Bacterial Metabolism
Carbohydrat,es are fermented by Clostridium acetobutylicum and related microorganisms with the formation of acetic acid, n-butyric acid, acetone, ethanol, and n-butanol. It has been conclusively proved that the butanol arises by the reduction of the butyric acid (1, 2). As yet, however, there is no exact information as to the sequence of reactions by which butyric acid is formed from glucose by...
متن کاملBacterial morphology: why have different shapes?
The fact that bacteria have different shapes is not surprising; after all, we teach the concept early and often and use it in identification and classification. However, why bacteria should have a particular shape is a question that receives much less attention. The answer is that morphology is just another way microorganisms cope with their environment, another tool for gaining a competitive a...
متن کاملNest Material Shapes Eggs Bacterial Environment.
Selective pressures imposed by pathogenic microorganisms to embryos have selected in hosts for a battery of antimicrobial lines of defenses that includes physical and chemical barriers. Due to the antimicrobial properties of volatile compounds of green plants and of chemicals of feather degrading bacteria, the use of aromatic plants and feathers for nest building has been suggested as one of th...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation shapes the organization of genes on bacterial chromosomes
Transcription factors (TFs) are the key elements responsible for controlling the expression of genes in bacterial genomes and when visualized on a genomic scale form a dense network of transcriptional interactions among themselves and with other protein coding genes. Although the structure of transcriptional regulatory networks (TRNs) is well understood, it is not clear what constrains govern t...
متن کاملBacterial Accumulation at the Air-Water Interface
Accumulation at the air-water interface of four bacterial strains with different hydrophobicities was studied. To exclude system influences, both a static batch system and a dynamic system involving rising bubbles were used. All bacteria accumulated at the air-water interface in both systems. Generally, attachment to the air-water interface increased with bacterial surface hydrophobicity. Accum...
