N-terminal amino acid sequence of mutant strainBrevibacterium sp. adipamidase
The adipamidase of a mutant strainBrevibacterium sp. R312 involved in the degradation of adiponitrile to adipic acid was purified. Its N-terminal amino acid sequence was shown to be identical toBrevibacterium sp.

Use of brevibacterium sp 19-derived amidase for the synthesis of hydroxamic fatty acids
Oleylhydroxamic acid (Oleyl HA) was produced by acylation of neutralized hydroxylamine with oleic acid in buffered or in solvent media using the broad-spectrum amidase activity ofBrevibacterium (BB) sp 19 cells.

Detoxification of cassava pulp using Brevibacterium sp. R312
Brevibacterium sp. strain R312 has an endocellular β-glucosidase, a nitrile hydratase and an amidase that can break down some cyanoglucosides. Nonsterile cassava pulp suspensions were fermented using this strain...

Exocellular β-glucosidase inducibility in a mutant strain ofCandida wickerhamii derepressed for endocellular β-glucosidase production
Candida wickerhamii produces one endocellular and one exocellular β-glucosidase. Both enzymes are repressed by glucose in the wild-type strain. In the M7 mutant ofC. wickerhamii, which was previously demonstrate...

Biosynthesis regulation of the β-glucosidase produced by a yeast strain transformed by genetic engineering
The biosynthesis of the β-glucosidase enzyme was studied in a transformed yeast obtained by cloning in Saccharomyces cerevisiae the structural gene coding for β-glucosidase in Kluyveromyces fragilis. The enzyme b...

Regulation of nitrile-hydratase synthesis in a Brevibacterium species
The regulation of nitrile-hydratase biosynthese was studied in Brevibacterium sp R 312. Enzyme biosynthesis was not influenced by any carbon and nitrogen source used in the growth medium. It was, however, repress...

Activity and regulation of an amidase (acylamide amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.4) with a wide substrate spectrum from a Brevibacterium sp.
The Brevibacterium R 312 strain has an amidase with a wide substrate spectrum previously named “acetamidase”. The study of its activity showed that this enzyme was able to hydrolyze a large number of amides into ...

A study of the inhibition of an amidase with a wide substrate spectrum and its consequences for the bioconversion of nitriles
TheBrevibacterium sp. R 312 strain possesses a nitrile-hydratase and an amidase, both with a wide substrate spectrum. These two enzymes can be used for the bioconversion of nitriles into the corresponding organic...

Purification and properties of the β-glucosidase of a yeast capable of fermenting cellobiose to ethanol: Dekkera intermedia van der walt
The intracellular enzyme β-glucosidase of Dekkera intermedia was partially purified by ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The molecular weight of this enzyme was 310,000; its optimum pH was 5.0 an...

On the role of pH in the sporulation ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae
It was demonstrated that sporulation can take place under certain conditions even at an acid pH. The lack of sporulation generally found at acid pH values appears to be due to the absence of acetic acid oxidat...

Remarques sur le métabolisme de l'acide acétique chez la levure au cours de la sporulation
We have noticed important metabolic modifications during the first 15 hours of the sporulation process of yeast in contact with acetic acid. Carbohydrate reserves, dry weight and proteins increase. On the othe...
