Simple filter paper procedure for estimation of glucose uptake via group translocation by whole-cell suspensions of bacteria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple and rapid filter paper technique is described for processing samples from glucose uptake studies with whole cells of gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria that transport glucose via group translocation. The procedure yields results equivalent to those obtained with a conventional membrane filtration method and requires no special filtration equipment or source of vacuum.

متن کاملGlucose metabolism and kinetics of phosphorus removal by the fermentative bacterium Microlunatus phosphovorus.
Phosphorus and carbon metabolism in Microlunatus phosphovorus was investigated by using a batch reactor to study the kinetics of uptake and release of extracellular compounds, in combination with (31)P and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to characterize intracellular pools and to trace the fate of carbon substrates through the anaerobic and aerobic cycles. The organism was subjected to r...
