Strain SYl

چکیده
Strain SY1, identified as a Corynebacterium sp., was isolated on the basis of the ability to utilize dibenzothiophene (DBT) as a sole source of sulfur. Strain SY1 could utilize a wide range of organic and inorganic sulfur compounds, such as DBT sulfone, dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethyl sulfone, CS2, FeS2, and even elemental sulfur. Strain SY1 metabolized DBT to dibenzothiophene-5-oxide, DBT sulfone, and 2-hydroxybiphenyl, which was subsequently nitrated to produce at least two different hydroxynitrobiphenyls during cultivation. These metabolites were separated by silica gel column chromatography and identified by nuclear magnetic resonance, UV, and mass spectral techniques. Resting cells of SY1 desulfurized toluenesulfonic acid and released sulfite anion. On the basis of these results, a new DBT degradation pathway is proposed.

Production of proteasome inhibitor syringolin A by the endophyte Rhizobium sp. strain AP16.
Syringolin A, the product of a mixed nonribosomal peptide synthetase/polyketide synthase encoded by the syl gene cluster, is a virulence factor secreted by certain Pseudomonas syringae strains. Together with the glidobactins produced by a number of beta- and gammaproteobacterial human and animal pathogens, it belongs to the syrbactins, a structurally novel class of proteasome inhibitors. In pla...
متن کاملThe effects of temporal acceleration and deceleration on AV speech perception
Modern signal processing techniques make it possible to speed up or slow down the apparent speaking rate of an audio-visual (AV) speech stimulus, but little is known about the effect this processing might have on the intelligibility of AV speech signals. In this experiment, AV recordings of phrases from the Modified Rhyme Test (MRT) were accelerated or decelerated by first changing the duration...

PURPOSE To analyze the risk factors for postoperative lymphocele, for predicting and preventing complications. METHODS We evaluated 92 kidney transplant recipients with multidetector CT (MDCT) at 1-month posttransplantation. From admission and 1-month postoperative records, data including diabetes, dialysis type, immunosuppressant use, steroid pulse therapy, and transplantation side were coll...
متن کاملMacrophages Promote Oxidative Metabolism To Drive Nitric Oxide Generation in Response to Trypanosoma cruzi.
Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of chronic chagasic cardiomyopathy. Why macrophages (mφs), the early responders to infection, fail to achieve parasite clearance is not known. Mouse (RAW 264.7) and human (THP-1 and primary) mφs were infected for 3 h and 18 h with T. cruzi TcI isolates, SylvioX10/4 (SYL, virulent) and TCC (nonpathogenic), which represent mφ stimulation and infection stat...
متن کاملBoundaries and Tonal articulation in Taiwanese Min
This study investigates the effect of the boundary on Taiwanese falling tones at domain final and domain initial positions across intonational phrase (IP), tone group (TG), word (WRD) and syllable (SYL)boundaries. The boundaries occurred at the same position within sentences produced with broad focus. The results showed that for falling tones at domain-final position, the f0 fall decreased slow...
