Metabolic Studies of Azotobacter Agilis by the Use of a Mutant Deficient in Pyruvic Oxidase*
نویسنده
چکیده
An account has been given elsewhere of the successful isolation of physiological x-ray mutants of Azotobacter agilis with genetic blocks in the substrate oxidation mechanisms (1). The present paper deals in greater detail with a mutant strain, designated A13, that was isolated as a variant unable to grow on glucose, and gives the methods used to characterize the particular deficiency responsible for this alteration.

Isolation and Characterization of a New Peroxisome Deficient CHO Mutant Cell Belonging to Complementation Group 12
We searched for novel Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutants defective in peroxisome biogenesis by an improved method using peroxisome targeting sequence (PTS) of Pex3p (amino acid residues 1–40)-fused enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). From mutagenized TKaEG3(1–40) cells, the wild-type CHO-K1 stably expressing rat Pex2p and of rat Pex3p(1–40)-EGFP, numerous cell colonies resistant to...
متن کاملTetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine oxidase reaction in Azotobacter vinelandii.
It was possible to quantitate the tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) oxidase reaction in Azotobacter vinelandii strain O using turbidimetrically standarized resting cell suspensions. The Q(O2) value obtained for whole cell oxidation of ascorbate-TMPD appeared to reflect the full measure of the high respiratory oxidative capability usually exhibited by this genera of organisms. The Q(O2) valu...

Abstract Thioredoxins are invoved in redox regulation of many cellular processes. In this study the role of NADP+-Thioredoxin reductase C (NTRC) in the control of leaf senescence was investigated by biochemical characterization of Arabidopsis ntrc mutants. Forty days old wild type and two ntrc mutant lines were incubated either under normal dark-light or continous darkness regimes for 6 days as...
متن کاملEffects of Magnesium Concentrations on in Vitro CO(2) Fixing Reactions.
Since more MAIg than is necessary for chelation of substrates is required for maximum activity in in vitro CO. fixing reactions (1, 4, 6), we undertook studies to elucidate possible interactions of Mg with components of two systems that fix CO,. Johnson and Johnson (5) reported that one value of additional MIg was to protect the enzyme, inorganic pyrophosphatase. obtained from Azotobacter agili...
