5-Aminolevulinate Synthesis in Permeabilized Filaments of the Blue-Green Alga Anabaena variabilis.
نویسنده
چکیده
Filaments of the blue-green alga Anabaena variabilis permeabilized by dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) produce increased amounts of 5-aminolevulinate in the presence of levulinic acid. The metabolic activity of the filaments remains unperturbed in the presence of up to 7.5% (v/v) DMSO. Studies utilizing DMSO-permeabilized filaments confirm that 5-aminolevulinate is synthesized preferably from glutamate and, to a lesser extent, from alpha-ketoglutarate in this organism.

متن کاملChilling-Susceptibility of the Blue-Green Alga Anacystis nidulans: III. LIPID PHASE OF CYTOPLASMIC MEMBRANE.
The lipid phase of cytoplasmic membrane was studied by freeze-fracture electron microscopy in the chilling-susceptible blue-green alga, Anacystis nidulans. At growth temperatures, intramembrane particles were distributed at random in the fracture faces of cytoplasmic membrane, whereas, at chilling temperatures, the fracture faces were composed of particle-free and particle-containing regions. T...
متن کاملPolypeptide Composition of Photosynthetic Membranes from Chlamydomonas reinhardi and Anabaena variabilis.
Anabaena variabilis, a blue-green alga lacking chlorophyll b, shows an absence of the major 22 and 24 kilodalton polypeptides which are present in the photosynthetic membranes of Chlamydomonas reinhardi and higher plants. These data are consistent with other investigations which have shown that these polypeptides are associated with chlorophyll b in the chloroplasts of higher plants, and indica...

Photosynthesis, Respiration, Blue-Green Algae, Arrhenius Plots, Phase Transition Temperatures Photosynthetic and respiratory electron-transport reactions by the blue-green alga, Anabaena variabilis, exhibit a strict temperature dependence in vivo as well as in the cell-free system. The ratio of respiratory oxygen uptake in the dark and oxygen evolution in the light is high after growth at low t...
متن کاملLipopolysaccharide containing L-acofriose in the filamentous blue-green alga Anabaena variabilis.
For the first time, an O-antigenic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been isolated from a filamentous blue-green alga (Anabaena variabilis). It was extractable with phenol-water, resulting in extraction of the bulk of the LPS into the phenol phase. The polysaccharide moiety of this LPS consists of l-rhamnose, its 3-O-methyl ether l-acofriose, d-mannose, d-glucose, and d-galactose. l-Glycero-d-mannoh...
