    Notes: Summary NADPH dependent H2O2 formation in microsomes in the presence of chelated iron leads to formation of hydroxyl radicals. Enhancement of hydroxyl radical generation (via ferric-EDTA or sodium azide) did not result in a concomitant increase in lipid peroxidation; rather, a decrease was observed. Moreover, the hydroxyl radical scavenger DMSO did not inhibit lipid peroxidation. This comparison of hydroxyl radical formation with lipid peroxidation suggests that hydroxyl radicals do not play a part in NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation.

    Notes: Abstract. We consider the single-source many-targets shortest-path (SSMTSP) problem in directed graphs with non-negative edge weights. A source node s and a target set T is specified and the goal is to compute a shortest path from s to a node in T . Our interest in the shortest path problem with many targets stems from its use in weighted bipartite matching algorithms. A weighted bipartite matching in a graph with n nodes on each side reduces to n SSMTSP problems, where the number of targets varies between n and 1 . The SSMTSP problem can be solved by Dijkstra's algorithm. We describe a heuristic that leads to a significant improvement in running time for the weighted matching problem; in our experiments a speed-up by up to a factor of 12 was achieved. We also present a partial analysis that gives some theoretical support for our experimental findings.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. 47 Bakterienstämme wurden auf ihre Fähigkeit zur Bildung wasserdampfflüchtiger Amine untersucht. Bei 21 Stämmen ließen sich insgesamt sieben primäre Monoamine nachweisen, in erster Linie Butylamin, Amylamin und 2-Phenyläthylamin. Sekundäre und tertiäre Amine wurden nicht gefunden. 2. Von fünf aminproduzierenden Stämmen bildeten in ruhender Kultur Bacillus sphaericus und Pseudomonas fluorescens aus Aminosäuren, Sarcina lutea, Escherichia coli und Aerobacter aerogenes aus Aldehyden flüchtige Amine. Es wird angenommen, daß die Amine durch enzymatische Aminosäuredecarboxylierung bzw. Aldehydaminierung entstehen.
    Notes: Summary 1. Forty-seven bacterial strains were examined for their ability to form steam-volatile amines during growth in a complex medium. Twenty-one strains were found to produce a total of seven primary monoamines. Butylamine, amylamine and 2-phenylethylamine were present most frequently and in largest quantities. No secondary and tertiary amines were detected. 2. Washed suspensions of five amine-producing strains were incubated with some amino acids and simple aldehydes being potential amine-precursors. Volatile amines were formed from amino acids by Bacillus sphaericus and Pseudomonas fluorescens, from aldehydes by Sarcina lutea, Escherichia coli and Aerobacter aerogenes. Enzymatic decarboxylation, or aldehyde amination respectively, are likely pathways of biogenesis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. In 4 von 9 untersuchten Stämmen von Bacillus sphaericus ließ sich eine l-Valin-Carboxylyase nachweisen. 2. Einige Eigenschaften des Enzyms wurden an Acetonpräparaten von B. sphaericus ATCC 245 näher untersucht. Die Decarboxylase reagiert substratunspezifisch mit folgenden Aminosäuren: Valin, Norvalin, Leucin, 2-Amino-n-buttersäure, Norleucin, Isoleucin, Methionin, Alanin und Phenylalanin. Bei gleichzeitigem Angebot zweier Substrate läßt sich kein additiver Effekt feststellen. 3. Das pH-Optimum der Enzymkatalyse liegt bei pH 7,7–7,9, das Temperaturoptimum zwischen 50 und 60°C. 4. Die Decarboxylase wird durch Pyridoxalphosphat (PLP), in geringerem Maße auch durch Pyridoxal, aktiviert. Ohne Zusatz von PLP nimmt die Decarboxylierungsrate stetig ab, und zwar bei Leucin sehr viel schneller als bei Valin; die Decarboxylierung von Valin wird durch Leucin gehemmt. 5. Carbonyl- und SH-Gruppenreagentien hemmen die Decarboxylase. PLP schützt das Enzym in gewissem Umfang gegen die bei Leucin stärker als bei Valin progressiv zunehmende Hemmung durch Jodacetat, kann aber eine bereits eingetretene Inaktivierung nicht wieder aufheben. 6. Die Enzymaktivität ist am höchsten in ganz jungen Kulturen von Bacillus sphaericus; schon zu Beginn des exponentiellen Wachstums fällt sie steib ab.
    Notes: Summary 1. The occurrence of a l-valine carboxy-lyase in Bacillus sphaericus has been demonstrated. The enzyme was found to occur in four out of nine strains tested. 2. Some properties of the decarboxylase were studied in detail using acetonedried cells of B. sphaericus ATCC 245. The substrate-unspecific enzyme decarboxylates the following amino acids: valine, norvaline, leucine, 2-amino n-butyric acid, norleucine, isoleucine, methionine, alanine and phenylalanine. When two substrates are present simultaneously no additive effects are detected. 3. The pH optimum for the reactions is about pH 7.7–7.9, the optimum temperature between 50 and 60°C. 4. The enzyme is activated by pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) and, to a lower extent, by pyridoxal. In the absence of added PLP the rate of decarboxylation decreases continuously. The inactivation occurs more rapidly during decarboxylation of leucine than of valine; added leucine progressively inhibits valine decarboxylation. 5. The decaroxylations are sensitive to reagents known to combine with carbonyl and — SH groups. PLP protects the enzyme to some extent against a progressive inhibition by iodoacetate which is stronger with leucine than with valine. It doesn't, however, reverse inactivation already established. 6. The enzyme activity is highest in very young cultures of Bacillus sphaericus. It decreases rapidly in the early exponential phase of growth.

