Factors affecting lactate and malate utilization by Selenomonas ruminantium.
Lactate utilization by Selenomonas ruminantium is stimulated in the presence of malate. Because little information is available describing lactate-plus-malate utilization by this organism, the objective of this study was to evaluate factors affecting utilization of these two organic acids by two strains of S. ruminantium. When S. ruminantium HD4 and H18 were grown in batch culture on DL-lactate...
متن کاملCharacterization of lateral flagella of Selenomonas ruminantium.
Selenomonas ruminantium produces a tuft of flagella near the midpoint of the cell body and swims by rotating the cell body along the cell's long axis. The flagellum is composed of a single kind of flagellin, which is heavily glycosylated. The hook length of S. ruminantium is almost double that of Salmonella.
متن کاملAmmonia assimilation and glutamate formation in the anaerobe Selenomonas ruminantium.
Selenomonas ruminantium was found to possess two pathways for NH4+ assimilation that resulted in net glutamate synthesis. One pathway fixed NH4+ through the action of an NADPH-linked glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH). Maximal GDH activity required KCl (about 0.48 M), but a variety of monovalent salts could replace KCl. Complete substrate saturation of the enzyme by NH4+ did not occur, and apparent ...
متن کاملRelationship of lactate dehydrogenase specificity and growth rate to lactate metabolism by Selenomonas ruminantium.
A lactate-fermenting strain of Selenomonas ruminantium (HD4) and a lactatenonfermenting strain (GA192) were examined with respect to the stereoisomers of lactate formed during glucose fermentation, the stereoisomers of lactate fermented by HD4, and the characteristics of the lactate dehydrogenases of the strains. GA192 formed L-lactate and HD4 formed L-lactate and small amounts of D-lactate fro...
متن کاملMultiple lactate dehydrogenase activities of the rumen bacterium Selenomonas ruminantium.
The lactate utilizing strain of Selenomonas ruminantium 5934e was found to contain three lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities in sonicated cell extracts. One activity, an NAD dependent L-LDH (L-nLDH) was measured at 15-fold greater levels in extracts of cells grown to mid-exponential phase on glucose compared to cells grown to the equivalent growth stage on DL-lactate. A second nLDH activity ...
