Isolation and Characterization of Homologically Expressed Methanol Dehydrogenase from AM1 for the Development of Bioelectrocatalytical Systems.

(Ca)-dependent pyrroloquinolinequinone (PQQ)-dependent methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) (EC: 1.1.2.

AcdR protein is an activator of transcription of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase in Methylobacterium radiotolerans JCM 2831.

It has been previously shown that a number of plant associated methylotrophic bacteria contain an enzyme aminocyclopropane carboxylate (ACC) deaminase (AcdS) hydrolyzing ACC, the immediate precursor of ethylene in plants. The genome of the epiphytic methylotroph Methylobacterium radiotolerans JCM2831 contains an open reading frame encoding a protein homologous to transcriptional regulatory protein AcdR of the Lrp (leucine-responsive regulatory protein) family. The acdR gene of M.

Enzymes of an alternative pathway of glucose metabolism in obligate methanotrophs.

Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria utilize methane as a growth substrate but are unable to grow on any sugars. In this study we have shown that two obligate methanotrophs, Methylotuvimicrobium alcaliphilum 20Z and Methylobacter luteus IMV-B-3098, possess functional glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) and gluconate kinase (GntK). The recombinant GDHs from both methanotrophs were homotetrameric and strongly specific for glucose preferring NAD over NADP.

Distribution of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase and D-cysteine desulfhydrase genes among type species of the genus Methylobacterium.

The presence of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase determines the ability of bacteria to increase the resistance of plants to various types of stress. The genes of ACC deaminase (acdS) and the closely related enzyme D-cysteine desulfhydrase (dcyD) were searched in type strains of various representatives of the genus Methylobacterium. Using PCR screening and in silico searching in the available complete genome sequences of type strains, the genes were found in 28 of 48 species of the genus.

1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminases from Methylobacterium radiotolerans and Methylobacterium nodulans with higher specificity for ACC.

[Characteristics of the motor innervation of the larynx].

Electromyography revealed the larynx crossed motor innervation in dogs. Unilateral transection of the inferior laryngeal nerve or its branches caused disappearance of electrical activity in the denervated inner laryngeal muscles as well as immobility of the vocal cord at the transection side and its paramedian transposition. Within 6 or more months after the transection, the periodic electrical activity occurring mainly in the abductor muscles in inhalation and in abductor ones in exhalation, was restored.
