The redox reaction involves the formation of intermediate CrIV and CrV species, with CrVI and the two intermediate species reacting with galacturonic acid at comparable rates. The rate of disappearance of CrVI, CrIV and CrV depends on pH and [substrate], and the slow reaction step of the CrVI to CrIII conversion depends on the reaction conditions. The EPR spectra show that five-coordinate oxo–CrV bischelates are formed at pH ≤ 5 with the uronic acid bound to CrV through the carboxylate and the -OH group of the furanose form or the ring oxygen of the pyranose form. Six-coordinated oxo–CrV monochelates are observed as minor species in addition to the major five- V VI coordinated oxo–Cr bischelates only for galacturonic acid : Cr ratio ≤ 10 : 1, in 0.25–0.50 M HClO4. At pH 7.5 the EPR spectra show the formation of a CrV complex where the vic-diol groups of Galur participate in the bonding to CrV.

Our results indicate that overproduction of trehalose (integrated lacI-Ptac-otsBA) above the level produced by the native regulatory system can be used to increase the growth of E. coli in M9-2% glucose medium at 37°C to 41°C and to increase growth at 37°C in the presence of a variety of osmotic-stress agents (hexose sugars, inorganic salts, and pyruvate). Smaller improvements were noted with xylose and some fermentation products (ethanol and pyruvate). Based on these results, overproduction of trehalose may be a useful trait to include in biocatalysts engineered for commodity chemicals. http://aem.asm.org/ Bacteria have a remarkable capacity for adaptation to envi- and lignocellulose (6, 7, 10, 28, 30, 31, 32, 45). Biobased pro- ronmental stress (39). A part of this defense system involves duction of these renewable chemicals would be facilitated by the intracellular accumulation of protective compounds that improved growth under thermal stress and by increased toler- shield macromolecules and membranes from damage (9, 24).

  • The Fischer Proof of the Structure of (+)-Glucose Started in 1888, 12
    The Fischer proof of the structure of (+)-glucose Started in 1888, 12 years after the proposal that carbon was tetrahedral, and thus had stereoisomers. Tools: - melting points - optical rotation (determine whether a molecule is optically active) - chemical reactions Fischer knew: - (+)-glucose is an aldohexose. - Therefore, there are 4 stereocenters and 24 = 16 stereoisomers (8 D-sugars and 8 L-sugars) - At this time could not determine the actual configuration (D or L) of sugars - Fischer arbitrarily assigned D-glyceraldehyde the following structure. CHO H OH CH2OH - In 1951 Fischer was shown to have guessed correctly. CO2H CHO H OH HO H HO H CH2OH CO2H L-Tartaric acid L-glyceraldehyde Which of the 8 D-aldohexoses is (+)-glucose??? 1) Oxidation of (+)-glucose with nitric acid gives an aldaric acid, glucaric acid, that is optically active. Therefore (+)-glucose cannot have structures 1 or 7, which would give optically inactive aldaric acids. HNO3 (+)-glucose Glucaric acid Optically active CHO CO2H H OH H OH 1 H OH HNO3 H OH Mirror plane H OH H OH H OH H OH Since these aldaric CH2OH CO2H acids have mirror planes they are meso structures. CHO CO2H They are not optically H OH H OH active HO H HNO3 HO H 7 Mirror plane HO H HO H H OH H OH CH2OH CO2H 2) Ruff degradation of (+)-glucose gives (-)-arabinose. Oxidation of (-)-arabinose with nitric acid gives arabanaric acid, which is optically active. Therefore, (-)-arabinose cannot have structures 9 or 11, which would give optically inactive aldaric acids. If arabinose cannot be 9 or 11, (+)-glucose cannot be 2 (1 was already eliminated), 5 or 6, which would give 9 or 11 in a Ruff degradation.

