Abstract

The catalytic properties of the partially purified deacetoxycephalosporin C (DAOC)-synthetase and DAOC-hydroxylase from an industrial strain of Cephalosporium acremonium were studied. After mechanical breakage of the cells, purification was achieved by fractional (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, gel chromatography on Sephadex G-75, ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Trisacryl M and two isoelectric focusing steps. The two enzyme activities could not be separated. Indirect evidence was obtained from SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purest fractions obtained by isoelectric focusing that the two reactions are catalyzed by a single enzyme with a molecular weight of 33,000 +/- 2,000 and a pI of 4.6 +/- 0.1. Both reactions require alpha-ketoglutarate, FeSO4, ascorbate and O2, whereas additional ATP shows only a slight stimulation.

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure (ASM)

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
