The isolation is described of pure cultures of three non-methane-utilizing methylotrophic bacteria which, together with the previously described Bacillus PM6, have a very limited range of growth substrates; these organisms are designated "restricted facultative' methylotrophs. Two of these isolates, W6A and W3A1, grow only on glucose out of 50 non-C1 compounds tested, whereas the third isolate S2A1 and Bacillus PM6 grow on betaine, glucose, gluconate, alanine, glutamate, citrate and nutrient agar, but not on any of a further 56 non-C1 compounds. Crude sonic extracts of trimethylamine-grown and glucose-grown W6A and W3A1 isolates, and of trimethylamine-grown C2A1 (an obligate methylotroph) contain (i) no detectable 2-oxogltarate dehydrogenase activity, (ii) very low or zero specific activities of succinate dehydrogenase and succinyl-CoA synthetase and (iii) NAD+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase activity. Extracts of trimethylamine-grown PM6 and S2A1 methylotrophs have (i) very low 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase specific activities, (ii) comparatively high specific activities of succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and succinyl-CoA synthetase and (iii) NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase activity but no NAD+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase activity. The activities of most of these enzymes are increased during growth on glucose, alanine, glutamate or citrate, but only very low 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase activities are present under all growth conditions. The restricted facultative methylotrophs grow on certain non-C1 compounds in the absence of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase and, in some cases, of other enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle; these lesions cannot therefore be the sole cause of obligate methylotrophy.

The article deals with oxidation of different substrates, intensity of glycolytic and glycogenolytic processes in mitochondria and homogenates of dog liver with its 2-hour exclusion from circulation under conditions of endotracheal ether-oxygen narcosis. It was established that already 30-60-minute ischemia causes a decrease in intensity of succinate, alpha-ketoglutarate oxidation and acceptor respiration, inhibiton in the activity of the citrate cycle enzymes; succinate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, isocytrate dehydrogenase. The activity of NAD-dependent malate dehydrogenasedehydrogenase and Mg2+-ATPase as well as intensity of NADN oxidation in mitochondria increase. After 2-hour ischemia the activity of Mg2+-ATPase, cytochrome oxidase and peroxidase lowers. A sharply developed glycogenolysis is accompanied by inhibition of phosphorylase activity and a two-fold stimulation of the glycolytic reactions. Peculiarities in regulation of enzymatic reactions under conditions of ischemia and their role in origin of metabolism disturbances in the liver are under discussion.

Activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDG), isocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase was found in the extracts of the cells of Bac. polymyxa 153, an organism producing polymyxin B. Dependence of the activity of the above enzymes on the carbon source in the medium, aeration conditions, strain features and culture age was shown. A low level of polymyxin B biosynthesis was observed at high activity of PDG and dehydrogenases of the tricarbonic acid cycle. Increased antibiotic production was recorded against the background of decreases values of the above enzyme activities.

Transitional steady-state investigations during changes in oxygen tension under aerobic and during aerobic-anaerobic transition conditions were carried out with the aim of finding an indicator system which separates the equilibrium from the non-equilibrium state. Of the parameters used i.e. biomass formation, CO2 production, Q02, NADH oxidase, succinate dehydrogenase, phosphofructokinase, glyceraldehyde-3 phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, only the three enzymes requiring NADH or NADP for their function fulfilled the requirements. Biomass production and CO2 formation were useful only during the aerobic-anaerobic transition period. In each case the response was immediate and the indicator systems demonstrated that a new steady state of oxygen was always obtained after 11 h which, at the specific growth rate used, was equivalent to at least two volume replacements of the growth vessel.

Lipoic acid (lip) and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (sucA) mutants of Escherichia coli K12 exhibit a requirement for exogenous succinate during aerobic growth on glucose minimal medium. Reversion studies have shown that this requirement can be suppressed by gal-linked mutations which inactivate succinate dehydrogenase. Biochemical and genetic studies confirmed that the succinate dehydrogenase gene (sdh) is affected and that suppression is mediated by the same intergenic and indirect mechanism that generates succinate independence in partial revertants of lipoamide dehydrogenase mutants (Creaghan & Guest, 1977). A series of isogenic strains containing all combinations of mutations affecting 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (sucA), succinate dehydrogenase (sdh), isocitrate lyase (aceA) and fumarate reductase (frd) in a background lacking succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase, was constructed to assess the importance of these enzymes as sources of endogenous succinate (succinyl-CoA) during aerobic and anaerobic growth on glucose. Only strains combining a deficiency in 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase with the presence of an active succinate dehydrogenase required succinate for aerobic growth. In all mutants, including the triple mutant (frd sucA aceA), the succinate requirement was suppressed by inactivating succinate dehydrogenase. The aerobic growth rates of succinate-independent strains were most affected by lack of isocitrate lyase but only two mutants (sdh sucA aceA and frd sdh sucA aceA) grew faster with added succinate: the growth yields were lowered by deficiencies in isocitrate lyase and also succinate dehydrogenase. It is concluded that very little succinate is needed for biosynthesis during aerobic growth on glucose and the requirement for relatively high concentrations of succinate (2 mM) by mutants lacking 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase or related functions stems from the presence of active succinate dehydrogenase. Anaerobically, either isocitrate lyase or fumarate reductase is essential for succinate-independent growth on glucose.

