Metabolism of 3-methylindole by a methanogenic consortium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A methanogenic 3-methylindole (3-MI)-degrading consortium, enriched from wetland soil, completely mineralized 3-MI. Degradation proceeded through an initial hydroxylation reaction forming 3-methyloxindole. The consortium was unable to degrade oxindole or isatin, suggesting a new pathway for 3-MI fermentation.

Carboxylation of o-cresol by an anaerobic consortium under methanogenic conditions.
The metabolism of o-cresol under methanogenic conditions by an anaerobic consortium known to carboxylate phenol to benzoate was investigated. After incubation with the consortium at 29 degrees C for 59 days, o-cresol was transformed to 3-methylbenzoic acid, which was not further metabolized by the consortium. Proteose peptone in the culture medium was essential for the transformation of o-creso...
متن کاملUse of Fluorinated Compounds To Detect Aromatic Metabolites from m-Cresol in a Methanogenic Consortium: Evidence for a Demethylation Reaction.
Anaerobic sewage sludge was used to enrich a methanogenic m-cresol-degrading consortium. 6-Fluoro-3-methylphenol was synthesized and added to subcultures of the consortium with m-cresol. This caused the accumulation of 4-hydroxy-2-methylbenzoic acid. In a separate experiment, the addition of 3-fluorobenzoic acid caused the transient accumulation of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid. Inhibition with bromoet...
متن کاملIdentification of phase I metabolites of 3-methylindole produced by pig liver microsomes.
A study was conducted to investigate qualitative and quantitative aspects of the phase I metabolism of 3-methylindole (3MI) by porcine liver microsomes. Microsomal suspensions were prepared from the liver of 30 intact (uncastrated) male pigs. Metabolites produced in microsomal incubations were identified and quantitated with HPLC-UV, HPLC-fluorescence, and UV-spectral analysis; liquid chromatog...
متن کاملThe role of CYP2A and CYP2E1 in the metabolism of 3-methylindole in primary cultured porcine hepatocytes.
The accumulation of 3-methylindole (3MI) in uncastrated male pigs (boars) is a major cause of boar taint, which negatively affects the quality of meat from the animal. Previously, CYP2E1 and CYP2A have been identified as cytochrome P450 (P450) isoforms involved in the metabolism of 3MI using porcine liver microsomes. This study further examines the role of these isoforms in the metabolism of 3M...
متن کاملStudy of Diverse Methanogenic and Non-methanogenic Bacteria Used for the Enhancement of Biogas Production
To achieve a functioning and stable process with high methane production, it is important to create and maintain a beneficial environment for the activity of bacterial consortia of suitable species. Therefore, an experiment has been carried out to isolate methanogenic and nonmethanogenic bacteria from anaerobic biogas system. With this view, a microbial consortium and their relative performance...
