Effect of Anaerobic Growth on Nitrate Reduction by Staphylococcus Epidermidis.
Jacobs, N. J. (American Meat Institute Foundation, Chicago, Ill.), J. Johantges, and R. H. Deibel. Effect of anaerobic growth on nitrate reduction by Staphylococcus epidermidis. J. Bacteriol. 85:782-787. 1963.-In anaerobic cultures, a strain of Staphylococcus epidermidis failed to reduce nitrate, although nitrate was reduced in stationary cultures grown in the presence of air. Resting suspensio...
متن کاملCharacterization of a Nitrate Reductase from the Chemoautotroph Nitrobacter agiZis*
The energy thus liberated is used in part for the assimilation of carbon dioxide which serves as the sole carbon source for growth. Studies of the biochemistry of Nitrobacter agilis have been mainly limited by the difficulty in obtaining large yields of cells, as has been the case with many of the chemoautotrophs. There has consequently been a relat.ively slow advancement of biochemical researc...
متن کاملNitrite oxidase and nitrate reductase in Nitrobacter agilis.
Nitrite oxidase and nitrate reductase in Nitrobacter agilis were shown to be separate enzymes. The best separation of the two systems was achieved by ammonium sulphate fractionation. The effects of various compounds, including antimycin A, 2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline N-oxide and chlorate, also clearly distinguish between the two enzyme reactions. The relationship between the two opposing reac...
متن کاملNitrate Storage and Dissimilatory Nitrate Reduction by Eukaryotic Microbes
The microbial nitrogen cycle is one of the most complex and environmentally important element cycles on Earth and has long been thought to be mediated exclusively by prokaryotic microbes. Rather recently, it was discovered that certain eukaryotic microbes are able to store nitrate intracellularly and use it for dissimilatory nitrate reduction in the absence of oxygen. The paradigm shift that th...
متن کاملNitrate reduction and the growth of Veillonella alcalescens.
Veillonella alcalescens, a strict anaerobe, was found to possess a nitrate reductase system which has characteristics of both assimilatory and respiratory nitrate reduction. The nitrate reductase has been identified tentatively as a particulate enzyme which utilizes a variety of electron donors for the reduction of nitrate. By use of (15)N-labeled nitrate, it was shown that under appropriate co...