  • 4202-B: Nucleic Acids and Carbohydrates L-4 1 Deoxy Sugars
    4202-B: Nucleic acids and Carbohydrates L-4 Deoxy sugars In these sugars one of the OH groups is replaced by a hydrogen. 2-Deoxyribose (oxygen missing at C-2 position) is an important example of a deoxy sugar. It is important component of DNA, and lack of C-2 hydroxyl provide additional stability to it as compared to RNA as no intramolecular nuclephilic attack on phosphate chain can occur. Amino sugars In amino sugars one of the OH groups is replaced by an amino group. These molecules allow proteins and sugars to combine and produce structures of remarkable variety and beauty. The most common amino sugars are N-acetyl glucosamine and N-acetyl galactosamine, which differ only in stereochemistry. The hard outer skeletons of insects and crustaceans contain chitin, a polymer very like cellulose but made of N-acetyl glucosamine instead of glucose itself. It coils up in a similar way and provides the toughness of crab shells and beetle cases. Some important antibiotics contain amino sugars. For example, the three subunits of the antibiotic gentamicin are deoxyamino sugars (the middle subunit is missing the ring oxygen). N-Acetyl glucosamine N-Acetyl galactosamine Gentamicin, an antibiotic Cell membranes must not be so impermeable as they need to allow the passage of water and complex molecules. These membranes contain glycoproteins—proteins with amino sugar residues attached to asparagine, serine, or threonine in the protein. The attachment is at the anomeric position so that these compounds are O- or N-glycosides of the amino sugars. The structure below shows N-acetyl galactosamine attached to an asparagine residue as an N-glycoside.

The amount of fructose was found higher than the amount of glucose in most of the foods and beverages (juice, limon-flavored soda, mineral water, cola, chocolate, cookie, wafer). The highest fructose contents were found in cola (71.10 % of sugars), chocolate (52.40 % of sugars) and limon-flavored soda (48.21 % of sugars) samples. The galactose, mannitol, arabinose and xylitol were not detected in any of the examined food and beverage samples. The predominant sugar in milk drinks, jelly tots, pudding, cookie and cake samples was determined as sucrose. Maltitol was only determined in cake and jellytots samples.

We have previously developed a plas- mid-bearing strain of Zymomonas mobilis (206C[pZB301]) capable of cofer- menting glucose, xylose, and arabinose to ethanol. To enhance its genetic stability, several genomic DNA–integrated strains of Z. mobilis have been developed through the insertion of all seven genes necessay for xylose and arabinose fermentation into the Zymomonas genome. From all the integrants developed, four were selected for further evaluation. The integrants were tested for stability by repeated transfer in a nonselective medium (containing only glucose). Based on the stability test, one of the integrants (AX101) was selected for further evaluation. A series of batch and continuous fermenta- tions was designed to evaluate the cofermentation of glucose, xylose, and L-arabinose with the strain AX101. The pH range of study was 4.5, 5.0, and 5.5 at 30°C. The cofermentation process yield was about 84%, which is about the same as that of plasmid-bearing strain 206C(pZB301). Although cofer- mentation of all three sugars was achieved, there was a preferential order of sugar utilization: glucose first, then xylose, and arabinose last.

ABSTRACT Levan is an extracellular polysaccharide composed predominantly of D-fructose residues joined by glycosidic bonds. At present, there are many polysaccharides in the market primarily of plant origin. But microbial levans are more preferred as dietary polysaccharide due to its mult- idimensional application as anti-lipidemic, anti-cholesterimic, anti-cancerous and as prebiotic. In this context, in present study twelve levan producing isolates were screened out from jaggery field. Iosolate SJ8 was the highest levan producer which was studied for cultural, morphological and biochemical characterization. It was identified as Bacillus subtilis (KC243314). The optimized fermentation conditions for levan production were pH 7, temperature 300 C,100rpm and 48hrs fermentation period. At these optimized conditions the maximum levan production was 30.6mg/ml. Sugar composition of the polymer was confirmed by analytical methods and TLC. Result proved the presence of fructose as the main sugar in the polymer.
