Zeaxanthin and menaquinone-7 biosynthesis in Sphingobacterium multivorum via the methylerythritol phosphate pathway.

چکیده
Feeding of [1-(13)C]glucose, [U-(13)C(6)]glucose, [3-(13)C]alanine and [1-(13)C]acetate to Sphingobacterium multivorum showed that this bacterium utilizes the methylerythritol phosphate pathway for the biosynthesis of menaquinone-7 and zeaxanthin, a carotenoid of industrial importance. Differential incorporation of the labeled precursors gave some insight into the preferred carbon sources involved in isoprenoid biosynthesis.

A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, motile, short-rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain THG-SQA8(T), was isolated from rhizosphere soil of rose in PR China. Strain THG-SQA8(T) was closely related to members of the genus Sphingobacterium, showed the highest sequence similarities with Sphingobacterium multivorum KACC 14105(T) (98.0%) and Sphingobacterium ginsenosidimutans KACC 14526(T) (97...

Serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) is a key enzyme in sphingolipid biosynthesis and catalyzes the decarboxylative condensation of l-serine and palmitoyl coenzyme A (CoA) to form 3-ketodihydrosphingosine (KDS). Eukaryotic SPTs comprise tightly membrane-associated heterodimers belonging to the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent alpha-oxamine synthase family. Sphingomonas paucimobilis, a sphing...

INTRODUCTION Sphingobacterium multivorum is a Gram-negative, nonfermentative bacillus that rarely causes disease in humans. In the medical literature, only a few cases of infections caused by this organism have been reported. Almost all the reported cases of this infection were associated with conditions that decrease immunity. CASE PRESENTATION To the best of our knowledge, we are reporting ...

We describe the case of a 67-year-old African American woman with multiple medical problems who presented with septic shock resulting from Sphingobacterium multivorum bacteraemia. S. multivorum, a Gram-negative bacillus, is ubiquitous in nature and is rarely involved in human infections. However, it is intrinsically resistant to many commonly administered antibiotics and can be a life-threateni...
