The vitamin requirements of 46 strains representing nine species of Staphylococcus isolated from human skin together with nine authentic reference strains of these species were determined using a chemically defined medium. Strains of Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Staphylococcus cohnii were isolated on selective media. All the strains investigated required nicotinic acid and thiamine for growth. Biotin was essential or stimulatory for all coagulase negative strains except one strain of Staphylococcus capitis. Oleic acid substituted for biotin in all cases except with one strain of Staphylococcus haemolyticus. No species pattern of biotin requirement or of the ability of oleic acid to substitute for biotin was apparent. Five out of six strains of Staph. cohnii required pantothenic acid. 相似文献

Abstract The vitamin requirements of a strain of Candida shehatae for the fermentation of d -xylose was determined using a statistical procedure with a 23 factorial design. Biotin as well as thiamine exerted a dramatic stimulatory effect on the rate of ethanol production, coupled with a significant improvement in the ethanol yield. The greatest enhancement of the fermentation was found in the presence of both these vitamins. Pyridoxine exerted only a minor effect, but was essential for complete substrate utilization in the absence of either biotin or thiamine. Only biotin caused a significant increase in the growth rate. 相似文献

SYNOPSIS. Vitamin B12, biotin and thiamine requirements of 10 strains of Volvulina steinii and 1 strain of V. pringsheimii were studied. Vitamin B12 is required for growth of both species, thiamine stimulates growth slightly, and biotin has no discernible effect on growth. The minimum concentration of vitamin B12 giving a growth response in V. steinii, strain SC-2, was 10?8 g/ml, and maximum growth response was obtained with 1.1 × 10?7 g/ml. An organic carbon source is required for growth of V. steinii but not of V. pringsheimii. Growth of V. steinii, strain SC-2, occurred in 20 of 21 carbon sources tested. Optimal growth with each carbon source was largely dependent upon pH. Except for pyruvate, acetate, and ethanol, carbon source utilization was light-dependent, and growth in ethanol was reduced in the dark. Isocitric lyase activity was detected in V. steinii grown on acetate medium. 相似文献

A penicillin-resistant mutant of Flavobacterium rigense designated as strain 703, FERM-P no. 3628, was obtained after ultraviolet treatment of F. rigense FERM-P no. 3556. The parent strain produces 0-2-hydroxypropylhomoserine from 1,2-propanediol. The mutant was found to be a good producer of L-glutamine. The physiological characteristics of strain 703 were different from the general group of L-glutamic acid-producing bacteria. Strain 703 required L-tryptophan and thiamine but not biotin for its growth. L-Glutamine formation on a specific basis, however, was independent of L-tryptophan and thiamine. Biotin and penicillin were also not effective. Only ammonium fumarate acted as an effective factor on L-glutamine formation. Accumulation of L-glutamine by strain 703 was 10 mg/ml at 30 degrees C for 48 h in a chemically defined medium containing 3% diammonium fumarate. 相似文献

The minimal nutritional growth requirements were determined for strains Okra B and Iwanai E, which are representatives of groups I and II, respectively, of Clostridium botulinum. These type B and E strains differed considerably in their nutrient requirements. The organic growth factors required in high concentrations by the Okra B strain (group I) were arginine and phenylalanine. Low concentrations (less than or equal to 0.1 g/liter) of eight amino acids (methionine, leucine, valine, isoleucine, glycine, histidine, tryptophan, and tyrosine) and of five vitamins (pyridoxamine, p-aminobenzoic acid, biotin, nicotinic acid, and thiamine) were also essential for biosynthesis. The 10 required amino acids could be replaced by intact protein of known composition by virtue of the bacterium's ability to synthesize proteases. Glucose or other carbohydrates were not essential for Okra B, although they did stimulate growth. Quantitatively, the most essential nutrients for Okra B were arginine and phenylalanine. In contrast, the nonproteolytic strain, Iwanai E (group II), did not require either arginine or phenylalanine. It required glucose or another carbohydrate energy source for growth and did not utilize arginine or intact protein as a substitute source of energy. Iwanai E utilized ammonia as a nitrogen source, although growth was stimulated significantly by organic nitrogenous nutrients, especially glutamate and asparagine. Iwanai E also required biosynthesis levels of seven amino acids (histidine, isoleucine, leucine, tryptophan, tyrosine, valine, and serine), adenine, and six vitamins (biotin, thiamine, pyridoxamine, folic acid, choline, and nicotinamide). Calcium pantothenate also stimulated growth. On the basis of the nutritional requirements, chemically defined minimal media have been constructed for C. botulinum serotypes A, B, E, and F (proteolytic).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

