The function of cytoplasmic flavin reductases in the reduction of azo dyes by bacteria.
A flavin reductase, which is naturally part of the ribonucleotide reductase complex of Escherichia coli, acted in cell extracts of recombinant E. coli strains under aerobic and anaerobic conditions as an "azo reductase." The transfer of the recombinant plasmid, which resulted in the constitutive expression of high levels of activity of the flavin reductase, increased the reduction rate for diff...
متن کاملReduction of polymeric azo and nitro dyes by intestinal bacteria.
The O(2)-sensitive reduction of high-molecular-weight aromatic azo and nitro dyes by intestinal bacteria appears to be mediated by low-molecular-weight electron carriers with E(o)' = -200 to -350 mV. This process may allow the design of polymeric azo prodrugs for specific release of certain aromatic amines in the colon.
متن کاملA new restriction endonuclease from Citrobacter freundii.
CfrI, a new restriction endonuclease of unique substrate specificity, has been isolated from a Citrobacterfreundii strain. The enzyme recognizes a degenerated sequence PyGGCCPu in double-strand DNA and cleaves it between Py and G residues to yield 5' -protruding tetranucleotide ends GGCC.
متن کاملInteraction of cefpirome and a cephalosporinase from Citrobacter freundii GN7391.
The interaction of cefpirome and a cephalosporinase from Citrobacter freundii, including hydrolysis and inhibition, was studied in comparison with those of cefotiam, cefotaxime, and ceftazidime. Cefpirome was hydrolyzed by the enzyme more rapidly at Vmax than were cefotaxime and ceftazidime. However, the low affinity of the enzyme for cefpirome caused a reduction in the hydrolytic rate of cefpi...
متن کاملGenetic Characterization of Atypical Citrobacter freundii
The ability of a bacterial population to survive in different niches, as well as in stressful and rapidly changing environmental conditions, depends greatly on its genetic content. To survive such fluctuating conditions, bacteria have evolved different mechanisms to modulate phenotypic variations and related strategies to produce high levels of genetic diversity. Laboratories working in microbi...
