Succinic Acid Degradation by Veillonella Alcalescens.

چکیده
samples were thus obtained for subsequent anaerobic assay with P. cereviseae. Typical assay results are indicated in Fig. 2. There is a marked increase in P. cereviseae activity caused by incubation of C. sporogenes with folic acid as compared with the corresponding nonincubated system. This activity could not be attributed to endogenous cell activity, and was not due to the utilization of arylamines from folic acid degradation because the synthesis of P. cereviseae activity by the system containing sulfathiazole was not inhibited.

متن کاملNitrate reduction and the growth of Veillonella alcalescens.
Veillonella alcalescens, a strict anaerobe, was found to possess a nitrate reductase system which has characteristics of both assimilatory and respiratory nitrate reduction. The nitrate reductase has been identified tentatively as a particulate enzyme which utilizes a variety of electron donors for the reduction of nitrate. By use of (15)N-labeled nitrate, it was shown that under appropriate co...

متن کاملRibose utilization by Veillonella alcalescens.
The utilization of ribose by Veillonella alcalescens has been further investigated. Nonfermentation of ribose is not a result of a phosphorylation lesion since ribose-phosphorylating activity was measured in cell extracts. Resting cells accumulated ribose-5-phosphate and nucleotides when (14)C-ribose was provided; no other sugar phosphates were detectable. Resting cells that were shifted to gro...

Volatile fatty acid (VFA) productions from lactose and lactate by a Clostridium butyricum and a Veillonella alcalescens strain, alone or in combination with a Lactobacillus acidophilus strain, were determined both in vitro in culture media and in vivo in the ceca of gnotobiotic animals. Gnotobiotic rats, which possess intestinal lactase, and chickens, which are devoid of it, were used. Both ani...
