Of Micrococcus luteus

Fig. 15. Inhibition of the lysis of Micrococcus luteus by lysozyme, kiko (ko = activity in the absence of inhibitor) (A, 0), and optical density increase of an M. luteus suspension at 500 nm, both as a function of polyelectrolyte concentration. Poly(Lys), O Poly(Glu), pH 8.5, I = 0.01, lysozyme 0.55 x 10" M. M. luteus 100 mg liter", +20°C. Inset Recording vs time of the optical density increase of an M. luteus suspension on addition of poly(Lys) at 2.5 X 10" M, at +20°C.

Another series, pyralomycins 2a-2c (99-101), have a tetrahydropyran ring in place of the cyclohexene ring. They inhibit the growth of Micrococcus luteus at 0.2-25 pg/ml [83]. 

Combine the required amount of CsCl stock solution, 1 pg of undetermined DNA, 1 fig of Micrococcus luteus reference DNA (buoyant density 1.7311 g/ml),6 and bring to a final volume of 500 fi with distilled water. Load centrifuge cells. Centrifugation is generally for 20 hr at 44,000 rpm.17...

The strain of Actinamadura spiralis isolated from a soil sample produced new antibiotics, pyralomicins (169-175). Pyralomicins inhibited the growth of Micrococcus luteus and Escherichia coli at the concentration of 0.2-25 (xg/ml by agar dilution method. Pyralomicin la (169) and pyralomicin 2a (173) did not show any acute toxicity in mice at 100 mg/kg ip [205]. 

Consists of linear polysaccharide chains cross-linked by oligopeptide units to form a single bag-shaped giant molecule which envelopes the cytoplasmic membrane of bacterial cells. Gramnegative bacterial cell walls contain a thin layer of peptidoglycan whereas it is the major component of gram-positive bacterial cell walls. Detailed studies have been made on the peptidoglycan isolated from cell walls of Micrococcus luteus. Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli.

Trehalose tetraesters characterised by ID and 2D H and C NMR and ESI-MS as biosurfactants (rather than cryoprotectants) were isolated from a soil strain of Micrococcus luteus. Solubilisation of phenol within mieellar aggregates of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB) in aqueous solutions were investigated by H NMR in D20. The synthesis and properties of non-cytotoxic carboxymethylcellulose-chitosan hydrogels modified with poly(ester-urethane) was reported. 2D NOE NMR gave new insights into the interactions between polyamidoamine dendrimers and different surfactants including SDS and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide. The ability of a- and (3-CDs to disrupt a surfactant mixed micelle of an equimolar mixture of octyltriethylammonium bromide (OTEAB) and sodium perfluorooctanoate (SPFO) was studied by H and F NMR. The effect of ethanol on the micellization of SDS (anionic...
