Abstract:
Mucor circinelloides is an oleaginous fungus that utilizes a wide variety of carbon substrates for its growth. The different sources of carbon strongly influence the total lipid content of the fungus. These different carbon substrates are assimilated and dissimilated through different metabolic pathways before entering into the TAG synthesis pathway. In the present study, we attempted to explore the mechanism of ex-novo lipid biosynthesis in M. circinelloides WJ11 in response to exogenous plant oil as a carbon source through transcriptomic analysis.

Abstract:
In the bacterial processes involved in the mitigation of nitrogen pollution, an adequately high carbon-to-nitrogen (C : N) ratio is key to sustain denitrification. We evaluated three natural materials (woodchips, barley grains, and peanut shells) as carbon sources for low C : N wastewater. The amount of organic matter released from these materials to aqueous media was evaluated, as well as their pollution swapping potential by measuring the release of total Kjeldahl nitrogen, N-NH4+,NO2-, andNO3-, and total phosphorous. Barley grains yielded the highest amount of organic matter, which also sho

Abstract:
Four species of marine microalgae with similar morphology and life cycle, namely Nannochloris atomus Butcher, Nannochloris maculata Butcher, Nannochloropsis gaditana Lubian, and Nannochloropsis oculata (Droop) Hibberd, have been examined with respect to their affinity for different sources of dissolved inorganic carbon. External carbonic anhydrase activity was not found in any of these species, but the cell affinity for dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in Nannochloris species was affected by the inhibitor acetazolamide at a concentration of 400 µM.

ABSTRACT The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa is able to utilize a wide variety of carbon sources. Here, we examine the involvement of a predicted G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), GPR-4, during growth and development in the presence of different carbon sources in N. crassa. Δgpr-4 mutants have reduced mass accumulation compared to the wild type when cultured on high levels of glycerol, mannitol, or arabinose. The defect is most severe on glycerol and is cell density dependent. The genetic and physical relationship between GPR-4 and the three N. crassa Gα subunits (GNA-1, GNA-2, and GNA-3

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Spontaneous plasmid transformation of Escherichia coli occurs on nutrient-containing agar plates. E. coli has also been reported to use double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) as a carbon source. The mechanism(s) of entry of exogenous dsDNA that allows plasmid establishment or the use of DNA as a nutrient remain(s) unknown. To further characterize plasmid transformation, we first documented the stimulation of transformation by agar and agarose. We provide evidence that stimulation is not due to agar contributing a supplement of Ca2+, Fe2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, or Zn2+. Second, we undertook to inactivate t

Abstract:
FadD is an acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthetase specific for long-chain fatty acids (LCFA). Strains mutated in fadD cannot produce acyl-CoA and thus cannot grow on exogenous LCFA as the sole carbon source. Mutants in the fadD (smc02162) of Sinorhizobium meliloti are unable to grow on oleate as the sole carbon source and present an increased surface motility and accumulation of free fatty acids at the entry of the stationary phase of growth. In this study, we found that constitutive expression of the closest FadD homologues of S. meliloti, encoded by sma0150 and smb20650, could not revert any of th

Abstract:
The oxygen-dependent in vivo inactivation of gramicidin S synthetase was investigated in Bacillus brevis ATCC 9999. Inhibitors of energy metabolism and of protein synthesis added to aerated cell suspensions did not provide any protection against inactivation, thus indicating that the process does not depend on energy-yielding metabolism nor on de novo protein synthesis. Organic thiols added to anaerobic long-term incubations retarded synthetase inactivation for several hours, whereas in short-term incubations of previously air-exposed cells they resulted in partial restoration of activity.

ABSTRACT Cryptococci survive and replicate within macrophages and can use exogenous arachidonic acid for the production of eicosanoids. Phospholipase B1 (PLB1) has a putative, but uninvestigated, role in these processes. We have shown that uptake and esterification of radiolabeled arachidonic, palmitic, and oleic acids by the Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii H99 wild-type strain and its PLB1 deletion mutant strain (the Δplb1 strain) are independent of PLB1, except under hyperosmolar stress. Similarly, PLB1 was required for metabolism of 1-palmitoyl lysophosphatidylcholine (LysoPC), which is

The negative organic carbon isotope excursion (CIE) associated with the end-Triassic mass extinction (ETE) is conventionally interpreted as the result of a massive flux of isotopically light carbon from exogenous sources into the atmosphere (e.g., thermogenic methane and/or methane clathrate dissociation linked to the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province [CAMP]). Instead, we demonstrate that at its type locality in the Bristol Channel Basin (UK), the CIE was caused by a marine to nonmarine transition resulting from an abrupt relative sea level drop.

ABSTRACT Natural genetic competence is the ability of cells to take up extracellular DNA and is an important mechanism for horizontal gene transfer. Another potential benefit of natural competence is that exogenous DNA can serve as a nutrient source for starving bacteria because the ability to “eat” DNA is necessary for competitive survival in environments containing limited nutrients. We show here that eight Escherichia coli genes, identified as homologs of com genes in Haemophilus influenzae and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, are necessary for the use of extracellular DNA as the sole source of carbo

Electron microscopy reveals unusual multivesicular structures within the hyphae. Nitrogen deprivation appears to be the main stimulus for hyphal growth.
