Complete Genome Sequence of a Cyanotroph, Pseudomonas fluorescens NCIMB 11764, Employing Single-Molecule Real-Time Technology

We report here the application of single-molecule real-time sequencing for determining the entire genome structure of the cyanotroph Pseudomonas fluorescens NCIMB 11764.

Enzymatic assimilation of cyanide via pterin-dependent oxygenolytic cleavage to ammonia and formate in Pseudomonas fluorescens NCIMB 11764.

Utilization of cyanide as a nitrogen source by Pseudomonas fluorescens NCIMB 11764 occurs via oxidative conversion to carbon dioxide and ammonia, with the latter compound satisfying the nitrogen requirement. Substrate attack is initiated by cyanide oxygenase (CNO), which has been shown previously to have properties of a pterin-dependent hydroxylase. CNO was purified 71-fold and catalyzed the qu...

Elemental and redox analysis of single bacterial cells by x-ray microbeam analysis.

High-energy x-ray fluorescence measurements were used to make elemental maps and qualitative chemical analyses of individual Pseudomonas fluorescens strain NCIMB 11764 cells. Marked differences between planktonic and adhered cells were seen in the morphology, elemental composition, and sensitivity to Cr(VI) of hydrated cells at spatial scales of 150 nm. This technology can be applied to natural...
