The Active Site on the Phytotoxin of Corynebacterium sepedonicum.
Corynebacterium sepedonicum produces an extracellular phytotoxic glycopeptide that possesses a capacity to wilt plant cuttings. It has been previously demonstrated that the integrity of some of the membranes of the host cells is destroyed, suggesting the possibility that a biologically active site is present on the toxin molecule. The toxin was chemically altered in the following ways and then ...
متن کاملMode of Transmission of Corynebacterium insidiosum by Ditylenchus dipsaci.
Transmission of Corynebacterium insidiosum (McCull.) Jensen (cause of bacterial wilt in alfalfa) by the stem and bulb nematode Ditylenchus dipsaci (Kiihn) was demonstrated by Hawn (3) . Disease development in plants where D. dipsaci was the vector was comparable to that in the controls where wilt was induced by the root-ball soak method devised by Cormack, Peake and Downey (1) . Furthermore, th...
متن کاملA Phytotoxic Glycopeptide from Cultures of Corynebacterium insidiosum.
Cultures of Corynebacterium insidiosum produce an extra-cellular phytotoxic glycopeptide that possesses the ability to wilt plant cuttings. Wilt induced by this glycopeptide is directly dependent upon time and upon concentration with measureable wilt occurring in 40 nm solutions in 1 hour. The organism produces 1.3 grams toxin/liter of culture medium. The toxin was purified, and the physical, c...
متن کاملCell wall composition in Corynebacterium bovis and some other corynebacteria.
The cell wall compositions of two strains of Corynebacterium bovis were found to differ: one contained lysine, rhamnose, mannose, and glucose, the other meso-alpha, epsilon, diaminopimelic acid (DAP), arabinose, galactose, and mannose. The walls of a strain of C. nephridii were characterized by l-DAP and galactose. Those of a strain of C. paurometabolum and of two strains of "lipophilic diphthe...
