A total of 13 Pasteurellaceae isolates from healthy freshwater turtles were characterized by genotypic and phenotypic tests. Phylogenetic analysis of partial 16S rRNA and rpoB gene sequences showed that the isolates investigated formed a monophyletic group. The closest related species based on 16S
A total of 27 bacterial isolates from California sea lions and a walrus tentatively classified within the family Pasteurellaceae was further characterized by genotypic and phenotypic tests. Phylogenetic analysis of partial 16S rRNA and rpoB gene sequences showed that the isolates investigated formed
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis represents an underexploited target pathway for novel antimicrobial development to combat the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. A key player in LPS synthesis is the enzyme D-arabinose-5-phosphate isomerase (API), which catalyzes the reversible
A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore forming and non-motile bacterium, designated strain NUM 1720(T) , was isolated from the oral cavity of bears. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain NUM 1720(T) was shown to be related to Gibbsiella quercinecans (99.4%). The gyrB and rpoB gene
Loesche, W. J. (Forsyth Dental Center and Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, Mass.), S. S. Socransky, and R. J. Gibbons. Bacteroides oralis, proposed new species isolated from the oral cavity of man. J. Bacteriol. 88:1329-1337. 1964.-Twenty-seven strains of oral bacteroides were
1. Certain sugars were transported across the buccal mucosa by a carrier-mediated mechanism. 2. The metabolic loss of sugars from the mouth in a 5 min test period was negligible. 3. The buccal mucosal transport process was stereospecific for D-glucose and L-arabinose. 4. The absorption of D-glucose,
In 1954, Dr. Yuichi Yamamura and his coassociates, National Sanatorium Toneyama Hospital, has reported the formation of experimental tuberculous cavity in rabbits. This work was a milestone of the researches in the field of cellular immunology. In 1960, I have started my scientific carrier in Kyushu
α-L-arabinofuranosidases (EC 3.2.1.55) participate in the degradation of a variety of L-arabinose-containing polysaccharides and interact synergistically with other hemicellulases in the production of oligosaccharides and bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels. In this work, the
L-Arabinose sugar residues are relatively abundant in plants and are found mainly in arabinan polysaccharides and in other arabinose-containing polysaccharides such as arabinoxylans and pectic arabinogalactans. The majority of the arabinose units in plants are present in the furanose form and only a
The design and synthesis of novel Ras inhibitors with a bicyclic scaffold derived from the natural sugar D-arabinose are presented. Molecular modelling showed that these ligands can bind Ras by accommodating the aromatic moieties and the phenylhydroxylamino group in a cavity near the Switch II
3-Deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate-8-phosphate synthase (KDO8PS) from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Aquifex aeolicus differs from its Escherichia coli counterpart in the requirement of a divalent metal for activity (Duewel, H. S., and Woodard, R. W. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 22824-22831). Here we
Thermostability is an important property of industrially significant hydrolytic enzymes: understanding the structural basis for this attribute will underpin the future biotechnological exploitation of these biocatalysts. The Cellvibrio family 10 (GH10) xylanases display considerable sequence
The taxonomic position of 12 isolates tentatively assigned to the genus Bifidobacterium on the basis of a limited phenotypic characterization was examined. The isolates were collected between 1978 and 2005 in Belgium, Sweden and Norway, and originated from various human clinical samples, including
Crude pea (Pisum sativum L.) polysaccharides (CPPs) were extracted under ultrasound assistance, and CPP yield was highest to 6.27381%, which optimized using response surface methodology. Enzymatic method was more effective in deproteinization than Trichloroacetic acid and Sevag method, when
The distribution, enumeration, and identification of lactobacilli on vegetable plants were studied in an area described geographically as being subtropical and moist. The lactobacilli were obtained, by means of quantitative enrichment procedures in Rogosa's SL broth, from 35.3% of all samples
