D-ornithine as a Constituent of a Bacterial Cell Wall.
نویسندگان
چکیده
“Variants” isolated from cultures of Bacillus subtilis 168 grown in a medium containing copper sulfate differ significantly from the parent organism in the cytosine-guanine content of their deoxyribonucleic acid (1). In an attempt to correlate these changes with a given phenotypic change, a study of the cell walls was undertaken. In the course of this work an organism designated 4G-SC was isolated, which is unusual in the composition of its cell wall. The present study is concerned mainly with the isolation and characterization of n-ornithine as a unique component of the mucopeptide of the cell wall of this organism.

متن کاملEffects of exogenous ornithine enantiomers on tobacco cells under salinity conditions
Ornithine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid, which plays an essential role in the metabolism of plants. Regard to the chirality of the molecule, physiological response of the plant cells to its two enantiomers have not been widely investigated yet. In the present study, suspension-cultured tobacco cells were treated with 1 mM of D- and Lenantiomers of ornithine in normal conditions as well as u...

Annulated pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine/pyrano[2,3-d]uracil derivatives were synthesized using aromatic aldehydes, active methylene compounds and barbituric acid in presence of dibutylamine (DBA) catalyst in ethanol as solvent. The different substituents on phenyl ring in the fused pyrano uracil skeleton showed productive influence on its antimicrobial activity against some gram positive and gram neg...
