Bacteremia caused by Desulfovibrio fairfieldensis

Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy, 2008
Desulfovibrio species are anaerobic gram-negative, pleomorphic bacilli rarely causing infection in humans. In the present report, we describe a case of bacteremia caused by Desulfovibrio fairfieldensis. The patient, for whom biapenem was administered, rapidly improved without any sequelae.

Toxic effects of dissolved heavy metals on Desulfovibrio vulgaris and Desulfovibrio sp. strains

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2006
Biological treatment of metal-containing wastewaters with sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) is an attractive technique for the bioremediation of this kind of medium. In order to design a suitable engineering process to address this environmental problem, it is crucial to understand the inhibitory effect of dissolved heavy metals on these bacteria. Batch

Characterization of Recombinant Desulfovibrio gigas Ferredoxin

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2001
Dg ferredoxin gene was cloned using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), inserted into vector pT7-7, and overexpressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) grown in aerobic media. The recombinant protein is a dimer and contains a [3Fe-4S] cluster per monomer. EPR and (1)H NMR data of recombinant and wild-type protein are compared.

A re-examination of Desulfovibrio africanus

Archiv f�r Mikrobiologie, 1971
Contrary to previous descriptions of its properties (Campbell et al., 1966; Postgate and Campbell, 1966) Desulfovibrio africanus was found to be bipolarly flagellate, frequently semi-annular in shape and to contain, in addition to a reported soluble c-type cytochrome, particulate oxido-reducible pigments indicative of b-, c-and d-type cytochromes.

Membrane protein complex of APS reductase and Qmo is present in Desulfovibrio vulgaris and Desulfovibrio alaskensis

Microbiology, 2013
Due to their adjacent location in the genomes of Desulfovibrio species and their potential for formation of an electron transfer pathway in sulfate-reducing prokaryotes, adenosyl phosphosulfate (APS) reductase (Apr) and quinone-interacting membrane-bound oxidoreductase (Qmo) have been thought to interact together during the reduction of APS.

Periplasmic oxygen reduction by Desulfovibrio species

Archives of Microbiology, 2001
Washed cells of Desulfovibrio vulgaris strain Marburg (DSM 2119) reduced oxygen to water with H(2) as electron donor at a mean rate of 253 nmol O(2) min(-1) (mg protein)(-1). After separating the periplasm from the cells, more than 60% of the cytochrome c activity and 90% of the oxygen-reducing activity were found in the periplasmic fraction.

Electrode reaction of cytochrome c3from “Desulfovibrio vulgaris” hildenborough and “Desulfovibrio desulfuricans” norway

Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry and Interfacial Electrochemistry, 1979
Summary Cyclic voltammetry has shown that reduction-reoxidation processesof D. vulgaris Hildenborough and D. desulfuricans Norway cytochromes c 3 correspond to rather fast electronic exchanges. Two steps for the former and three (two of which are very close) for the latter are detected.

Glycerol and dihydroxyacetone dissimilation in Desulfovibrio strains

Archives of Microbiology, 1987
During growth on glycerol two marine Desulfovibrio strains that can grow on an unusually broad range of substrates contained high activities of glycerol kinase, NAD(P)-independent glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and the other enzymes necessary for the conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to pyruvate.

Purification and properties of the hydrogenase of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1956
Abstract Hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans has been purified about fifty-fold. At the highest level of purity 1 mg of protein N catalyses the oxidation of 2.6·10 6 μl of H 2 per hour by methylene blue at 34°. Purified hydrogenase was found to be activated by FeCl 2 or FeCl 3 , the increase in activity being the same with benzyl ...

Serological characteristics within the genus Desulfovibrio

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1980
Antisera were prepared against one strain each of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, D. vulgaris and D. salexigens. The antisera were tested for cross reactivity against 36 heterologous Desulfovibrio strains by both agglutination titration and by double immunodiffusion percipitin plates.
