Cell wall composition in Corynebacterium bovis and some other corynebacteria.

نویسنده

  • C S Cummins
چکیده

The cell wall compositions of two strains of Corynebacterium bovis were found to differ: one contained lysine, rhamnose, mannose, and glucose, the other meso-alpha, epsilon, diaminopimelic acid (DAP), arabinose, galactose, and mannose. The walls of a strain of C. nephridii were characterized by l-DAP and galactose. Those of a strain of C. paurometabolum and of two strains of "lipophilic diphtheroids" contained meso-DAP, arabinose, galactose, and mannose as did walls of a reference strain of C. xerosis. The results are discussed in relation to the taxonomy of the organisms examined.

A survey of the structures of mycolic acids in Corynebacterium and related taxa.

Acid methanolysates of 104 strains of coryneform and related bacteria were examined for mycolic acids by thin-layer chromatography and mass spectrometry. The mycolic acids of Corynebacterium sensu stricto strains were not uniform in size and structure, and considerable variation existed within the approximate limiting range of C22 to C36. Two species, Corynebacterium bovis and 'Corynebacterium ...

Distribution of menaquinones in actinomycetes and corynebacteria.

Menaquinones were the only isoprenoid quinones found in 48 corynebacteria and actinomycete strains examined. Dihydromenaquinones having nine isoprene units were the main components isolated from Gordona, Mycobacterium, Corynebacterium bovis, Corynebacterium glutamicum and a strain labelled Nocardia farcinica, but dihydromenaquinones having eight isoprene units were characteristic of other Coryn...

Insight of Genus Corynebacterium: Ascertaining the Role of Pathogenic and Non-pathogenic Species

This review gathers recent information about genomic and transcriptomic studies in the Corynebacterium genus, exploring, for example, prediction of pathogenicity islands and stress response in different pathogenic and non-pathogenic species. In addition, is described several phylogeny studies to Corynebacterium, exploring since the identification of species until biological speciation in one sp...

Identification of a cell-wall channel in the corynemycolic acid-free Gram-positive bacterium Corynebacterium amycolatum.

As part of a comparative study of the cell wall of corynebacteria, a channel-forming protein was characterized in Corynebacterium amycolatum, a species devoid of corynemycolic acids. Corynebacterium amycolatum cells were disrupted and the cell envelope subjected to two different separation procedures, differential centrifugation to separate the different fractions of the cell envelope, and sucr...

Cell Envelope of Corynebacteria: Structure and Influence on Pathogenicity

To date the genus Corynebacterium comprises 88 species. More than half of these are connected to human and animal infections, with the most prominent member of the pathogenic species being Corynebacterium diphtheriae, which is also the type species of the genus. Corynebacterium species are characterized by a complex cell wall architecture: the plasma membrane of these bacteria is followed by a ...
