Bacteria of the genus Staphylococcus are facultative anaerobes that can grow aerobically and are generally catalase-positive, nonsporing, nonmotile, and fermentative Gram-positive cocci. These bacteria generally grow singly and in pairs, tetrads, or “grape-like” clusters, but may also ...
Limited proteolysis experiments with the Streptococcus sp. GlpO enzyme have suggested that this insert region may be a flexible surface loop region.;A 2.4 A resolution x-ray crystal structure of the streptococcal GlpO enzyme has been determined, along with a 2.3 A resolution x-ray crystal ...
Characterization of N~(alpha)-Benzyloxycarbonyl-L-Lysine Oxidizing Enzyme from Rhodococcus sp.AIU Z-35-1 An oxidase catalyzing conversion of N~(alpha)-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine(N~(alpha)-Z-L-lysine)to N~(alpha)-ben-zyloxycarbonyl-L-aminoadipate-delta-semialde... IS Nagasawa - 《Journal of...
Here we report that SpeB, a cysteine proteinase secreted by S. pyogenes, is trapped by alpha(2)M bound to protein GRAB. As a consequence, SpeB is retained at the bacterial surface and protects S. pyogenes against killing by the antibacterial peptide LL-37....

Insoluble α- d-glucan, previously formed on a glass surface from sucrose by the action of cell-free d-glucosyltransferases of Streptococcus sobrinus OMZ176, was significantly removed by a purified preparation of endo-(1→3)-α- d-glucanase (mutanase) from a strain of Pseudomonas sp. Almost...
