Bacterium

There are two convenient forms of genetic material, that can be used as vehicles for introducing the new gene into the bacterium a small circular DNA piece, called a plasmid, or a virus that grows in bacteria. The techniques described below apply to both plasmids and viruses. [Pg.242]

The bacterium was Strepto coccus pneumoniae also called Pneumococcus... [Pg.1166]

Taq polymerase was first found in a bacterium Ther mus aquaticus) that lives in hot springs in Yellowstone National Park Bacteria of this type are called ther mophiles because they thrive in warm environments... [Pg.1186]

Gene cloning is a method that uses recombinant technology to insert a gene into a vector DNA (plasmid obtained from a bacterium). The modified vector is put back into the bacterium, which then reproduces endlessly (clones) the new gene as well as the others in the vector. [Pg.422]

The earliest commercially available filters were manufactured in two pore sizes 0.45 and 0.8 pm. The 0.45 pm-rated membranes were considered to be stefilizing-grade filters and were successfully used in the sterile filtration of pharmaceuticals and parenterals. The membrane filters were qualified using Serratia marcescens a standard bacterium, having dimensions of 0.6 x 1 pm. However, in the late 1960s it became apparent that the matrix of the 0.45 pm-rated filters could be penetrated by some pseudomonad-like organisms (1). For sterile filtration apphcations in the 1990s, 0.2 pm-rated membranes are the industry standard in the manufacture of sterile parenterals and pharmaceuticals. [Pg.139]

Miscellaneous Alkaloids. Stukimic acid (57) is a precursor of anthranihc acid (28) and, in yeasts and Escherichia coli (a bacterium), anthranHic acid (o-aminobenzoic acid) is known to serve as a precursor of tryptophan (26). A similar but yet unknown path is presumed to operate in higher plants. Nonetheless, anthranHic acid itself is recognized as a precursor to a number of alkaloids. Thus damascenine [483-64-7] (134), C qH NO, from the seed coats of JSHgella damascena has been shown (95) to incorporate labeled anthranHic acid when unripe seeds of the plant are incubated with labeled precursor. [Pg.556]

PGR amplification of a DNA sequence is faciHtated by the use of a heat-stable DNA polymerase, Taq polymerase (TM), derived from the thermostable bacterium Thermus aquaticus. The thermostable polymerase allows the repeated steps of strand separation, primer annealing, and DNA synthesis to be carried out ia a single reactioa mixture where the temperature is cycled automatically. Each cycle coasists of a high temperature step to deaature the template strands, a lower temperature annealing of the primer and template, and a higher temperature synthesis step. AH components of the reaction are present ia the same tube. [Pg.235]

Some chemicals such as iadigo, tryptophan, and phenylalanine are overproduced ia bacteria by pathway engineering (36—38). In this method, the enzymes iavolved ia the entire pathway are overproduced. In addition, the host bacterium is also altered such that the carbon flow is directed toward the engiaeered pathway (38). E. colih.2LS been modified to overproduce iadigo and tryptophan and phenylalanine. CoTjnebacteriumglutamicum has been engiaeered to overproduce tryptophan from 28 to 43 g/L. Similarly, attempts are underway to overproduce several vitamins by pathway engineering (34,38). [Pg.250]

Xanthan Gum. As a result of a project to transform agriculturally derived products into industrially usefiil products by microbial action, the Northern Regional Research Laboratories of the USDA showed that the bacterium TCanthomonas campestris - noduces a polysaccharide with industrially usefiil properties (77). Extensive research was carried out on this interesting polysaccharide in several industrial laboratories during the eady 1960s, culminating in commercial production in 1964. [Pg.436]

Gellan Gum. GeUan gum is the generic name for the extraceUular polysaccharide produced by the bacterium. Pseudomonas elodea (ATCC 31461). Proprietary to Kelco Division of Merck Co., Inc., geUan gum is manufactured in an aerobic, submerged fermentation (76). [Pg.436]

Biacetyl is produced by the dehydrogenation of 2,3-butanediol with a copper catalyst (290,291). Prior to the availabiUty of 2,3-butanediol, biacetyl was prepared by the nitrosation of methyl ethyl ketone and the hydrolysis of the resultant oxime. Other commercial routes include passing vinylacetylene into a solution of mercuric sulfate in sulfuric acid and decomposing the insoluble product with dilute hydrochloric acid (292), by the reaction of acetal with formaldehyde (293), by the acid-cataly2ed condensation of 1-hydroxyacetone with formaldehyde (294), and by fermentation of lactic acid bacterium (295—297). Acetoin [513-86-0] (3-hydroxy-2-butanone) is also coproduced in lactic acid fermentation. [Pg.498]

Succinic acid diesters are also obtained by one-step hydrogenation (over Pd on charcoal) and esterification of maleic anhydride dissolved in alcohols (40) carbonylation of acrylates in the presence of alcohols and Co complex catalysts (41—43) carbonylation of ethylene in alcohol in the presence of Pd or Pd—Cu catalysts (44—50) hydroformylation of acetylene with Mo and W complexes in the presence of butanol (51) and a biochemical process from dextrose/com steep Hquor, using Jinaerobiumspirillum succiniciproducens as a bacterium (52). [Pg.535]

Live vaccines are normally weakened strains that do not cause diseases in the host, but stiU can stimulate the immune response. A typical example is the poho vaccine. The weakening of microorganisms or attenuation of the vims or bacteria can be accompHshed by passage through different substrates and/or at different temperatures. Modem genetic engineering techniques can also be used to attenuate a vims or bacterium. [Pg.356]
