Biosynthesis of biotin from dethiobiotin by the biotin auxotroph Lactobacillus plantarum.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lactobacillus plantarum requires biotin for growth. We show that in the presence of high levels of the biotin biosynthetic precursor, dethiobiotin, L. plantarum synthesizes biotin and grows in medium with dethiobiotin but without biotin. Lactobacillus casei also grew under similar conditions.

Arrested Embryos from the bio1 Auxotroph of Arabidopsis thaliana Contain Reduced Levels of Biotin.
The bio1 auxotroph of Arabidopsis thaliana is a recessive embryonic lethal that forms normal plants in the presence of biotin. The purpose of this study was to determine whether aborted seeds produced by heterozygous plants grown without vitamin supplements contained reduced levels of biotin. Two methods were used to determine the biotin content of mutant and wild-type tissues: streptavidin bin...
متن کاملDethiobiotin Synthesis from 7,8=Diaminopelargonic Acid in Cell-free Extracts of a Biotin Auxotroph
Dethiobiotin synthesis from 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid was demonstrated in cell-free extracts of Escherichia coli bioA mutants. The biosynthetically formed dethiobiotin was identified by its avidin combinability, by various chromatographic techniques, and by its differential growth response for several biotin auxotrophs. Requirements for the reaction include bicarbonate, ATP, and Mg2+, as well ...
متن کاملIncreased sensitivity of the microbiological assay for biotin by Lactobacillus plantarum.
Addition of Tween 80 to biotin assay medium containing acid-hydrolyzed casein as the amino acid source caused marked growth of Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014 in the absence of added biotin. This growth-promoting activity could be eliminated by treating the "vitamin-free" Casamino Acids (Difco) with activated charcoal (Darco G-60) at pH 3.5 for 30 to 60 min. Incorporation of Tween 80 and char...

متن کاملBiotin biosynthetic enzymes and the metabolic control of biotin biosynthesis
Biotin is a vital cofactor for many enzymes that facilitate carboxylation, decarboxylation, and transcarboxylation reactions. The biotin biosynthetic network has been well characterized in many microorganisms including E.coli (Eisenberg, 1973), but only recently have the genetic and biochemical components of the Arabidopsis biotin biosynthetic enzymes been discovered. Previous studies (Muralla ...
