Physiological studies of Bacillus subtilis minicells.
Minicells produced by Bacillus subtilis strains carrying the div IV-B1 mutation, (CU 403 div IV-B1 and CU 403 div IV-B1, tag-1), were purified by a procedure which destroys parental cells with ultrasound, but spares minicells. Such preparations generally contain 10(9) or more minicells/ml and less than 10(4) colony-forming units/ml. Purified minicells are resistant to autolysis in tris(hydroxym...
متن کاملChanges in menaquinone concentration during growth and early sporulation in Bacillus subtilis.
In two strains of Bacillus subtilis, menaquinone-7 has been shown to reach maximal cellular concentrations during early stationary phase. These concentration changes closely parallel the previously reported concentration changes in the cytochromes.
متن کاملMenaquinone and Iron Are Essential for Complex Colony Development in Bacillus subtilis
Cells of undomesticated species of Bacillus subtilis frequently form complex colonies during spreading on agar surfaces. Given that menaquinone is involved in another form of coordinated behavior, namely, sporulation, we looked for a possible role for menaquinone in complex colony development (CCD) in the B. subtilis strain NCIB 3610. Here we show that inhibition of menaquinone biosynthesis in ...
متن کاملAdvances in Menaquinone-7 Production by Bacillus Subtilis Natto: Fed-batch Glycerol Addition
Menaquinone-7 was produced by fermentation mainly using Bacillus subtilis species. Due to the low concentration of menaquinone-7 in fermentation processes and the associated expense of recovering the menaquinone-7, it was desirable to improve the fermentation concentration. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of fed-batch glycerol addition in the production of menaquinone-7 during...
متن کاملSalt stress adaptation of Bacillus subtilis: a physiological proteomics approach.
The adaptation to osmotic stress is crucial for growth and survival of Bacillus subtilis in its natural ecosystem. Dual channel imaging and warping of 2-D protein gels were used to visualize global changes in the protein synthesis pattern of cells in response to osmotic stress (6% NaCl). Many vegetative enzymes were repressed in response to salt stress and derepressed after resumption of growth...