Cooling of rats down to the rectal temperature of 33--35 degrees without the use of narcotic and neuroplegic drugs did not cause distinct alterations in activity of the oxidative enzymes of tricarboxylic acid cycle--isocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, malate-, succinate- and pyruvate dehydrogenases in brain tissue. At the same time, inhibition of the activity of these dehydrogenases occurred in profound hypothermia (cooling to 19--20 degrees). In this case the activity of succinate dehydrogenase was decreased less distinctly as compared with the activity of NAD-dependent dehydrogenases. Succinic acid appears to be an especially important substrate for oxidation in brain of the chilled rats.

Glutamate induced the synthesis of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase 50-fold during anaerobic growth of Citrobacter freundii and, in the absence of glutamate, this enzyme was even more active in cultures sparged with N2/CO2(95:5, v/v). Enzyme synthesis was partially repressed when the inlet gas was passed through heated copper but totally repressed when the inlet gas was passed through alkaline pyrogallol and reduced benzyl viologen (a treatment which would remove CO2 as well as O2). Fumarate hydratase activity also decreased but alcohol dehydrogenase and the sum of the succinate dehydrogenase and fumarate reductase activities increased when residual O2 was removed from the sparging gas. Soluble cytochromes a1 and c552.5 were detected in rigorously anaerobic cultures. Thus traces of O2 which contaminate commercial compressed N2 are sufficient to induce 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase synthesis and to affect significantly the synthesis and incorporation of respiratory chain components into the cytoplasmic membrane.

The activities of twelve enzymes were measured in crude extracts from cells of Escherichia coli K-10 grown aerobically or anaerobically in a defined medium in the presence or absence of nitrate. The activities of isocitrate dehydrogenase, aconitate hydratase, 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme, and D-lactate dehydrogenase (NAD+-independent) were found to be higher in cells grown in nitrate respiration than in those in fermentation, but lower than in those in respiration. This finding may explain the incomplete oxidation in nitrate respiration and, on the other hand, suggests the operation of the tricarboxylic acid even under these conditions. The activities of succinate dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase in relation to the formation of fermentation product were as high in cells grown in fermentation as in those in respiration and were low in those in nitrate respiration. However, that ratio of the activities in the latter case to the activities in respiration was the same as the ratio for most enzymes in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. The level of lactate dehydrogenase (NAD+-dependent) was not affected by nitrate respiration but its activity in the extract was inhibited by nitrate and nitrite. The absence of lactate in the anaerobic culture with nitrate may be due to this inhibition as well as NADH oxidation by nitrate. Levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glutamate dehydrogenase were not altered by the growth conditions and that of pyruvate dehydrogenase was low only in cells grown in fermentation.

Chemostat cultures of E. coli K-12 revealed that the metabolic change from respiration to aerobic fermentation can be obtained with increasing specific growth rate at low glucose input concentration (0.1%), or increasing glucose input concentrations at low specific growth rate (0.1 h-1). Both effects do not affect biomass formation. The metabolic change is not related to a pathway switch of glucose utilization. The increase in specific growth rate causes suppression of succinate dehydrogenase, and NADH oxidase, whereas glucose increases cause suppression of succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome a and 2-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. Both phenomena are reflected in the specific oxygen uptake rate, specific carbon dioxide production rate and respiratory quotient values. Growth limitation could be related to a maximal glucose uptake rate of the cell and thus constitutes an entirely different effect caused by high glucose input concentration.

Various mutant strains of Bacillus subtilis were used to study the induction and regulation of the transport of tricarboxylic acid cycle C4-dicarboxylates. L-Malate was the only physiological inducer and bromosuccinate was a gratuitous inducer of dicarboxylic acid transport in a succinic dehydrogenase deficient mutant. Several mutants were isolated with alterations in the ability to transport dicarboxylic acids. One of these (WK6) was defective in the ability to take up succinate when grown on glutamate minimal medium, whereas another (WK1) was inducible to high levels by extremely low levels of L-malate. Alpha-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase mutants were unable to take up dicarboxylates because of repression of transport by glutamate and (or) alpha-ketoglutarate. A mutation which resulted in increased levels of alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase partially overcame this inhibition. Glutamate did not prevent the induction of dicarboxylic acid transport by L-malate in succinic dehydrogenase mutants but was markedly inhibitory in alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase mutants.
