Metabolite Fingerprinting of Eugenia jambolana Fruit Pulp Extracts using NMR, HPLC-PDA-MS, GC-MS, MALDI-TOF-MS and ESI-MS/MS Spectrometry.

Yeast 29(10) , 435-42, (2012)

Eugenia jambolana, commonly known as 'jamun' or Indian blackberry, is an important source of bioactive compounds. All parts of the plant like stem bark, leaves, flower, fruit pulp and seeds are traditionally used for many diseases. Metabolite profiling in med...

Metabolic effects of inhibitors of two enzymes of the branched-chain amino acid pathway in Salmonella typhimurium.

J. Bacteriol. 178(4) , 1187-96, (1996)

The metabolic effects of inhibitors of two enzymes in the pathway for biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids were examined in Salmonella typhimurium mutant strain TV105, expressing a single isozyme of acetohydroxy acid synthase (AHAS), AHAS isozyme II. On...

Acetolactate synthase from Bacillus subtilis serves as a 2-ketoisovalerate decarboxylase for isobutanol biosynthesis in Escherichia coli.

Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 75(19) , 6306-11, (2009)

A pathway toward isobutanol production previously constructed in Escherichia coli involves 2-ketoacid decarboxylase (Kdc) from Lactococcus lactis that decarboxylates 2-ketoisovalerate (KIV) to isobutyraldehyde. Here, we showed that a strain lacking Kdc is sti...

Catalytic acid-base groups in yeast pyruvate decarboxylase. 2. Insights into the specific roles of D28 and E477 from the rates and stereospecificity of formation of carboligase side products.

Biochemistry 40(25) , 7369-81, (2001)

Yeast pyruvate decarboxylase (YPDC), in addition to forming its metabolic product acetaldehyde, can also carry out carboligase reactions in which the central enamine intermediate reacts with acetaldehyde or pyruvate (instead of the usual proton electrophile),...

Formation of diacetyl and acetoin by Lactococcus lactis via aspartate catabolism.

J. Appl. Microbiol. 104(1) , 171-7, (2008)

To verify whether diacetyl can be produced by Lactococcus lactis via amino acid catabolism, and to investigate the impact of the pH on the conversion.Resting cells of L. lactis were incubated in reaction media at different pH values, containing L-aspartic aci...

Diacetyl and alpha-acetolactate overproduction by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis mutants that are deficient in alpha-acetolactate decarboxylase and have a low lactate dehydrogenase activity.

Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 66(12) , 5518-20, (2000)

Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis strains are utilized in several industrial processes for producing the flavoring compound diacetyl or its precursor alpha-acetolactate. Using random mutagenesis with nitrosoguanidine, we selected mutants t...

Method for the simultaneous assay of diacetyl and acetoin in the presence of alpha-acetolactate: application in determining the kinetic parameters for the decomposition of alpha-acetolactate.

J. Biosci. Bioeng. 99(5) , 502-7, (2005)

A simultaneous assay method for diacetyl and acetoin was developed to investigate the formation of diacetyl during the brewing of alcoholic beverages. A GC-MS analysis after the extraction from neutralized sample by ethyl acetate gave accurate assay results. ...

Synthesis with good enantiomeric excess of both enantiomers of alpha-ketols and acetolactates by two thiamin diphosphate-dependent decarboxylases.

Bioorg. Chem. 34(6) , 380-93, (2006)

In addition to the decarboxylation of 2-oxo acids, thiamin diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent decarboxylases/dehydrogenases can also carry out so-called carboligation reactions, where the central ThDP-bound enamine intermediate reacts with electrophilic substrates....

Monitoring the acetohydroxy acid synthase reaction and related carboligations by circular dichroism spectroscopy.

Anal. Biochem. 342(1) , 126-33, (2005)

Acetohydroxy acid synthase (AHAS) and related enzymes catalyze the production of chiral compounds [(S)-acetolactate, (S)-acetohydroxybutyrate, or (R)-phenylacetylcarbinol] from achiral substrates (pyruvate, 2-ketobutyrate, or benzaldehyde). The common methods...

An improved method for screening alpha-acetolactate producing mutants.
