Bacteriocinogenesis in Bacillus megaterium [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1957 SUMMARY: A strain of Bacillus megaterium has been found under certain conditions to liberate a bacteriocin-like agent which has been termed ‘megacin’. The conditions necessary for induction of megacin formation in this strain are reminiscent of those leading to induction of bacteriophage in other (lysogenic) strains of the same species.

The Filamentous Forms of Bacillus megaterium [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1954 SUMMARY: The fine filaments of Bacillus megaterium are shown to arise from large basal cells: they have paired nuclear bodies within walls differing in composition from those of the normal vegetative cells. No evidence was found for any sexual fusion of these filaments.

Biosurfactant production by a Bacillus megaterium strain. [PDF]
Open Life Sci, 2020 AbstractThe aim of the present study was to investigate the ability of Bacillus megaterium IBBPo17 (GenBank KX499518) cells to produce biosurfactant when the growth was done in the presence of long-chain n-alkane n-hexadecane on medium supplemented with yeast extract, proteose peptone, starch, or cellulose.

Phosphatidyltransferase activity in Bacillus megaterium [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1991 Phosphatidyl transfer between phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol or phosphatidylserine as donors and primary hydroxyl acceptors including ethanolamine, glycerol, serine and Triton X-100 has been shown to be catalysed by membrane particles derived from Bacillus megaterium strains ATCC 13632 and ATCC 14581.

Transposition of Tn917 in Bacillus megaterium [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1986 Transposon Tn917, carried on plasmid pTV1, was introduced into Bacillus megaterium and transposed efficiently and apparently randomly. Insertional mutations included at least eight different auxotrophic loci, two carbon source loci, and sporulation loci. One trp::Tn917 mutation was further verified as an insertion by both reversion and transduction.

Megacinogenic plasmids of Bacillus megaterium [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1983 Megacins A-216 and A-19213 in Bacillus megaterium are plasmid encoded, as shown by analysis of cured, non-megacinogenic (Meg-) derivatives of strains 216 and ATCC 19213 and by polyethylene glycol-mediated protoplast transformation of Meg- bacteria with plasmid DNA.

Tryptophan catabolism in Bacillus megaterium [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1975 Bacillus megaterium grows in a medium containing L-tryptophan as the sole carbon, nitrogen, and energy source. Kynurenine, anthranilic acid, and catechol are metabolic intermediates, suggesting that this organism used the anthranilic acid pathway for tryptophan degradation.

Biosynthesis of phospholipids in Bacillus megaterium [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1979 Information on the biosynthesis of phospholipids in bacteria has been derived principally from the study of Escherichia coli and other gram-negative organisms. We have now carried out a detailed study of the pathways of phospholipid biosynthesis in the gram-positive organism Bacillus megarterium KM in relation to investigations on the biogenesis of ...

Cyanide Metabolism by Bacillus megaterium [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1969 Cyanide disappears from a medium supporting actively growing cells of Bacillus megaterium, a bacterium isolated from a cyanide enrichment medium containing Fargo clay soil. Whole cells of this organism convert K14CN to asparagine-14C, aspartic acid-14C and 14CO2.

The Nutrition of Bacillus megaterium and Bacillus cereus [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1972 Summary: Out of nine strains of Bacillus megaterium from culture collections, only five grew in a minimal medium that contained glucose and ammonium sulphate as principal nutrients. One strain required biotin, while three other strains required two or more amino acids for growth. A freshly isolated strain of B. megaterium required three amino acids for
