Two routes for synthesis of phosphoenolpyruvate from C4-dicarboxylic acids in
(Elsevier, 1974-08-19)
Mutants of defective in both phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and phosphoenolpyruvate synthetase are unable to use C4-dicarboxylic acids such as succinate and malate as carbon and energy sources for growth. Revertants ...
Benzoylarginine peptidase and iminopeptidase profiles of Treponema denticola strains isolated from the human periodontal pocket
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 1986-03)
Seven clinical isolates and the ATCC strain 35405 of Treponema denticola , obtained from human periodontal pockets, were studied for peptidase activity with several chromogenic compounds as substrates. The cell sonicates ...
Optimal design of feedback control by inhibition
(Springer-Verlag, 1974-06)
A recently developed, nonlinear method of systems analysis has been used to compare alternative patterns of control by feedback inhibition in otherwise equivalent unbranched biosynthetic pathways. The steady state performance ...
Checkpoints and restriction points in bacteria and eukaryotic cells
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-10)
Bacterial checkpoints, analogous to those proposed to exist in eukaryotic cells, offer insights into the definition of a checkpoint. Examination of bacterial “checkpoint” or arrest phenomena illustrate problems with a ...
Development of pure culture biofilms of P. putida on solid supports
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1991-03-15)
Pseudomonas putida biofilms were developed on and biofilm accumulation rate data were obtained for the following two classes of support materials: charged surfaces and noncharged hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. The ...
Effects of rifampicin, streptolydigin and actinomycin D on the replication of Col E1 plasmid DNA in Escherichia coli
(Elsevier, 1973-04-15)
We recently reported (Clewell et al., 1972) on an inhibitory effect of rifampicin on Col E1 plasmid replication. The present study represents a further characterization of this phenomenon as well as a study of the effects ...
Growth equations: A general equation and a survey of special cases
(Elsevier, 1980-04)
Although growth in its various manifestations has been studied for centuries and although there are a large number of well-established growth "laws," that work is almost entirely empirical and lacks a theoretical foundation ...
Amino acid sequence of pheromone-inducible surface protein in Enterococcus faecalis, that is encoded on the conjugative plasmid pPD1
(Elsevier, 1990-07-02)
The major pheromone-inducible protein, PD78, believed to contribute to bacterial conjugation, was purified from Enterococcus (formerly Streptococcus) faecalis cells containing the plasmid pPD1. A cloned EcoRI-Bg/II 3.6-kbp ...
[lambda] N antitermination system: Functional analysis of phage interactions with the host NusA protein
(Elsevier, 1987-04-20)
Coliphage [lambda] gene expression is regulated temporally by systems of termination and antitermination of transcription. The [lambda]-encoded N protein (pN) acting with host factors (Nus) at sites (nut) located downstream ...
Isolation and structure of the Streptococcus faecalis sex pheromone, cAM373
(Elsevier, 1986-09-29)
The Streptococcus faecalis sex pheromone, cAM373, which induces a mating response of donor cells harboring plasmid pAM373 and is also produced by Staphylococcus aureus, was isolated and its structure determined. Supernatant ...