In the yeast Dipodascus magnusii, which is auxotrophic for thiamine and biotin, during cultivation on glucose with excessive thiamine concentration, pyruvate metabolism was shown to result in the synthesis of fermentation products, namely, ethanol and, to a lesser extent, lactate. Substantial synthesis of ethyl acetate was also observed under these conditions. Introduction of nicotinic acid (NA) into the medium resulted in time separation of ethanol and lactate production. It was shown that cultivation of the yeast under biotin deficiency resulted in nearly complete suppression of aerobic production of ethanol and cessation of ethyl acetate synthesis, whereas lactate synthesis was activated as early as in the first hours of cultivation. Upon introduction of NA under these conditions, lactate concentration sharply increased. These results show that the combination of thiamine and biotin with other vitamins can stimulate utilization of the pyruvate pool in yeasts towards formation of considerable amounts of lactate, which is typical only of cells of higher eukaryotes and bacteria. 相似文献

Nutrition of Coryneform Bacteria from Milk and Dairy Sources 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
S ummary . Growth requirements were determined for 112 cultures of coryneform bacteria including strains of Corynebacterium bovis, C. ulcerans and C. lacticum ; in general they were quite distinctive. Of 42 C. bovis strains all had an unsaturated fatty acid requirement fulfilled in chemically defined media by Tween 80, and, but for an atypically nonureolytic strain, all utilized ammonia and urea nitrogen. Whereas vitamins were unessential for the majority of C. bovis. 18 strains failed to grow in the absence of nicotinic acid; however, for 11 of these Casamino Acids replaced nicotinic acid in supporting growth. Thirteen C. ulcerans strains from aseptically drawn milk, as well as two Type Culture strains (NCTC 7907 and 7908) from the human throat required amino acid nitrogen sources, nicotinic acid, pantothenate and biotin. Some nutritional heterogeneity was shown by 46 strains collectively described as C. lacticum obtained from market milk, milk products and dairy utensils; nevertheless the nutritional differences between the groups of these strains correlated broadly with other distinguishing properties. A group of 9 markedly caseolytic strains required amino acid nitrogen sources, thiamine and biotin, whereas a second group of 30 strains, some utilizing inorganic nitrogen sources, required thiamine and pantothenate, with or without biotin. The remaining C. lacticum strains together with a number of unidentified strains from similar sources were generally slow growing and had widely differing growth requirements. 相似文献

The growth requirements of several yeasts isolated from San Francisco sour dough mother sponges were compared with those of bakers' yeast. The sour dough yeasts studied were one strain of Saccharomyces uvarum, one strain of S. inusitatus, and four strains of S. exiguus. S. inusitatus was the only yeast found to have an amino acid requirement, namely, methionine. All of the yeasts had an absolute requirement for pantothenic acid and a partial requirement for biotin. Inositol was stimulatory to all except bakers' yeast. All strains of S. exiguus required niacin and thiamine. Interestingly, S. inusitatus, the only yeast that required methionine, also needed folic acid. For optimal growth of S. exiguus in a molasses medium, supplementation with thiamine was required. 相似文献

The effect of succinate on the growth and respiration of the yeast Dipodascus magnusii VKM Y-1072, which is auxotrophic for thiamine and biotin, was studied. The addition of succinate to a culture grown on glucose was found to activate the respiration of cells on various substrates by enhancing the processes related to transamination reactions. In this case, aerobic fermentation (ethanol production) decreased, whereas pyruvate production increased. When succinate was added to the medium as the sole carbon source, it supported yeast growth in the absence of one of the two vitamins, thiamine or biotin, but not both. The yeast metabolism was completely respiratory, without any signs of aerobic fermentation. A drastic rise in pyruvate production in the yeast grown on glucose in the presence of succinate and the absence of biotin are also indicative of metabolic changes. 相似文献

