Enzymes of the Poly-beta-Hydroxybutyrate and Citric Acid Cycles of Rhizobium japonicum Bacteroids.
The activities of several enzymes of the citric acid and poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate cycles were measured in Rhizobium japonicum 3I1B-143 bacteroids which had been isolated from soybean nodules by sucrose gradient centrifugation. During the period of developing nitrogenase activity, the specific activity of fumarase, hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, beta-ketothiolase, and pyruvate dehydrogenase com...
متن کاملSoluble aldehyde dehydrogenase and metabolism of aldehydes by soybean bacteroids.
A soluble aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.3) was partially purified from Rhizobium japonicum bacteroids and from free-living R. japonicum 61A76. The enzyme was activated by NAD+, NADH, and dithiothreitol, and it reduced NAD(P)+. Acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, benzaldehyde, and succinic semialdehyde were substrates. The Km for straight-chain aldehydes decreased with increasing ca...
متن کاملAnalysis of Poly-beta-Hydroxybutyrate in Rhizobium japonicum Bacteroids by Ion-Exclusion High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography and UV Detection.
Ion-exclusion high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to measure poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) in Rhizobium japonicum bacteroids. The products in the acid digest of PHB-containing material were fractionated by HPLC on Aminex HPX-87H ion-exclusion resin for organic acid analysis. Crotonic acid formed from PHB during acid digestion was detected by its intense absorbance at 210 nm. T...
متن کاملCarbon Metabolism Enzymes of Rhizobium tropici Cultures and Bacteroids.
We determined the activities of selected enzymes involved in carbon metabolism in free-living cells of Rhizobium tropici CFN299 grown in minimal medium with different carbon sources and in bacteroids of the same strain. The set of enzymatic activities in sucrose-grown cells suggests that the pentose phosphate pathway, with the participation of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway, is probably the prima...
متن کاملPoly-beta-hydroxybutyrate metabolism during growth and sporulation of Clostridium botulinum.
The granules observed in the cytoplasm of cells of sporogenic and asporogenic strains of Clostridium botulinum type E were isolated at various developmental stages of growth and sporulation. Electron microscopy of thin sections showed that most of the granules were dispersed throughout the cytoplasm. Chemical analysis and electron microscopy showed that the granules were poly-beta-hydroxybutyra...
