Effects of dichloroethane isomers on the induction and activity of butane monooxygenase in the alkane-oxidizing bacterium Pseudomonas butanovora"

Article Abstract:

The cooxidation of three different dichloro ethane (1,1-DCE, 1,2-trans DCE and 1,2-cis DCE) by butane monooxygenase (BMO), in the butane-utilizing bacterium 'Pseudomonas butanovora', was examined. The study uncovered some novel findings including the unexpected superiority of lactic acid metabolism to supply reductant to BMO and illustrated the potential DCEs to uncover new insights into the regulation of the BMO operon.

Histamine-producing pathway encoded on an unstable plasmid in Lactobacillus hilgardii 0006

Article Abstract:

A histamine-producing lactic acid bacterium, Lactobacillus hilgardii strain IOEB 0006, which could retain or lose the ability to produce histamine depending on culture conditions is isolated and analyzed. The result describes the genes encoding a histamine-producing pathway and provides clues to the parsimonious distribution and the instability of histamine-producing lactic acid bacteria.

Quantification of 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol-producing Pseudomonas fluorescens strains in the plant rhizosphere by real-time PCR

Article Abstract:

A real-time PCR technique is employed for the quantification of the 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG)-producing Pseudomonas fluorescens strains in soil and the plant rhizosphere.
