Structural and Enzymatic Characterization of a Nucleoside Diphosphate Sugar Hydrolase from Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus.
Given the broad range of substrates hydrolyzed by Nudix (nucleoside diphosphate linked to X) enzymes, identification of sequence and structural elements that correctly predict a Nudix substrate or characterize a family is key to correctly annotate the myriad of Nudix enzymes. Here, we present the structure determination and characterization of Bd3179 -- a Nudix hydrolase from Bdellovibrio bacte...
متن کاملIsolation and preliminary characterization of bacteriophages for Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus.
Ten bacteriophages that attack and lyse saprophytic strains of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus were isolated. Morphological, serological, and host-range studies revealed that there were four different bdellovibrio phages present among the isolates. One of the phages lysed a strain of B. bacteriovorus that requires the presence of a suitable bacterial host for growth. The phage attached to the bdello...
متن کاملNucleoside diphosphate sugar hydrolase gene of Salmonella typhimurium: chromosomal location determined by intergeneric crosses.
The gene specifying a membrane-bound nucleoside diphosphate sugar hydrolase of Salmonella typhimurium was mapped near the metA locus by using intergeneric crosses between this bacterium and Escherichia coli.
متن کاملIsolation of a bacteriophage for Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus.
A phage infective for Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus was isolated. Electron microscopy revealed that it is tail-less, has a hexagonal appearance and two distinct capsomere layers, and is 60 to 70 nm in size. The nucleic acid appears to be single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid. This is the first report of the isolation of a phage infective for B. bacteriovorus.
متن کاملCharacterization of the first highly predatory Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus from Iran and its potential lytic activity against principal pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae
Objective(s): Bdellovibrio-and-like organisms (BALOs) are predatory prokaryotes that attack and kill other Gram-negative bacteria for growth and reproduction. This study describes the isolation, identification, biological properties, and bacteriolytic activity of the first Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus with a broad prey range from Iran.Materials and Meth...
