متن کاملBiosynthesis of streptococcal cell walls: N-acetyl-D-muramic acid.
Glucose-1-(14)C and acetylglucosamine-1-(14)C were added singly and together with equal amounts of the unlabeled reciprocal to Brain Heart Infusion and used for the culture of Streptococcus pyogenes. The labeling pattern of the rhamnose, glucosamine, and muramic acid in the cell wall supported an intermediary role for acetylglucosamine in providing the C1-C6 moiety of muramic acid. Although rad...
متن کاملIdentification of a genetic locus involved in the biosynthesis of N-acetyl-D-mannosamine, a precursor of the (alpha 2-->8)-linked polysialic acid capsule of serogroup B Neisseria meningitidis.
We characterized the genetic defect of a capsule-deficient serogroup B meningococcal strain created by Tn916 mutagenesis. The transposon insertion interrupts a capsule biosynthesis gene, synX, which is involved in the production of N-acetyl-D-mannosamine, a precursor of the (alpha 2-->8)-linked polysialic acid capsule of serogroup B meningococci.
متن کاملN-Acetyl-D-Mannosamine Treatment Alleviates Age-Related Decline in Place-Learning Ability in Dogs
This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of N-acetyl-D-mannosamine (ManNAc) on age-related cognitive dysfunction in dogs. ManNAc was administered to 5 dogs with low cognitive levels for 2 months, and the cognitive ability and active-resting cycle were periodically assessed for improvement. ManNAc treatment significantly reduced the number of error trials in the place-learning tes...
متن کاملSelenium enhances nutrient uptake and rosmarinic acid biosynthesis in Melissa officinalis L. under salinity stress
Salt stress is a serious problem facing plant growth and development. Selenium (Se) could improve plant growth and reduced stress. Hence, the aim of this study was to determine whether the Se application could alleviate salinity stress negative effects on Melissa officinalis L. Different salinity levels in this research were control (0), 50, 100 and 200 mM. Simultaneously, sodium selenate (Se) ...
