Pichia anomala NCYC 432 secretes a killer toxin which is inhibitory to a variety of yeasts including pathogenic Candida spp. The killer toxin in the culture supernatant was concentrated by ultratiltration and purified to homogenity by two successive gel filtration chromatographies with a TSK G2000SW column. Biochemical characterization of the toxin showed that it is a glycosylated protein with a molecular mass of 47 kDa and pI values of 3.4 and 3.7. The toxin showed high stability at pH values between 3 and 5.5 and up to 37 degrees C. Its N-terminal amino acid sequencing yielded the sequence GDYWDYQNDKIR which is 100% identical with that of mature exo-beta-1,3-glucanase (accession no. AJ222862) of P. anomala strain K. The toxin displayed high activity against laminarin thus showing a beta-glucanase activity. The Michaelis constants K-m and V-max for laminarin hydrolysis were 0.3 mg ml(-1) and 350 mu mol min(-1) mg(-1). (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Bacilysin biosynthesis by a partially-purified enzyme fraction from Bacillus subtilis Yazgan, A; Özcengiz, Gülay; Ozcengiz, E; Kilinc, K; Marahiel, MA; Alaeddinoglu, NG (Elsevier BV, 2001-10-04) Biosynthesis of dipeptide antibiotic bacilysin by a partially purified enzyme prepared from Bacillus subtilis PY79 was studied. Cell material was desintegrated by treatment with lysozyme and sonication and the extract was subjected to ammonium sulfate fractionation. Bacilysin-synthesizing enzyme activity was precipitated between 40% to 70% ammonium sulfate saturation. In vitro enzymatical synthesis of bacilysin was confirmed by performing thin layer chromatographic comparison of the antibiotic formed with t...
Enzymic activity of the K5-type yeast killer toxin and its characterization Izgu, F; Altinbay, D; Sertkaya, A (Informa UK Limited, 2005-11-01) K5-type yeast killer toxin secreted by P. anomala NCYC 434 cells has a broad killing spectrum. Competitive inhibiton of killer activity showed that glucans, mainly the beta-1,3 glucan, represent the primary toxin binding site within the cell wall of sensitive cells. Its hydrolytic activity on laminarin in an exo-like fashion revealed that the toxin exerts its killing effect by exo-beta-1,3-glucanase activity. Its specific activity on laminarin was 120U/mg, and the Michaelis constants K-m, and V-max for lami...
Overexpression of serine alkaline protease encoding gene in Bacillus species: performance analyses Çalık, Pınar; Ozdamar, TH (Elsevier BV, 2003-12-02) Bacillus species carrying subC gene encoding serine alkaline protease (SAP) enzyme were developed in order to increase the yield and selectivity in the bioprocess for SAP production. For this aim, subC gene was cloned into pHV1431 Escherichia coli-Bacillus shuttle vector, and transferred into nine host Bacillus species, i.e. B. alvei, B. amyloliquefaciens, B. badius, B. cereus, B. coagulans, B. firmus, B. licheniformis, B. sphaericus and B. subtilis. The influence of the host Bacillus species on SAP product...
Molecular evaluation and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Escherichia coli isolates from food products in Turkey Kyere, Emmanuel Owusu; Bulut, Ece; AVŞAROĞLU ERKAN, MÜRŞİDE DİLEK; Soyer, Yeşim (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-06-01) Some strains of Escherichia coli can be important food borne pathogens. Characterization and antimicrobial resistance testing of 28 E. coli isolates from random food samples obtained in Van, Turkey were performed. Primers for 6 indicator genes (fliC, stx1, stx2, eae, hlyA, and rfbE) for shiga toxin-producing E. coli and 5 indicator genes for each pathogroup (bfpA, aggR, ipaH, daaD, st, and lt) were used. E. coli isolates were also typed using pulsed field gel electrophoresis with the XbaI restriction enzyme...
Preparation of cross-linked tyrosinase aggregates Aytar, Burcu Selin; Bakir, Ufuk (Elsevier BV, 2008-02-01) Tyrosinase from mushroom was immobilized as a cross-linked enzyme aggregate (CLEA) via precipitation with ammonium sulfate and cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. The effects of precipitation and cross-linking on CLEA activity were investigated and the immobilized tyrosinase was characterized. Sixty percent ammonium sulfate saturation and 2% glutaraldehyde were used; a 3-h cross-linking reaction at room temperature, at pH 7.0 was performed; particle sizes of the aggregates were reduced; consequently, 100% ac...
