Bacillus sp., Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Vagococcus sp., and Pediococcus sp. were isolated from fermented vegetables. All the four isolates produced bacteriocin and they have showed antibacterial activity against E. coli, B. subtilis and K. pneumoniae. Bacteriocin was stable at various temperature and pH. But it was sensitive to enzymes such as α amylase, lipase and pepsin and also affected by ...

The pathways for degradation of 6-phosphogluconate have been rather clearly defined for several organisms, the most notable of which are yeast (Horecker, 1953), Escherichia coli (Cohen, 1951), Pseudomonas saccharophila (Entner and Doudoroff, 1952; MacGee and Doudoroff, 1954), and Pseudomonas fluorescens (Kovachevich and Wood, 1954). The enzymes from yeast and E. coli appear to be similar, if no...

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase from Zeuconostoc mesenteroides, previously isolated in crystalline form (Olive, C., and Levy, H. R., Biochemistry, 6, 730 (1967)), is shown to be essentially homogeneous by disc gel electrophoresis and sedimentation velocity analysis. The weight average molecular weight is 103,700, determined by both high speed and low speed sedimentation equilibrium techniques...
