Azoreductase, an enzyme catalyzing the reductive cleavage of the azo bond of methyl red (MR) and related dyes, was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from Enterobacter agglomerans. This bacterial strain, isolated from dye-contaminated sludge, has a higher ability to grow, under aerobic conditions, on culture medium containing 100mg/L of MR. The enzyme was purified approximately 90-fold with 20% yield by ammonium sulfate precipitation, followed by three steps of column chromatography (gel-filtration, anion-exchange, and dye-affinity). The purified enzyme is a monomer with a molecular weight of 28,000 Da. The maximal azoreductase activity was observed at pH 7.0 and at 35 degrees C. This activity was NADH dependent. The K(m) values for both NADH and MR were 58.9 and 29.4 microM, respectively. The maximal velocity (V(max)) was 9.2 micromol of NADH min(-1)mg(-1). The purified enzyme is inhibited by several metal ions including Fe(2+) and Cd(2+). 相似文献

Immobilized cells of Enterobacter agglomerans, able to reduce azo dyes enzymatically, were used as a biocatalyst for the decolorization of synthetic medium containing the toxic azo dye methyl red (MR). This bacterial strain exhibits high ability to completely decolorize 100 mg/L of MR after only 6 h of incubation under aerobic conditions. Cells of E. agglomerans were immobilized in calcium alginate, polyacylamide, cooper beech, and vermiculite, and were used for the decolorization of MR from synthetic water by using a fluidized bed bioreactor. The highest specific decolorization rate was obtained when E. agglomerans was entrapped in calcium alginate beads and was of about 3.04 mg MR/g cell/h with a 50% conversion time (t1/2) of about 1.6 h. Moreover, immobilized cells in calcium alginate continuously decolorized MR even after seven repeated experiments without significant loss of activity, while polyacrylamide-, cooper beech-, and vermiculite-immobilized cells retained only 62, 15, and 13% of their original activity, respectively. 相似文献

The Bielschowsky silver impregnation method has been used extensively to demonstrate neuronal processes including dendrites, axons and neurofibrils. In this study, we examined the differences in the time required for and the staining quality of the Bielschowsky method for neuronal processes when microwave heating was used instead of processing at room temperature. For this purpose, a control group of sections stained according to the conventional method at room temperature was compared to an experimental group stained in a microwave oven at 180 W for 2, 4 and 1 min in 2% silver nitrate, ammoniacal silver nitrate and gold chloride, respectively. Light microscopic examination demonstrated that the normal structure was preserved in both groups and that there was no difference in the staining quality between the control and the microwave groups. In addition, staining time for this procedure was reduced to 8 min by using the microwave oven. Our study revealed that microwave irradiation can be used safely for Bielschowsky silver impregnation of neuronal tissues. 相似文献