    Notes: Abstract Chromatium vinosum strain D, Thiocapsa roseopersicina strain 6311 and Ectothiorhodospira mobilis strain 8112 were grown anaerobically in the light with various single nitrogen sources. When substituted for NH4Cl only glutamine and casamino acids supported good growth of all strains tested. Peptone and urea were utilized by C. vinosum and T. roseopersicina, glutamate, asparagine and nitrate only by C. vinosum. The strains were able to grow with molecular nitrogen; complete inhibition of this growth was observed in the presence of alanine with E. mobilis, and of alanine or asparagine with T. roseopersicina. Glutamate dehydrogenase, requiring either NADH or NADPH, NADH-linked glutamate synthase, and glutamine synthetase were demonstrate in the above organisms grown on NH4Cl.

    Notes: Abstract Nickel was found to be required for expression of urease activity in batch cultures of Thiocapsa roseopersicina strain 6311, Chromatium vinosum strain 1611 and Thiocystis violacea strain 2311, grown photolithotrophically with NH4Cl as nitrogen source. In a growth medium originally free of added nickel and EDTA, the addition of 0.1–10 μM nickel chloride caused an increase in urease activity, while addition of EDTA (0.01–2 mM) caused a strong reduction. Variation of the nitrogen source had no pronounced influence on the level of urease activity in T. roseopersicina grown with 0.1 μM nickel in the absence of EDTA. Only nickel, of several heavy metal ions tested, could reverse suppression of urease activity by EDTA. Nickel, however, did not stimulate and EDTA did not inhibit the enzyme in vitro. When nickel was added to cultures already growing in a nickel-deficient, EDTA-containing medium, urease activity showed a rapid increase which was not inhibited by chloramphenicol. It is concluded that the (inactive) urease apoprotein may be synthesized in the absence of nickel and can be activated in vivo without de novo protein synthesis by insertion of nickel into the pre-formed enzyme protein.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Acetonpräparate von Proteus vulgaris und Bacillus sphaericus ATCC 245 sowie in geringerem Umfang Umpflanzkulturen der Pilze Claviceps purpurea und Penicillium nigricans decarboxylieren L-Methionin zu 3-Methylmeracaptopropylamin (MMPA). Die Identität des Decarboxylierungsproduktes mit authentischem MMPA wurde durch chromatographischen Vergleich und übereinstimmende Schmelzpunkte der Pikrate und DNP-Derivate gesichert. Es wird angenommen, daß die Methionindecarboxylierung durch eine substratunspezifische Decarboxylase für neutrale Aminosäuren katalysiert wird. Das entsprechende Enzym bei P. vulgaris wäre die von Ekladius et al. (1957) beschriebene Valin/Leucin-Carboxy-lyase (E.C. 4.1.1.14).
    Notes: Summary Acetone powders of Proteus vulgaris and Bacillus sphaericus ATCC 245 as well as to some lower extent washed suspensions of the fungi Claviceps purpurea and Penicillium nigricans decarboxylate L-methionine to 3-methyl-mercaptopropylamine (MMPA). Identity of the product of decarboxylation with authentic MMPA was proved by chromatographic comparison and conformance of the melting points of the picrates and DNP-derivatives. It is assumed that the decarboxylation of methionine is catalyzed by a substrate-unspecific decarboxylase of neutral amino acids. The respective enzyme in P. vulgaris would be the valine/leucine-carboxylyase (E.C. 4.1.1.14) already described by Ekladius et al. (1957).

