Teichoic acid synthesis in Bacillus stearothermophilus.
1. Particulate enzyme preparations obtained from Bacillus stearothermophilus B65 by digestion with lysozyme were shown to catalyse teichoic acid synthesis. With CDP-glycerol as sole substrate the preparations synthesized 1,3-poly(glycerol phosphate). It was characterized by alkaline hydrolysis, by glucosylation to the alkali-stable 2-glucosyl-1,3-poly(glycerol phosphate) with excess of UDP-gluc...
متن کاملThe glycerol teichoic acid from the cell wall of Bacillus stearothermophilus B65.
1. A glycerol teichoic acid has been extracted from cell walls of Bacillus stearothermophilus B65 and its structure examined. 2. Trichloroacetic acid-extractable teichoic acid accounted for 68% of the total cell-wall phosphorus and residual material could be hydrolysed to a mixture of products including those characteristic of glycerol teichoic acids. 3. The extracted polymer is composed of gly...
متن کاملTransduction in Bacillus stearothermophilus.
Temperate and virulent bacteriophages isolated from soil were shown to carry out generalized transduction of Bacillus stearothermophilus NUB36. A transducing frequency of 1 X 10(-5) to 7 X 10(-4) was obtained for temperate phages TP-42 and TP-56. The transducing frequency for virulent phage TP-68 was two to three orders of magnitude lower. Cotransfer analysis with the three phages showed that h...
متن کاملTemperature-induced protein synthesis in Bacillus stearothermophilus NUB36.
Cultures of Bacillus stearothermophilus subjected to a temperature shift-up or shift-down of 15 degrees C within the normal temperature range of growth (45 to 65 degrees C) enter a transient adaptation period before exponential growth at the new temperature. The de novo synthesis of some proteins coincides with the adaptation period.
متن کاملBiosynthesis of the wall teichoic acid in Bacillus licheniformis.
1. The biosynthesis of the wall teichoic acid, poly(glycerol phosphate glucose), has been studied with a particulate membrane preparation from Bacillus licheniformis A.T.C.C. 9945. The precursor CDP-glycerol supplies glycerol phosphate residues, whereas UDP-glucose supplies only glucose to the repeating structure of the polymer. 2. Synthesis proceeds through polyprenol phosphate derivatives, an...
