Amino acid composition of certain bacterial cell-wall proteins.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Analyses were made to determine the amino acid composition of the cell-wall proteins of Salmonella pullorum, S. senftenberg 775W, S. derby, and Escherichia coli. These proteins consist of the usual 18 amino acids found in most proteins with diaminopimelic acid in addition. Quantitative determination of these amino acids showed that their amounts were similar.

Changes of major wall polysaccharides and glycoproteins of tobacco cells in response to excess boron
Effects of excess concentrations of boron on major cell wall components of tobacco cells(Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Burley 21) were studied. Pectin, xyloglucan, hydroxyproline-richglycoproteins (extensin), and arabinogalactan proteins were characterized. Results showedthat increased boron supply resulted in significant decrease in cell and cell wall dry weights.Also, high concentrations of boron ...
متن کاملCell wall composition of lactic acid bacteria.
After the discovery of methods for the isolation of bacterial cell walls (l), it was established that walls of gram-positive organisms contain relatively few amino acids. The most frequently occurring and abundant of these are alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, and diaminopimelic acid. Walls of grampositive organisms also contain large amounts of sugars and amino sugars and are rela...

متن کاملProteins in the digesta of the pig: amino acid composition of endogenous, bacterial and fecal fractions.
When studying digestibility, the respective parts of the exogenous, endogenous and bacterial fractions in the digesta or feces must be measured. The proportions of proteins from different sources may be estimated by comparing their amino acid composition with those of reference sources. This study describes the composition of endogenous and microbial proteins, i.e. meconium of piglet small inte...
متن کاملMycoplasma and bacterial proteins resembling contractile proteins: a review.
The basis of gliding motility in prokaryotes including certain mycoplasmas and the ability of mycoplasmas to retain their characteristic cell shapes in the absence of a supporting cell wall is unexplained. This review examines the available studies describing proteins resembling contractile proteins and cytoskeletal proteins in prokaryotes. Proteins with a significant degree of amino acid seque...
