The metabolism of carbohydrates by extremely halophilic bacteria: identification of galactonic acid as a product of galactose metabolism.

Abstract:

:Cell-free extracts prepared from the extremely halophilic bacterium Halobacterium saccharovorum oxidize galactose and accumulate a product which reacts as if it were a lactone. The product does not act as a reducing sugar and contains all six of the carbon atoms initially present in galactose. The product was jugged to be galactonic acid, based on the behavior of the acetylmethyl ester derivative of the product and the pentaacetyl derivative of the galactonic methyl ester during gas chromatography.

  • [Effect of monensin on the growth and secretion of exopolysaccharides in Botrytis cinerea Pers. and Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc].

    abstract::The addition of various concentrations of monensin (1,5, and 10 micrograms/mL) to the culture medium inhibits the fungal growth and perturbs exopolysaccharides secretion, provoking a decrease of production in Botrytis cinerea and an increase in Sclerotium rolfsii. The ionophore induces also modifications in both polym...
