In this study, L-lactate dehydrogenase (L-LDH) of Clostridium thermocellum previously cloned aid expressed in Escherichia coli FMJ39 was partially purified and characterised. Optimum temperature and pH of the enzyme were found as 50 degrees C and 7.5, respectively. Different concentrations of Mn2+ did not affect the enzyme activity. Addition of 20-30 mM Mg2+, or the other hand, increased the LDH activity by about 10%. Relatively high concentrations of NaCl (2 M), fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP, 5 mM), ATP (10 mM) and NAD (40 mM) decreased LDH activity by 36, 25, 40 and 100%, respectively. Oxamate and oxalate inhibited LDH activity by 41 and 28%, respectively, when each was added at a concentration of 0.5 mM. When compared to its non-thermotolerant counterparts, the enzyme was found to be very stable when incubated at room temperature, 4 degrees C and even at 50 degrees C.

Cloning, sequencing and expression of L-lactate dehydrogenase gene from clostridium thermocellum and isolation, characterization and transformation of various cellulolytic, thermophilic, ethanol-producing bacteria Özkan, Melek; Özcengiz, Gülay; Ögel, Zümrüt B.; Department of Biotechnology (2002) In this study, the structural gene for L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; EC. 1.1. 1.27) was cloned and characterized for the first time from Clostridium thermocellum 27405 in Escherichia coli. A 357 bp PCR product of predicted size was obtained with degenerate primers designed for conserved regions of Idh genes of different organisms. This amplicon was used as a probe to screen a Lambda Zap II phage library of C. thermocellum genomic DNA. One positive clone contained an insert of 2.5 kb which included an open r...
ANTIOXIDANT RESPONSES OF PEANUT (ARACHIS HYPOGAEA L.) SEEDLINGS TO PROLONGED SALT-INDUCED STRESS KAVAS, MUSA; Akca, Oya Ercan; Akcay, Ufuk Celikkol; Peksel, Begum; Eroğlu, Seçkin; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Yucel, Meral (2015-01-01) In this study, the effects of long-term NaCl treatment were investigated in two cultivars of peanut designated as drought-resistant and drought-sensitive. Growth parameters, changes in the concentrations of MDA, H2O2 and proline, and the activities of antioxidant enzymes were determined under salinity stress. Growth parameters indicated the superiority of cv. Florispan to cv. Gazipasa under milder salinity stress treatment. However, comparative analysis of the two cultivars showed that MDA, H2O2, ion leakag...
Differential activation of immune cells by commensal versus pathogen-derived bacterial DNA Günalp, Sinem; Gürsel, Mayda; Department of Biology (2015) Immunological mechanisms making contribution to discriminating signals obtained from commensal versus pathogenic bacteria is an active area of research and recent evidence proposes that commensals and pathogens might express discrete variants of pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMP). We hypothesized that as a major member of PAMP, bacterial DNA (bacDNA) originating from commensals versus pathogens might possess distinct immunostimulatory activities, enabling their dis- crimination by the immune syst...
Inference of Gene Regulatory Networks Via Multiple Data Sources and a Recommendation Method Ozsoy, Makbule Gulcin; Polat, Faruk; Alhajj, Reda (2015-11-12) Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are composed of biological components, including genes, proteins and metabolites, and their interactions. In general, computational methods are used to infer the connections among these components. However, computational methods should take into account the general features of the GRNs, which are sparseness, scale-free topology, modularity and structure of the inferred networks. In this work, observing the common aspects between recommendation systems and GRNs, we decided to ...
Differential activation of immune cells by commensal versus pathogen-derived bacterial RNA Özcan, Mine; Gürsel, Mayda; Department of Biology (2014) Immunological mechanisms contributing to distinguishing signals derived from commensal versus pathogenic bacteria is an active area of research and recent evidence suggests that commensal and pathogens may express different variants of pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMP). In this thesis, we propose that as a major member of PAMP, bacterial RNAs derived from commensal and pathogens may have distinct immunostimulatory activities due to differentially recognition by the host immune system. In order t...
