-Lipoic Acid by Gene Manipulated Escherichia coli
Alpha-lipoic acid (LA) is an important enzyme cofactor widely used by organisms and is also a natural antioxidant for the treatment of pathologies driven by low levels of endogenous antioxidants. In order to establish a safer and more efficient process for LA production, we developed a new biological method for LA synthesis based on the emerging knowledge of lipoic acid biosynthesis. We first c...
متن کاملCCXXXIII. METABOLISM OF a-KETOGLUTARIC ACID IN ANIMAL TISSUES
DEWAN [1938] and Adler et al. [1939] reported that certain enzyme preparations obtained from heart muscle bring about a reductive amination of ac-ketoglutaric acid. The hydrogen required in this reaction may be provided from other dehydrogenase systems via coenzyme I or II, especially from the ,-hydroxybutyric and i8ocitric dehydrogenases, according to the schemes: (1) ac-ketoglutaric acid+NH3+...
متن کاملOverproduction of Clavulanic Acid by UV Mutagenesis of Streptomyces clavuligerus
Clavulanic acid is produced industrially by fermentation of Streptomyces clavuligerus and researches have increased its production by strain improvement, recombinant DNA technology, and media composition and growth condition optimization. The main objective of this study was to increase the level of clavulanic acid production from Streptomyces clavuligerus (DSM 738), using UV irradiation. After...
متن کاملPurification studies of tyrosine-alpha-ketoglutaric acid transaminase.
Recent studies in vitro of tyrosine metabolism have revealed the distribution and the r&e of the tyrosine-a-ketoglutaric acid transaminase system (l-8). In certain of these studies the obligatory rBle of this transaminase as a first step in the conversion of tyrosine to homogentisic acid has been indicated (6-S). The present study is concerned with the partial purification of dog liver tyrosine...
