A pyridoxal dehydrogenase was purified to homogeneity from Aureobacterium luteolum, which can use pyridoxine as a carbon and nitrogen source, and characterized. The enzyme was a dimeric protein with a subunit molecular weight of 38,000. It had several properties distinct from those of the partially purified enzyme from Pseudomonas MA-1. The optimum pH (8.0-8.5) was 0.8-1.3 lower than that of the Pseudomonas enzyme. The Aureobacterium enzyme showed much higher and lower affinities for NAD+ (Km, 0.140 +/- 0.008 mM) and pyridoxal (0.473 +/- 0.109 mM), respectively, than those of the Pseudomonas enzyme. The Aureobacterium enzyme could use NADP+ as a substrate: the reactivity was 6.5% of NAD+. The enzyme was much more tolerant to metal-chelating agents. Irreversibility of the enzymatic reaction was shared by the two enzymes. No aldehyde dehydrogenase showed similarity to the amino-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme.

We used the resting-cell reaction to screen approximately 200 microorganisms for biocatalysts which reduce 3-quinuclidinone to optically pure (R)-(-)-3-quinuclidinol. Microbacterium luteolum JCM 9174 was selected as the most suitable organism. The genes encoding the protein products that reduced 3-quinuclidinone were isolated from M.

We found two NADH-dependent reductases (QNR and bacC) in Microbacterium luteolum JCM 9174 (M. luteolum JCM 9174) that can reduce 3-quinuclidinone to optically pure (R)-(-)-3-quinuclidinol. Alcohol dehydrogenase from Leifsonia sp.

Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (LPD), a useful biocatalyst for regenerating NAD(+), was purified from Microbacterium luteolum JCM 9174, and the gene encoding LPD was cloned from the genomic DNA. The gene contained an opening reading frame consisting of 1395 nucleotides encoding 465 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular weight of 49912.1 Da, which displayed 36-78% homology to known LPDs.

A taxonomic study of two crude-oil-degrading, Gram-positive bacterial strains, designated BAS69(T) and BNP48(T), revealed that they represent two novel Microbacterium species. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to their closest phylogenetic neighbours was 98.5 % for BAS69(T) (Microbacterium paraoxydans DSM 15019(T) and Microbacterium saperdae DSM 20169(T)) and 99 % for BNP48(T) (Microbacterium luteolum DSM 20143(T)).

Pyridoxal 4-dehydrogenase (PLDH; EC 1.1.107) is the second enzyme in the bacterial degradation pathway I of vitamin B(6), which catalyzes the oxidation of pyridoxal to 4-pyridoxolactone using NAD(+).
