Partial hydrolysis of dieldrin by Aerobacter aerogenes.

The fermentation of sucrose by Aerobacter aerogenes.

Physiology of nitrogen fixation by Aerobacter aerogenes.

Skinner (1928) tested 23 strains of Bacteriumn aerogenes (Aerobacter aerogenes) and reported that two, and possibly a third, assimilated gaseous nitrogen when cultured in liquid medium, a claim confirmed 27 years later by Hamilton and Wilson (1955) using the N" isotopic method. Their experiments indicated that A. aerogenes incorporated significant amounts of tracer and that anaerobically, in a ...

Biosynthesis in Aerobacter aerogenes

Two pathways for methionine methyl formation, one cobalamindependent and one cobalamin-independent, corresponding to those observed in Escherichia coli PA 15 have been found in Aerobacter aerogenes. An initial difficulty in showing the cobalamin-dependent pathway in cellfree extracts proved to be due to the presence of enzymes which caused the removal of adenosylmethionine, a cofactor required ...

The Degradation of Histidine by Aerobacter Aerogenes* by Boris Magasanik

In the course of the studies presented in the preceding paper it was observed that Aerobacter aerogenes could grow on histidine as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen (1). The nature of the microbial enzymes responsible for the complete degradation of histidine was not known and appeared therefore to be an appropriate subject for investigation. After initiation of these studies, the results ...

The differentiation of Aerobacter aerogenes and Aerobacter cloacae.

Many attempts, based on biochemical properties, have been made to differentiate strains of the tribe Eschericheae-a biochemically heterogeneous collection of the Enterobacteriaceae-into genera. In the sixth edition of Bergey's Manual (Breed et al., 1948), these strains, if of animal origin, are classified into three genera: Escherichia, Aerobacter, and Klebsiella. The genus Aerobacter is subdiv...