    Notes: Abstract Batch cultures of Thiocapsa roseopersicina strain 6311, Thiocystis violacea strain 2311 and Chromatium vinosum strain 1611, grown anaerobically in the light on sulfide with urea, ammonia, N2 or casein hydrolysate as nitrogen source exhibited urease activity, while Chromatium vinosum strain D neither showed any degradation of urea nor urease activity on any of the nitrogen sources tested. In T. violacea and C. vinosum strain 1611 urease was little affected by the nitrogen source and seemed to be constitutive. In T. roseopersicina, however, the enzyme was repressed by ammonia (although a low basal level of activity remained) and, to a lesser degree, induced by urea: The presense of urea stimulated a temporary increase in urease activity in the early exponential growth phase. The highest activities, however, were found after growth on N2, and especially on 0.1% casein hydrolysate (in the absence or after exhaustion of external ammonia), but not before the stationary growth phase was reached. Derepressed urease synthesis required an efficient external source of nitrogen. In cultures of T. roseopersicina urease activity showed a periodic oscillation which depended on the repeated “feeding” with sulfide and subsequent variation in the sulfur content of the cells. The possible reasons of this oscillation are discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. Sarcina lutea ATCC 9341 setzt verschiedene einfache aliphatische Aldehyde zu den entsprechenden Monoaminen um. An Acetonpräparaten wurden einige Eigenschaften des für die Reaktionen verantwortlichen Enzymsystems untersucht. Es handelt sich um eine Aminotransferase, die die Transaminierung zwischen Aminosäuren und Aldehyden katalysiert. 2. Geeignete NH2-Donatoren sind l-Glutaminsäure und in geringerem Maße l-Glutamin und l-Asparaginsäure. NH2-Akzeptoren sind alle Aldehyde der Reihe Äthanal bis Hexanal mit deutlicher Bevorzugung von n-Butanal. 3. Das pH-Optimum der Enzymkatalyse liegt bei pH 8.5–8.7. 4. Eine Abhängigkeit der Reaktion von Pyridoxalphosphat ließ sich nicht nachweisen. Das Alter der Bakterienkultur hat keinen wesentlichen Einfluß auf die Aktivität der Enzympräparate. 5.

    Notes: Summary 1. Simple aliphatic aldehydes are converted into the corresponding monoamines by Sarcina lutea ATCC 9341. Using acetone-dried cells some properties of the aminating enzyme system were studied. The enzyme was found to be an aminotransferase which catalyzes transamination between amino acids and aldehydes. 2. l-Glutamic acid is most effective as NH2-donator, followed by l-glutamine and l-aspartic acid. All aldehydes of the series ethanal to hexanal as well as 2-methylpropanal and 3-methylbutanal are suitable NH2-acceptors, the most effective being n-butanal. 3. The pH optimum for the reaction is about pH 8.5–8.7. 4. Activation of enzyme catalysis by pyridoxal phosphate could not be demonstrated. The stage of growth of the bacterial cultures has no considerable influence on amination activity. 5. The role of the enzyme in bacterial biosynthesis of primary aliphatic monoamines is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract We discuss a novel simulation method suitable for simulating phenomena involving particle exchange. The method is a molecular dynamics version of the Gibbs-Ensemble Monte Carlo technique, which has been developed some years ago for the direct simulation of phase equilibria in fluid systems. The idea is to have two separate simulation boxes, which can exchange particles or molecules in a thermodynamically consistent fashion. We discuss the general idea of the Gibbs-Ensemble Molecular Dynamics technique and present examples for different simple atomic and molecular fluids. Specifically we will discuss Gibbs-Ensemble Molecular Dynamics simulations of gas-liquid and liquid-solid equilibria in Lennard-Jones systems and in hexane as well as an application of the method to adsorption.
