Zeaxanthin and menaquinone-7 biosynthesis in Sphingobacterium multivorum via the methylerythritol phosphate pathway.
Feeding of [1-(13)C]glucose, [U-(13)C(6)]glucose, [3-(13)C]alanine and [1-(13)C]acetate to Sphingobacterium multivorum showed that this bacterium utilizes the methylerythritol phosphate pathway for the biosynthesis of menaquinone-7 and zeaxanthin, a carotenoid of industrial importance. Differential incorporation of the labeled precursors gave some insight into the preferred carbon sources invol...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of anthraquinones in cell cultures of Cinchona 'Robusta' proceeds via the methylerythritol 4-phosphate pathway.
Robustaquinone B was found as a major anthraquinone in cell cultures of Cinchona 'Robusta' after treatment with a fungal elicitor. Anthraquinones in Cinchona are considered to be of the Rubia type, i.e. rings A and B are derived from chorismate and alpha-ketoglutarate, whereas ring C is formed from isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP). To determine the origin of IPP, either formed via the mevalonic ac...
متن کاملSphingobacterium multivorum: case report and literature review
We describe the case of a 67-year-old African American woman with multiple medical problems who presented with septic shock resulting from Sphingobacterium multivorum bacteraemia. S. multivorum, a Gram-negative bacillus, is ubiquitous in nature and is rarely involved in human infections. However, it is intrinsically resistant to many commonly administered antibiotics and can be a life-threateni...
متن کاملDiversity in isoprene unit biosynthesis: The methylerythritol phosphate pathway in bacteria and plastids
The long-overlooked methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway represents an alternative to the mevalonate route for the formation of isoprene units. It is found in most bacteria as well as in the plastids of all phototrophic organisms. A selection of significant steps of its discovery and elucidation are presented in this contribution, as well as a complete hypothetical biogenetic scheme for the...
متن کاملThe mevalonate-independent methylerythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis, including carotenoids*
A mevalonate-independent route to isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP), the universal precursor of isoprenoids, is present in many bacteria, in some unicellular green algae and in the plant plastids. All essential isoprenoids related to photosynthesis, including the carotenoids, are synthesized via this alternative metabolic route. IPP is formed from pyruvate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate via 1-deoxy...
