In many bacterial species, the glycine riboswitch is composed of two homologous ligand-binding domains (aptamers) that each bind glycine and act together to regulate the expression of glycine metabolic and transport genes. While the structure and molecular dynamics of the tandem glycine riboswitch have been the subject of numerous in vitro studies, the in vivo behavior of the riboswitch remains...

charcoal rot caused by macrophomina phaseolina is an injurious and economically important disease which causes heavy loss of yield to field and horticultural crops. thirty-three isolates of m. phaseolina were obtained from different host plants such as: soybean (glycine max.), melo (cucumis melo), bean (phaseolus vulgaris), pea (pisum sativum), pinus (pinus sp), blak-eyed susan (rudbeckia fulgi...

Accumulation of (14)C-labeled glycine and microelectrode techniques were employed to study glycine transport and the effect of glycine on the membrane potential (Deltapsi) in Lemna gibba G1. Evidence is presented that two processes, a passive uptake by diffusion and a carrier-mediated uptake, are involved in glycine transport into Lemna cells. At the onset of active glycine uptake the component...

The formation constants of the species formed in the systems fr + glycine + dioxovanadium(V) + and H+ + glycine have been determined in aqueous solutions of methanol at 25 °C and constant ionicstrength, using spectrophotometric and potentiometric techniques. It was shown thatdioxovanadium(V) forms two mononuclear 1 : land 1:2 complexes with glycine. The formationconstants in various media were ...

This research undertook the systematic analysis of the Klebsiella sp. D5A genome and identification of genes that contribute to plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits, especially genes related to salt tolerance and wide pH adaptability. The genome sequence of isolate D5A was obtained using an Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing system with average coverages of 174.7× and 200.1× using the paired-end and...

Two novel Gram-positive-staining, acidophilic strains were isolated from soil samples. Both show typical features of filamentous actinomycetes. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the strains are members of the family Micromonosporaceae. The two strains contain hydroxydiaminopimelic acid, glycine, alanine and glutamic acid in the peptidoglycan. Fatty acid profiles clearly different...

SCOPE The Soybean (Glycine max) leghemoglobin c2 (LegHb) gene was introduced into Pichia pastoris yeast for sustainable production of a heme-carrying protein, for organoleptic use in plant-based meat. The potential allergenicity and toxicity of LegHb and 17 Pichia host-proteins each representing ≥1% of total protein in production batches are evaluated by literature review, bioinformatics sequen...

Cytochrome P450 (CYP P450) enzymes are a superfamily of mono-oxygenases that are found in all kingdoms of life. The CYP P450 enzymes constitute a large superfamily of haem-thiolate proteins involved in the metabolism of a wide variety of both exogenous and endogenous compounds. The CYP activities have been shown to be involved in numerous interactions especially between drugs and herbal constit...

Two novel Gram-staining-positive bacteria, designated DCY60T and DCY90T, were isolated from soil of a ginseng field in the Republic of Korea. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons showed the two novel strains were closely related to members of the genus Humibacter with greatest similarity to Humibacter antri KCTC 33009T (98.8 and 98.4% for DCY60T and DCY90T, respectively). The predominant menaquin...
