High-level production of recombinant glucose isomerase (rGI) is desirable for lactulose synthesis. In this study, the xylA gene encoding glucose isomerase from Actinoplanes missouriensis CICIM B0118(A) was cloned and expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3), and high-level production was performed by optimization of the medium composition. rGI was purified from a recombinant E. coli BL21(DE3) and characterized. The optimum pH value of the purified enzyme was 8.0 and it was relatively stable within the pH range of 7.0 - 9.0. Its optimum temperature was around 85 °C, and it exhibited good thermostability when the temperature was lower than 90 °C. The maximum enzyme activity required the presence of both Co2+ and Mg2+, at the concentrations of 200 μM and 8 mM, respectively. With high-level expression and the simple one-step chromatographic purification of the His-tagged recombinant enzyme, this GI could be used in industrial production of lactulose as a potential economic tool

Arthrobacter strain N.R.R.L. B3728 superproduces a D-xylose isomerase that is also a useful industrial D-glucose isomerase. The gene (xylA) that encodes it has been cloned by complementing a xylA mutant of the ancestral strain, with the use of a shuttle vector. The 5′ region shows strong sequence similarity to Escherichia coli consensus promoters and ribosome-binding sequences and allows high levels of expression in E. coli. The coding sequence shows similarity to those for other D-xylose isomerases and is followed by 22 nucleotide residues with stop codons in each reading frame, a good ‘consensus’ ribosome-binding site and an open reading frame showing similarity to those of known D-xylulokinases (xylB). Studies on the expression of the cloned gene in Arthrobacter and in E. coli suggest that the two genes are part of a xyl operon regulated by a repressor that is defective in strain B3728. Codon usage in these two genes, and in another open reading frame (nxi) that was adventitiously isolated during early cloning attempts, shows some characteristic omissions and a strong G + C preference in redundant positions.

Abstract Energy-rich foods lead to an increase of overweight people in our societies. Mainly the fat and sugar content in foods is responsible for this progress. However, both components are very important for the taste and acceptance of foods. Thus, the abundant available lactose will be enzymatically modified by using the enzymes β-galactosidase, L-arabinose isomerase and glucose isomerase in order to generate a new natural sugar syrup. The new sugar mixture will be much sweeter than lactose.

Two month, eight month and two year old rats were treated with 10 or 20 mg/kg of E. Coli endotoxin I. P. The eight month old rats proved most resistant to the endotoxin. During fixation the aorta, carotid artery, basil arartery of the brain, coronary vessels of the heart, inner surfaces of the heart chambers, heart and skeletal muscle, lung, liver, kidney, spleen, brain, retina, trachae, intestine, salivary gland, adrenal gland and gingiva were treated with ruthenium red or alcian blue to preserve the mucopolysaccharide (MPS) coating. Five, 8 and 24 hrs of endotoxin treatment produced increasingly marked capillary damage, disappearance of the MPS coating, edema, destruction of endothelial cells and damage to the basement membrane in the liver, kidney and lung.

The understanding of ribosome structure has advanced considerably in the last several years. Biochemists have characterized the constituent proteins and rRNA's of ribosomes. Complete sequences have been determined for some ribosomal proteins and specific antibodies have been prepared against all E. coli small subunit proteins. In addition, a number of naturally occuring systems of three dimensional ribosome crystals which are suitable for structural studies have been observed in eukaryotes. Although the crystals are, in general, too small for X-ray diffraction, their size is ideal for electron microscopy.

Bacterial viruses adsorb specifically to receptors on the host cell surface. Although the chemical composition of some of the cell wall receptors for bacteriophages of the T-series has been described and the number of receptor sites has been estimated to be 150 to 300 per E. coli cell, the localization of the sites on the bacterial wall has been unknown.When logarithmically growing cells of E. coli are transferred into a medium containing 20% sucrose, the cells plasmolize: the protoplast shrinks and becomes separated from the somewhat rigid cell wall. When these cells are fixed in 8% Formaldehyde, post-fixed in OsO4/uranyl acetate, embedded in Vestopal W, then cut in an ultramicrotome and observed with the electron microscope, the separation of protoplast and wall becomes clearly visible, (Fig. 1, 2). At a number of locations however, the protoplasmic membrane adheres to the wall even under the considerable pull of the shrinking protoplast. Thus numerous connecting bridges are maintained between protoplast and cell wall. Estimations of the total number of such wall/membrane associations yield a number of about 300 per cell.

Studies using mesenteric and ear chamber preparations have shown that interendothelial junctions provide the route for neutrophil emigration during inflammation. The term emigration refers to the passage of white blood cells across the endothelium from the vascular lumen. Although the precise pathway of transendo- thelial emigration in the central nervous system (CNS) has not been resolved, the presence of different physiological and morphological (tight junctions) properties of CNS endothelium may dictate alternate emigration pathways.To study neutrophil emigration in the CNS, we induced meningitis in guinea pigs by intracisternal injection of E. coli bacteria.In this model, leptomeningeal inflammation is well developed by 3 hr. After 3 1/2 hr, animals were sacrificed by arterial perfusion with 3% phosphate buffered glutaraldehyde. Tissues from brain and spinal cord were post-fixed in 1% osmium tetroxide, dehydrated in alcohols and propylene oxide, and embedded in Epon. Thin serial sections were cut with diamond knives and examined in a Philips 300 electron microscope.
