Lipid Metabolism of Euglena Gracilis.
In both plants and animals pathways exist for the conversion of oleic acid to polyenoic acids (1, 2), but these pathways lead to different end products in the two kingdoms. In green plants the double bond system is extended toward the methyl end of the molecule to form linoleic and linolenic acids (9,12, lBoctadecatrienoic acid) (1,3,4). The ciliated protozoa, the amoebae, and some other animal...
متن کاملSpecific Inhibition of Chloroplast Replication in Euglena Gracilis by Nalidixic Acid
In Euglena gracilis the synthesis of the chloroplast from its precursor, the proplastid, is separated in time from the division or replication of the organelle which occurs just prior to cell division (10, 12). The proplastids are only found in darkgrown cells and rapidly form chloroplasts when such cells are exposed to light. The proplastids divide during dark growth. Ultraviolet irradiation i...
متن کاملEnzymatic desaturation of stearyl acyl carrier protein.
Stearyl acyl carrier protein, chemically prepared from 1-W stearic acid and Escherichia co2i acyl carrier protein, is desaturated to oleic acid by extracts of photoauxotrophic Euglena gracilis and of spinach. The soluble stearyl acyl carrier protein desaturase system from Eug~ena has been separated into three components, a reduced triphosphopyridine nucleotide oxidase, the desaturase, and a non...
متن کاملVariability of wax ester fermentation in natural and bleached Euglena gracilis Strains in response to oxygen and the elongase inhibitor flufenacet.
Euglena gracilis is able to synthesize adenosine triphosphate under anaerobic conditions through a malonyl-independent fatty acid synthesis leading to wax ester fermentation. Mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis uses acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA as C2- and C3-donors for de novo synthesis of even- and odd-numbered fatty acids, respectively. Euglena's wax ester fermentation has only been described ...
متن کاملDna-dependent Rna Synthesis in Chloroplasts of Euglena Gracilis
Isolated chloroplasts of Euglena gracilis have been shown to be capable of incorporating amino acids into protein (2). This incorporation is inhibited by actinomycin D, a fact which suggests that the chloroplasts might be capable of DNAdependent RNA synthesis. Such RNA synthesis is also indicated in a recent report (6) showing inhibition of chlorophyll synthesis by actinomycin. In conjunction w...
