Construction of a Bacillus subtilis (natto) with high productivity of vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) by analog resistance.

Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem. 65(9) , 2007-15, (2001)

To invent a functional natto promoting bone formation, the construction of a strain with high productivity of vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7: MK-7), which is important in the carboxylation of a kind of bone protein participating in bone formation, osteocalcin, was...

The developmental biology of heterocyst and akinete formation in cyanobacteria.

Crit. Rev. Microbiol 9(1) , 45-100, (1981)

We will be concerned with the two major differentiated cell types of filamentous cyanobacteria--the heterocyst and the akinete. The former is generally accepted to be the site of aerobic nitrogen fixation in heterocystous cyanobacteria. The latter is a spore-...

Colonization by Salmonella typhimurium and Shigella flexneri III of the gastrointestinal tract of mice treated with beta-2-thienylalanine and streptomycin.

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek 45(4) , 531-46, (1979)

Mice fed beta-2-thienylalanine (beta-2-T) by oesophageal tube were no more susceptible to gastrointestinal tract colonization by Salmonella typhimurium or Shigella flexneri III than control mice fed water. In both beta-2-T-fed and water-fed groups, the increa...

Production of amino acids by analog-resistant mutants of the cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis.

J. Bacteriol. 147(3) , 1002-7, (1981)

Mutants of Spirulina platensis resistant to 5-fluorotryptophan, beta-3-thienyl-alanine, ethionine, p-fluorophenylalanine, or azetidine-2-carboxylic acid were isolated. Some of these mutants appeared to be resistant to more than one analog and to overproduce t...

Uptake and incorporation of amino acids by suspension cultured mammalian cells: a comparative study involving eleven naturally-occurring and four analogue amino acids.

Cytobios. 30(118) , 101-26, (1981)

Transient cell cycle arrest of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by amino acid analog beta-2-DL-thienylalanine.

J. Bacteriol. 141(1) , 100-5, (1980)

When treated with the amino acid analog beta-2-DL-thienylalanine, cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae accumulated in the G1 portion of the cell cycle at the "start" event. This G1 arrest was accompanied by a rapid decrease in the rate of labeling of r...

The assay on a defined medium of the effects of beta-2-thienylalanine on the growth of anaerobic bacterial isolates from phenylketonuric patients.

Med. Microbiol. Immunol. 168(1) , 11-24, (1980)

Faecal samples were taken from three diet-managed phenylketonuric children to determine effects of beta-2-thienylalanine (beta-2-t) on indigenous bacteria. From sample swabs, 127 anaerobes were identified and tested for beta-2-t inhibition on a phenylalanine ...

Self-assembly of a designed amyloid peptide containing the functional thienylalanine unit.

J. Phys. Chem. B 114(32) , 10674-83, (2010)

The self-assembly of a peptide based on a sequence from the amyloid beta peptide but incorporating the non-natural amino acid beta-2-thienylalanine (2-Thi) has been investigated in aqueous and methanol solutions. The peptide AAKLVFF was used as a design motif...

An investigation of position 3 in arginine vasopressin with aliphatic, aromatic, conformationally-restricted, polar and charged amino acids.

J. Pept. Sci. 5(3) , 141-53, (1999)

We report the solid-phase synthesis and some pharmacological properties of 23 new analogs of arginine vasopressin (AVP) which have the Phe3 residue replaced by a broad variety of amino acids. Peptides 1-9 have at position 3: (1) the mixed aromatic/aliphatic a...

Comparison of liquid and agar-solidified defined media regarding the physiological mechanism by which beta-2-thienylalanine inhibits growth of Escherichia, Shigella, and Salmonella cultures.

Microbiol. Immunol. 24(7) , 603-15, (1980)

Growth comparisons were made, using Shigella, Escherichia, and Salmonella cultures, in liquid and agar-solidified defined media containing beta-2-thienylalanine (beta-2-t). The comparisons were performed to determine the nature of growth inhibition by beta-2-...
