Over-production of porphyrins and heme in heterotrophic bacteria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Achromobacter metalcaligenes gamma-aminolevulinic acid synthase and gamma-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase appear to be the rate limiting enzymes of porphyrin and heme biosynthesis. Bypassing of these enzymes by addition of gamma-aminolevulinic acid or porphobilinogen results in overproduction of tetrapyrroles.

Surveying Denitrification Efficacy in Up-Flow Packed Bed Bioreactor Operated under Heterotrophic Condition Using Autotrophic Bacteria
Introduction: The biological denitrification process is an interesting cost-effective technique to remove nitrate from water supplies. Acetic acid can be used as a carbon source in this process, but its consumption rate is a critical issue and, in some cases, it is quite different from stoichiometric constants. The current study aimed to investigate the nitrate removal in an up-flow packed bed ...

Controlling the microbiological quality of water is important for its uses. Microbiological requirements of drinking water ensure the absence of coliforms, but may indicate the potential presence of other potentially pathogenic microorganisms and viruses of fecal origin. A total of 36 water samples, representing the drinking water of the whole city of Aradan, Semnan, Iran, were randomly collect...
