Yields of Hydrogenomonas eutropha from Growth
نویسنده
چکیده
Molar growth yields were determined from chemostat cultures of Hydrogenomonas eutropha on succinate and on fumarate. The yields from culture on succinate were about 12 g higher than on fumarate. Assuming this difference to be equivalent to 1 molecule of adenosine triphosphate, it is concluded that the oxidation by oxygen of the Hydrogenomonas cytochrome b yields 1 molecule of adenosine triphosphate.

متن کاملFactors affecting the synthesis and degradation of ribulose-1,5-diphosphate carboxylase in Hydrogenomonas facilis and Hydrogenomonas eutropha.
Hydrogenomonas facilis and H. eutropha cultured in fructose medium retained high levels of ribulose-1,5-diphosphate carboxylase only when the following conditions were fulfilled: low aeration, FeCl(3) addition to fructose medium, and cell harvest at or prior to mid-exponential phase of growth. Repression of carboxylase synthesis was demonstrated under conditions of high oxygen tension during gr...
متن کاملMixotrophic growth of Hydrogenomonas eutropha.
Mixotrophic growth conditions were established by the addition of lactate to cultures of Hydrogenomonas eutropha growing autotrophically in a gaseous environment of H(2), O(2), and CO(2) (6:2:1). The specific growth rate of mixotrophic cultures was double that of the autotrophic cultures, and lactate disappearance paralleled growth. Growth yields in mixotrophic cultures were significantly great...
متن کاملpH-conditional, ammonia assimilation-deficient mutants of Hydrogenomonas eutropha: evidence for the nature of the mutation.
Two amination-deficient mutants of Hydrogenomonas eutropha, characterized by pH-dependent linear growth on non-amino acid substrates, were investigated to determine the exact nature of the mutation. Glutamate dehydrogenase, the only aminating enzyme found in wild-type cells, was present at similar levels in mutant cells. Phenylalanine and aspartate, which allowed normal growth of the mutants, c...
متن کاملUtilization of amino acids as a source of nitrogen by Hydrogenomonas eutropha.
Relatively little has been published on the capacity of Hydrogenomonas to utilize amino acids under conditions supporting either autotrophic or heterotrophic growth. DeCicco and Umbreit (4) found that wild-type H. facilis utilizes either phenylalanine or tyrosine for growth with glucose as the main carbon and energy source. Atkinson (2) noted that H. facilis growing autotrophically in the prese...
