A new unique lectin (galactose-specific) purified from the seeds of Dolichos lablab, designated as DLL-II is a heterodimer composed of closely related subunits α and β. These were separated by SDS-PAGE and
isolated by electroelution. By ESI-MS analysis their molecular masses were found to be 30.746 kDa (α) and 28.815 kDa (β) respectively.
Both subunits were glycosylated and displayed similar amino acid composition. Using advanced mass spectrometry in combination
with de novo sequencing and database searches for the peptides derived by enzymatic and chemical cleavage of these subunits, the primary
sequence was deduced. This revealed DLL-II to be made of two polypeptide chains of 281(α) and 263(β) amino acids respectively.
The β subunit differed from the α subunit by the absence of some amino acids at the carboxy terminal end. This structural
difference suggests that possibly, the β subunit is derived from the α subunit by posttranslational proteolytic modification
at the COOH-terminus. Comparison of the DLL-II sequence to other leguminous seed lectins indicates a high degree of structural
conservation.

A halotolerant, alkaliphilic dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing bacterium, strain SFB, was isolated from salt flat sediments collected
from Soap Lake, WA. 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid gene sequence analysis identified strain SFB as a novel Bacillus sp. most similar to Bacillus agaradhaerens (96.7% similarity). Strain SFB, a fermentative, facultative anaerobe, fermented various hexoses including glucose and fructose.
The fructose fermentation products were lactate, acetate, and formate. Under fructose-fermenting conditions in a medium amended
with Fe(III), Fe(II) accumulated concomitant with a stoichiometric decrease in lactate and an increase in acetate and CO2. Strain SFB was also capable of respiratory Fe(III) reduction with some unidentified component(s) of Luria broth as an electron
donor. In addition to Fe(III), strain SFB could also utilize nitrate, fumarate, or O2 as alternative electron acceptors. Optimum growth was observed at 30°C and pH 9. Although the optimal salinity for growth
was 0%, strain SFB could grow in a medium with up to 15% NaCl by mass. These studies describe a novel alkaliphilic, halotolerant
organism capable of dissimilatory Fe(III) reduction under extreme conditions and demonstrate that Bacillus species can contribute to the microbial reduction of Fe(III) in environments at elevated pH and salinity, such as soda lakes. 相似文献
