Characterization of the exopolygalacturonate lyase PelX of Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937.
Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937 secretes several pectinolytic enzymes, among which eight isoenzymes of pectate lyases with an endo-cleaving mode (PelA, PelB, PelC, PelD, PelE, PelI, PelL, and PelZ) have been identified. Two exo-cleaving enzymes, the exopolygalacturonate lyase, PelX, and an exo-poly-alpha-D-galacturonosidase, PehX, have been previously identified in other E. chrysanthemi strains. Usin...
متن کاملPectate lyase gene regulatory mutants of Erwinia chrysanthemi.
The pelB gene, which encodes one of the five pectate lyase isoenzymes of Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937, was mutagenized with a mini-Mu transposable element that can form gene fusions to the neomycin phosphotransferase-encoding region. Secondary mutants resistant to kanamycin in the absence of polygalacturonate, an inducer of wild-type pectate lyase activities, were selected. Such mutants produced o...
متن کاملScreening of Alginate Lyase-Producing Bacteria and Optimization of Media Compositions for Extracellular Alginate Lyase Production
Background: Alginate is a linear polysaccharide consisting of guluronate (polyG) and mannuronate (polyM) subunits. Methods: In the initial screening of alginate-degrading bacteria from soil, 10 isolates were able to grow on minimal medium containing alginate. The optimization of cell growth and alginate lyase (algL) production was carried out by the addition of 0.8% alginate and 0.2-0.3 M NaCl ...
متن کاملUptake of galacturonic acid in Erwinia chrysanthemi EC16.
Uptake of [14C]galacturonic acid in Erwinia chrysanthemi was found to be stimulated during growth on pectin and its degradation products, saturated digalacturonic acid and galacturonic acid. Cells isolated from macerated potato tissue also showed increased levels of uptake activity for this molecule compared with those showed by glycerol-grown cells. Uptake was found to be an active process, an...
متن کاملLactose metabolism in Erwinia chrysanthemi.
Wild-type strains of the phytopathogenic enterobacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi are unable to use lactose as a carbon source for growth although they possess a beta-galactosidase activity. Lactose-fermenting derivatives from some wild types, however, can be obtained spontaneously at a frequency of about 5 X 10(-7). All Lac+ derivatives isolated had acquired a constitutive lactose transport system...
