چکیده
Received for publication, April 9, 1960. higher organisms. The bacterial cytoplasm consists of granules, about 20 m/~ in diameter, which contain numerous enzymes of the electron transport system of the cell (1) and which were shown to carry out oxidative phosphorylation (2). Attempts of Mudd et al. (3) and others to visualize mitochondria-like bodies by means of intravital reduction of tetrazolium compounds to formazan

Cytochemical Localization of Two Glycolytic Dehydrogenases in White Skeletal Muscle
The cytochemical localization, by conventional methods, of lactate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenases is limited, firstly, by the solubility of these enzymes in aqueous media and, secondly, by the dependence of the final electron flow from reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NADH) to the tetrazolium on tissue diaphorase activity: localization is therefore that of the diaphoras...
متن کاملThe Cytochemical Localization of Oxidative Enzymes
Methods are presented for the intramitochondrial localization of various diphosphopyridine nucleotide and triphosphopyridine nucleotide-linked dehydrogenases in tissue sections. The cytochemical reactions studied involve the oxidation of the substrates by a specific pyridino-protein. The electron transfer of tetrazolium salt is mediated by the diaphorase system associated with the dehydrogenase...
متن کاملCytochemical localization of certain oxidative enzymes.
Employing the technique of cell fractionation, Schneider and Hogeboom (’56) described the localization of certain oxidative enzymes. They reported that cytochrome oxidase and succinic dehydrogenase were found only in the mitochondrial fraction while isocitric dehydrogenase was present in the supernatant and DPN and TPN cytochrome c reductases were observed to be in both fractions. More recently...
متن کاملPurification and properties of glutamate synthase and glutamate dehydrogenase from Bacillus megaterium.
Bacillus megaterium N.C.T.C. no. 10342 exhibits glutamate synthetase (EC 2.6.1.53) and glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.4) activities. Concentrations of glutamate synthase were high when the bacteria were grown on 3mM-NH4Cl and low when they were grown on 100mM-NH4Cl, whereas glutamate dehydrogenase concentrations were higher when the bacteria were grown on 100mM-NH4Cl than on 3mM-NH4Cl. Gluta...
متن کاملProduction of cobalamin and sirohaem in Bacillus megaterium: an investigation into the role of the branchpoint chelatases sirohydrochlorin ferrochelatase (SirB) and sirohydrochlorin cobalt chelatase (CbiX)
One of the four operons required for cobalamin biosynthesis in Bacillus megaterium is also associated with sirohaem synthesis, and contains three genes, sirA, sirB and sirC. By undertaking functional complementation experiments and in nitro assays using recombinantly produced enzymes, we have been able to demonstrate that (1) SirA acts as a uroporphyrinogen I I1 methyltransferase, transforming ...
