The energy metabolism of Clostridium kluyveri and the synthesis of fatty acids.
Clostridium k;luyveri is an anaerobic bacterium which was shown several years ago to convert ethanol to caproic acid (l-3). This unusual process could not be adequately studied at that time because of difficulties in growing the organism. These difficulties have recently been overcome and it is now possible to grow the bacterium in any desired quantity in a completely synthetic medium with rela...
متن کاملHydrogen oxidation by Clostridium kluyveri.
In 1952, Korkes (1) reported that cell-free extracts of Clostri&urn kluyveri were capable of reducing pyridine nucleotides with hydrogen. Subsequent investigations have shown that a heatstable cofactor of undetermined nature present in boiled cell extracts was required (2). Pyridine nucleotide reduction with hydrogen has since been demonstrated in a number of other microorganisms (3-5). The pre...
متن کاملAcetylation of amino acids by enzymes of Clostridium kluyveri.
The experiments were done with dried cells of C. kluyveri, Lots Q and R, prepared by the method of Stadtman and Barker (2). Lot R contained 1.2 pM of volatile acids, consisting mostly of caproic acid with a little acetic and butyric acids, and 3.2 I.LM of non-protein amino nitrogen per 25 mg. of dried cells. The enzymes responsible for acetylation of amino acids are pot readily inactivated by e...
متن کاملThe coenzyme A transphorase system in Clostridium kluyveri.
Koepsell, Johnson, and Meek (1) discovered that cell-free extracts of Clostridium butylicum catalyze the synthesis of butyryl P1 from acetyl P and butyrate. A similar reaction was later observed in extracts of Clost&Gum Icluyveri in which a rapid synthesis of propionyl P from acetyl P and propionate occurs, and the synthesis of higher acyl P compounds from the corresponding fatty acids occurs a...
متن کاملIncorporation and distribution of selenium into thiolase from Clostridium kluyveri.
Clostridium kluyveri incorporates selenium as selenomethionine into its acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase when grown in media containing normal sulfur-to-selenium ratios. Antibodies raised against the purified enzyme permitted quantitative immunoprecipitation of thiolase from crude cell extracts and thus facilitated the systematic analysis of the effects of wide variation in sulfur-to-selenium ratios on...
