The Activation of the FAD-Malic Dehydrogenase from Acetobacter xylinum by Monovalent Anions

Flavine Adenine Dinucleotide-linked Malic Dehydrogenase from Acetobacter Xylinum.

Benziman, Moshe (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel), and Y. Galanter. Flavine adenine dinucleotide-linked malic dehydrogenase from Acetobacter xylinum. J. Bacteriol. 88:1010-1018. 1964.-The properties of the pyridine nucleotide-nonlinked malic dehydrogenase of Acetobacter xylinum were investigated in the supernatant fluid obtained by high-speed centrifugation of sonic extrac...

a+Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase Complex of Acetobacter xylinum

The cu-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex of Acetobacterxylinum was purified to homogeneity. It consists of three main polypeptide chains with a total molecular weight of about 2.4 x 106. It catalyzes the overall Mg*+ and thiamin pyrophosphate-dependent, NAD+and CoA-linked oxidative decarboxylation of cY-ketoglutarate, as well as the partial reactions characteristic of the three enzyme compone...

Synthesis of Cellulose by Acetobacter Xylinum

Appearance of cellulose microfibrils in the medium of a suspension of cells of Acetobacter xylinum in buffered glucose solution was preceded by a stage during which the cellulose in the medium was amorphous within the available resolution. The size of the vertical axis of the microfibrils of the bacterial cellulose was found on the basis of measurement of shadow length to be only about 16 A. In...

Survey on Nano-fibers from Acetobacter Xylinum

The structure of novel C35 pentacyclic terpenes from Acetobacter xylinum.

A novel C(35) terpene and its monounsaturated analogue were isolated from cultures of Acetobacter xylinum, together with traces of their C(36) homologues. These substances were found to be hopane derivatives substituted by a five-carbon chain bearing four vicinal hydroxyl groups. For the parent hydrocarbon the term bacteriohopane is proposed. The elucidation of the structures utilized high-reso...
