At 20 degrees C, aflatoxin B1, at a sublethal dose, decreases the activity of alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1), alpha-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20), esterase (EC 3.1.1.1), chymotrypsin (EC 3.4.21.1), leucine aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.1), and phosphoamidase (EC 3.9.1.1) biosynthesis in Bacillus thuringiensis (Berliner). In contrast, at 41 degrees C no significant decrease was observed. At this temperature, the mycotoxin is not destroyed or metabolized and bacterial cells are resistant to the toxin.

The enzymatic activities of 53 strains of Pseudomonas cepacia were determined by using the API ZYM system. Strong alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, butyrate esterase, caprylate esterase, myristate lipase, leucine arylamidase, and phosphoamidase activities were consistently detected in all strains. Weak activities were observed for valine arylamidase, beta-glucosidase, and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase. No activities could be demonstrated for cystine arylamidase, trypsin, chymotrypsin, alpha-galactosidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, alpha-glucosidase, alpha-mannosidase, and alpha-fucosidase. Enzymatic activities of pseudomonads may provide useful information about their pathogenesis and information for identification of Pseudomonas species.

A conjugate of hippuryllysine (HP) and adenylic acid was synthesized and purified. The structure of the conjugate, hippuryllysyl(N-epsilon-5'-phospho)adenosine (HLAMP) was established using 31P nuclear magnetic resonance, UV spectroscopy, acid/base lability, and enzyme digestion with AMP deaminase, alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, and a phosphoamidase activity recently identified in Dictyostelium discoideum. The results indicate that HLAMP contains a phosphoamide bond between the phosphate of AMP and the epsilon amino group of HL. Employing a microdroplet assay to assess chemotactic activity, HLAMP was found to be a potent chemoattractant of 7-h developing amoebae of D. discoideum. Other conjugates, including lysine-AMP (LAMP), tuftsin-AMP (TAMP) and avidin-AMP (AVAMP), as well as the degradation products of HLAMP (HL, AMP, and lysine) exhibited no chemotactic activity. The molecular structure of HLAMP is compared to that of other known chemoattractants of the cellular slime molds, and possible chemotactic receptors for HLAMP are considered.

Enzymatic characterization of 48 Aeromonas hydrophila complex isolates from various sources was determined with the API ZYM system (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.). All isolates lacked valine and cystine aminopeptidases, chymotrypsin, alpha-mannosidase, alpha-fucosidase, alpha-galactosidase, and beta-glucuronidase but possessed caprylate esterase-lipase, leucine aminopeptidase, acid phosphatase, phosphoamidase, and N-acetyl-beta-glucosidase. Variability was found in the presence of alkaline phosphatase, butyrate esterase, myristate lipase, trypsin, beta-galactosidase, alpha-glucosidase, and beta-glucosidase. No significant differences were evident among the enzymatic profiles of isolates from various sources.

Activity hydrolyzing both N omega-phosphoarginine and glucose-6-phosphate was detected in rat renal microsome but not in hepatic microsome. Renal microsome was solubilized with 1% n-octyl-beta-D-thioglucoside and purified with DEAE-Sepharose column chromatography. Fractions hydrolyzing both N omega-phosphoarginine or glucose-6-phosphate were subjected to 7.5%-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate. Phosphatase activity in the gels was detected by a lead nitrate stain using N omega-phosphoarginine or glucose-6-phosphate as substrates. Both substrates produced a stain in the region of the gel corresponding to a protein with a mass of 150 kDa. Extracts of slices from this region of the gel also hydrolyzed phosphocreatine, inorganic pyrophosphate, and O-phosphotyrosine. Moreover, the phosphatase had its optimal pH in the alkaline range and was inhibited completely by 20 microM sodium vanadate, 1 mM cysteine, and 1 mM tetramisole. All these properties indicate that the microsomal phosphoamidase (EC 3.9.1.1) of rat kidney was identical with alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1).

The main goal of this work was to study the influence of perfusion pressure and flow waveform during kidney perfusion, and the relationship between renal vascular resistance (RVR) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentration in the perfusate. Simultaneous constant pressure kidney perfusions were performed with either pulsatile or continuous flow at either 30 or 80 mm Hg of constant perfusion pressure. Mean flow, pressure, and RVR were displayed online during perfusion. Perfusate samples for LDH, creatine phosphatase kinase (CPK), and alkaline phosphatase (AP) determinations were taken. At the end of the perfusion, 2 ml of Evans blue was injected into the circuit to obtain images of perfusate distribution, and the kidneys were weighed. Also, hematoxylin/eosine studies were performed, showing more Bowman's space and tubular dilation in kidneys perfused with high pressure. We did not find differences in RVR between kidneys perfused at 30 and 80 mm Hg; nevertheless, perfusate distribution was better in the 80 mm Hg perfusions. We did not find any correlation between enzyme release and RVR in kidneys perfused with different mean pressures. These findings suggest that vascular resistance and LDH concentration cannot be independently considered as adequate markers of perfusate distribution.
