Regulation of the arginine dihydrolase pathway in Clostridium sporogenes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Arginine deiminase activity was induced during the vegetative growth of Clostridium sporogenes. The enzyme was sensitive to catabolite repression. The other enzymes of the arginine dihydrolase pathway, namely, ornithine carbamoyl-transferase and carbamate kinase, did not show such variation.

متن کاملThe physiology of Clostridium sporogenes NCIB 8053 growing in defined media.
The physiology of Clostridium sporogenes was investigated in defined, minimal media. In batch culture, the major end products of glucose dissimilation were acetate, ethanol and formate. When L-proline was present as an electron acceptor, acetate production was strongly enhanced at the expense of ethanol. As judged by assay of the relevant enzymes, glucose was metabolized via the Embden-Meyerhof...

Clostridium sporogenes is a food contaminating anaerobic bacteria causes late bowing effect in cheeses and spoilages in other dairy products. A total of 150 samples were studied for the presence of Clostridium sporogenes in raw milk, curd and cheese samples. Out of 150 sample 11(22%) Clostridium sporogenes was found in raw milk, 7(14%) in curd and 2(4%) in cheese samples. The study shows the ex...
متن کاملThe formation of arginine dihydrolase by streptococci and some properties of the enzyme system.
The lack of any breakdown of urea under the experimental conditions led to the conclusion that urease was not present in streptococci and that urea could not be an intermediate in the reaction. Thus it seems likely that the formation of ornithine from arginine by these bacteria occurred by a pathway different from that possessed by arginase of mammalian liver. Niven et al. (1942) tested the abi...
متن کاملArginine catabolism and the arginine succinyltransferase pathway in Escherichia coli.
Arginine catabolism produces ammonia without transferring nitrogen to another compound, yet the only known pathway of arginine catabolism in Escherichia coli (through arginine decarboxylase) does not produce ammonia. Our aims were to find the ammonia-producing pathway of arginine catabolism in E. coli and to examine its function. We showed that the only previously described pathway of arginine ...
