Isolation, Purification and Estimation of Zeatin from Corynebacterium aurimucosum
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plant pathogenic organisms are known to affect plants by secreting enzymes, toxic compounds and phytohormones (IAA, KIN, GA, Zeatin and ABA). In the present study, bacteria were isolated from infected Prunus salicina. It was identified by biochemical tests and rDNA sequencing. It was studied for production of zeatin, a phytohormone known to influence plant growth and development. Conditions for zeatin production were optimized and after 10 days of incubation zeatin was extracted from the broth. The extract was subjected to isolation of zeatin using TLC. The further purification of zeatin was performed using HPLC and tested by immunoassay.

Isolation of cis-Zeatin from Corynebacterium fascians Cultures.
Three cytokinin-active constituents have been isolated from the culture medium of Corynebacterium fascians, a plant pathogen causing fasciation. One constituent is now identified as cis-zeatin [6-(4-hydroxy-3-methyl-cis-2-butenylamino)purine]. It represents the first unequivocal demonstration of the production of a zeatin isomer by a bacterial species. Another constituent was identified earlier...

INTRODUCTION Corynebacteria have an important place among the commensal flora of the skin and mucous membranes. Except for Corynebacterium diphtheriae, they were once considered contaminants of mucosa. Recent publications in medical bacteriology have highlighted the importance of several species, such as C. aurimucosum. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first isolation of this strain ...
متن کاملRevised Methods for Purification of Ribosyl-trans-zeatin from Vinca rosea L. Crown Gall Tumor Tissue.
Ribosyl-trans-zeatin has been purified from Vinca rosea L. crown gall tumor tissue by using two new sequences of isolation procedures. Identification of the compound has been established by mass spectrometry, ultraviolet absorbancy spectra, chromatographic values, and growth activity. The isolation sequences eliminate the exposures to pH extremes and the strong cation-exchange resin used in the...
متن کاملIsolation and partial purification of an enzyme catalyzing the formation of O-xylosylzeatin in Phaseolus vulgaris embryos.
An enzyme catalyzing the formation of a cytokinin metabolite, an O-pentosyl derivative of zeatin [Lee, Y. H., Mok, M. C., Mok, D. W. S., Griffin, D. A. & Shaw, G. (1985) Plant Physiol. 77, 635-641], was isolated from Phaseolus vulgaris embryos. Of all the potential pentose donors tested, UDP-xylose was the only substrate recognized by the enzyme. This indicates that the O-pentosyl derivatives p...