Vitamin requirements for the growth of the acetic acid bacteria were investigated extensively on a. taxonomical viewpoint and the following new findings were pointed out. Neither Acetobacter nor Intermediate strain required vitamin for the growth.Gluconobacter required generally pantothenic acid. And some strains belonging to it did moreover somewhat of thiamine, nicotinic acid and p-aminobenzoic acid, although there was a difference of requirements between strains even in the same species. Riboflavin, pyridoxine, vitamin B12, folic acid, biotin and inositol were unnecessary for the growth of the acetic acid bacteria. A taxonomical division of the acetic acid bacteria based on the vitamin requirements agreed well with that on basis of the oxidative activities for carbohydrates. 相似文献

The vitamin requirements of 66 strains of Staphylococcus cohnii from various sources were determined using solidified and liquid chemically defined media. All the strains tested required nicotinic acid and thiamine. Biotin was either growth stimulatory or essential for 34 strains. Pantothenic acid was required by 21 of the 30 strains of known human origin but was not required by any of the 24 strains of murine origin. There was an association among Staph. cohnii strains to grow in the absence of pantothenic acid and biotin and the ability to produce acid from lactose and the possession of phosphatase activity (20. strains). The majority of strains requiring pantothenic acid and biotin were unable to ferment lactose and did not possess phosphatase activity (22 strains). 相似文献

Summary Five components of Yeast Nutrient Base (YNB) of Difco have been identified as required nutrients for Candida shehatae ATCC 22984 in fermenting xylose to ethanol with ammonium sulfate as the nitrogen source. They are potassium phosphate monobasic, magnesium sulfate, zinc sulfate, thiamine hydrochloride, and biotin. The fermentation results in the minimum medium containing only the five required nutrient components plus xylose and ammonium sulfate have been shown to be comparable to those in the full YNB plus xylose. 相似文献

In this study, the medium requirements to increase the production of xylitol by using Candida tropicalis (CT) have been investigated. The technique of single addition or omission of medium components was applied to determine the nutritional requirements. The addition of amino acids such as Asp, Glu, Gln, Asn, Thr, and Gly had no significant effect on CT growth. However, in the absence of other metal ions, there was a higher concentration of cell growth and xylitol production when only Zn2+ was present in the medium. The analysis of various vitamins unveiled that biotin and thiamine were the only vitamins required for the growth of CT. Surprisingly, when only biotin was present in the medium as a vitamin, there was less growth of CT than when the medium was complete, but the amount of xylitol released was significantly higher. Overall, this study will increase the xylitol production using the single omission or addtion technique. 相似文献

The nutritional profiles ofCorynebacterium laevaniformans and the other levan synthesizing coryneform organism isolated by Henis and Aschner (1954) have been studied.C. laevaniformans required biotin, thiamine and pantothenic acid for growth while the Henis and Aschner strain required the former two vitamins only. Two of the six strains ofC. laevaniformans had, in addition, a requirement for glutamate.C. laevaniformans has been shown to be able to degrade levan in growing cultures. Some properties of a cell-free levansucrase are described. 相似文献

A defined medium was developed for Methanomicrobium mobile BP. M. mobile required acetate for growth; the optimal concentration was 30 mM. Other requirements and their optimal concentrations included isobutyrate (0.65 mM), isovalerate (0.73 mM), and 2-methylbutyrate (1.5 mM). The appropriate branched-chain amino acids did not substitute for these branched-chain fatty acids. M. mobile required tryptophan at an optimal concentration of 24 microM. Indole substituted for tryptophan, but the possible precursor compounds shikimic acid and anthranilic acid and the degradation compound skatole did not. Vitamin requirements and their optimal concentrations included pyridoxine (0.49 microM), thiamine (0.15 microM), biotin (0.04 microM), and vitamin B12 (0.04 microM); p-aminobenzoic acid (0.18 microM) was required for optimal growth, but folic acid did not replace p-aminobenzoic acid. M. mobile required an unidentified growth factor found in ruminal fluid or extracts of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum for growth. M. mobile has a complex nutrition compared with that of other methanogens, but not an unusual nutrition in the context of organisms from the ruminal ecosystem. 相似文献
