Novel actin-like filament structure from Clostridium tetani.
Eukaryotic F-actin is constructed from two protofilaments that gently wind around each other to form a helical polymer. Several bacterial actin-like proteins (Alps) are also known to form F-actin-like helical arrangements from two protofilaments, yet with varied helical geometries. Here, we report a unique filament architecture of Alp12 from Clostridium tetani that is constructed from four prot...
متن کاملIsolation of Clostridium Tetani from Soil.
Sanada, Ichiro (Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Japan), and Shoki Nishida. Isolation of Clostridium tetani from soil. J. Bacteriol. 89:626-629. 1965.-The higher the temperatures applied to soil specimens, the weaker the toxigenicity of Clostridium tetani strains isolated from them. The glucose- and maltose-fermenting ability of these isolates was inversely proportional to their toxigenicity. The...
متن کاملGenome of a chronic osteitis-causing Clostridium tetani
We sequenced the genome of a Clostridium tetani strain that caused chronic tibial osteitis without any clinical sign of tetanus in a 26-year-old man previously vaccinated against this disease. The genome contained a plasmid that harboured the tetX-tetR tetanospasmin operon, and was highly similar to that of a tetanus-causing strain.
متن کاملComparative pathogenomics of Clostridium tetani
Clostridium tetani and Clostridium botulinum produce two of the most potent neurotoxins known, tetanus neurotoxin and botulinum neurotoxin, respectively. Extensive biochemical and genetic investigation has been devoted to identifying and characterizing various C. botulinum strains. Less effort has been focused on studying C. tetani likely because recently sequenced strains of C. tetani show muc...
متن کاملGlucose dissimilation by Clostridium tetani.
Clostridium tetani is generally considered to be a nonsaccharolytic organism and is so described in the most recent edition of Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology (Breed et al., 1957). Despite this widespread opinion, evidence to the contrary exists. Achalme (1902) reported the stimulation of growth of this organism by glucose without ferementation of glucose; Reddish and Rettger (192...
