چکیده

The respiratory components of tightly coupled mitochondria from the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger were studied. Cytochromes a + a(3), b, and c + c(1) were identified by difference spectra. The cytochrome spectra were qualitatively similar to yeast and rat liver mitochondria. The mitochondria contained, per gram of protein, an average of 2.9 and 7.0 mumoles of ubiquinone and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, respectively.

Oxidative phosphorylation and respiratory control in mitochondria from Aspergillus niger.

1. Tightly coupled mitochondria were isolated from Aspergillus niger by using an all-glass homogenizer followed by differential centrifugation. 2. The mitochondria oxidized the common intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, NADH(2) and the ascorbate-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine system. 3. High P/O ratios and control of respiration by ADP were obtained with all substrates tested. The av...

Antimicrobial Activity of Biocompatible Microemulsions Against Aspergillus niger and Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2

BACKGROUND Microemulsions (MEs), which consist of oil, water, surfactants, and cosurfactants, have recently generated considerable interest as antimicrobial agents. OBJECTIVES To determine the antifungal and antiviral activities of three ME formulations (MEa, MEb, and MEc) that differ in their hydrophilicity. METHODS The ME formulas were produced by mixing different fractions of Tween 80, S...

CD45 tyrosine phosphatase inhibitory components from Aspergillus niger.

Two inhibitors of CD45 tyrosine phosphatase, dihydrocarolic acid (1) and penitricin D (2), were isolated from a fermentation broth of the fungus Aspergillus niger and purified by HSCCC (high speed countercurrent chromatography) followed by HPLC. The structures were determined by NMR. The inhibitory activities of both compounds were specific to tyrosine phosphatases.

Occupational IgE sensitisation to phytase, a phosphatase derived from Aspergillus niger.

OBJECTIVE Phytase is a phosphatase derived from Aspergillus niger that enhances phosphate bioavailability in the gut, and therefore has been increasingly used as an animal feed additive since the early 1990s. The aim of this study was to assess whether work related respiratory symptoms among workers in a so called premix factory producing animal feed additives, could be due to type I (mediated ...
