[Utilization of trimethylammonium-compounds by Acinetobacter calcoaceticus (author's transl)].

Abstract:

:The utilization of carnitine and carnitine derivatives (O-acylcarnitines, carnitine carboxylderivatives) and structure-related trimethylammonium-compounds (betaines and nitrogen-bases) by Acinetobacter calcoaceticus was studied by means of the control of growth and the quantitative detection of metabolites. The strain grew only on L-carnitine, L-O-acylcarnitines, and gamma-butyrobetaine as the sole carbon sources. The utilization of these compounds and the growth correlated with the cleavage of the C-N bond and thereby with the formation of trimethylamin. D-Carnitine was metabolized, if an additional carbon source, like L-carnitine, was present in the incubation mixture, or if the bacteria were preincubated with L- or DL-carnitine, but no growth was observed on D-carnitine as the sole carbon source. The bacteria oxidized choline to glycinebetaine in the presence of additional carbon sources, glycinebetaine itself was not assimilated. With regard to the catabolism of quaternary nitrogen compounds Acinetobacter calcoaceticus shows a different pathway in comparison with other bacterial species metabolizing carnitine.
