• R. planticola was chosen to receive this gene as it already had metabolic pathways to breakdown pentose sugars such as xylose, which is a main component of agricultural and forest residues. (wikipedia.org)
  • KM-1 can utilize both hexose and pentose sugars for the intracellular storage of bioplastic poly-( R )-3-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) under aerobic conditions. (springeropen.com)
  • AGA58 is an obligatory homofermentative where hexose sugars such as galactose, glucose, fructose, sucrose, mannose, N-acetyl glucosamine, maltose, trehalose are fermented to lactate thru glycolysis and no acid production from pentose sugars achieved due to lack of key enzyme namely phosphoketolase in pentose phosphate pathway. (sciencegate.app)
  • To date, the successful biotechnological production of pyruvate from glucose has primarily been achieved using bacteria, such as Escherichia coli (Causey et al. (springeropen.com)
  • surprisingly the KM-1 strain can utilize C6 and C5 sugars in parallel, without glucose catabolite repression (Kawata et al. (springeropen.com)
  • They are composed of monomers of five different sugars (i.e., d -xylose, l -arabinose, d -galactose, d -mannose, and d -glucose). (springeropen.com)
  • It can be used as an immediate food nutrient, or combined and rearranged to form monosaccharide sugars, such as glucose , which can be transported to other cells, or packaged for storage as insoluble polysaccharides such as starch . (wikidoc.org)
  • In the Light-independent or dark reactions the enzyme RuBisCO captures CO 2 from the atmosphere and in a process that requires the newly formed NADPH, called the Calvin-Benson cycle releases three-carbon sugars which are later combined to form sucrose and starch. (wikidoc.org)
  • The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of mono sugars revealed that EPS was composed of manouronic acid, glucuronic acid, xylose, and fructose at a molar ratio of 1.0:0.5:1.0:2.0, respectively. (springeropen.com)
  • A polysaccharide (PS) is a carbohydrate that was primarily produced by bacteria, fungi, microalgae, and streptomycetes. (springeropen.com)
  • The main objective of this paper is to review the delignification and hydrolysis capabilities of microorganisms (bacteria and fungi). (springeropen.com)
  • The majority of bacteria show characteristics intermediate between the two, which can utilize both organic and inorganic compounds. (biologyideas.com)
  • Thus, the transfer of a phosphorylcholine head group from phosphatidylcholine to ceramide yields another phospholipid, sphingomyelin (also sphingolipid) and the addition of carbohydrate groups from the sugar donor, UDP-hexose, yields complex glycosphingolipids (cerebrosides, sulfatides, gangliosides).

  • This plasmid codes for the enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase which, along with alcohol dehydrogenase already present in the bacteria allow it to produce ethanol. (wikipedia.org)
  • Zobell ( 2 ) observed that the number of bacteria on surfaces was dramatically higher than in the surrounding medium (in this case, seawater). (cdc.gov)
  • It is a complex process occurring in higher plants , phytoplankton , algae , as well as bacteria such as cyanobacteria . (wikidoc.org)
  • AGA58 predicted to carry bacteriocin genes for type A2 lantipeptide, Blp family class II bacteriocins showing antimicrobial potential of this bacterium which can be linked to antagonism tests that AGA58 can inhibit E. coli O157:H7, S. Typhimurium ATCC14028, and K. pneumonia ATCC13883. (sciencegate.app)
  • Ph.D. research conducted at Oregon State University, supervised by Elaine Ingham, obtained a sample of the genetically modified organism for assessing ecological effects through the German Institut für Biotechnologie and, testing it in non-sterile (ordinary) soil, found that the modified bacteria caused small amounts of alcohol in the soil.
