The model of T4 phage, Lambda and E. coli is often used in research on virus-host interactions. This paper reports for the first time thermodynamic driving force biosynthesis, catabolism metabolism three organisms, M9 medium. Moreover, influence activities nutrients metabolic products analyzed. All organisms were found to have very similar Gibbs energies metabolism. since they share same catabo...

BACKGROUND The contribution of liver glycogen catabolism to hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance induced by pharmacological hypercortisolism were investigated. METHODS For this purpose, adult male Wistar rats that received 1.0 mg/kg dexamethasone (DEX) ip at 8:00 a.m. (DEX group) or saline (CON group) once a day for 5 consecutive days were compared. RESULTS Experimental hypercortisolism wa...

Plants emit a diverse array of phytogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The production and emission of VOCs has been an important area of research for decades. However, recent research has revealed the importance of VOC catabolism by plants and VOC degradation in the atmosphere for plant growth and survival. Specifically, VOC catabolism and degradation have implications for plant C balance...

In Sinorhizobium meliloti the mocCABR genes have previously been shown to be required for rhizopine (3-O-methyl-scyllo-inosamine, 3-O-MSI) catabolism. We show that the mocDE(F) gene cluster is also needed. MocDE(F), which is involved in the catabolism of 3-O-MSI to its demethylated form scyllo-inosamine (SI) has homology to components that would comprise a ferredoxin-oxygenase system. The mocCA...

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 ...
