Abstract

Several microorganisms capable of utilizing 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACPC) were isolated from soil. A bacterium which belongs to Pseudomonas accumulated cellular α-aminobutyrate with consumption of ACPC and cells incubated with ACPC medium had the activity deaminating the substrate to form α-ketobutyrate. An enzyme, ACPC deaminase, was highly purified and its molecular weight, substrate specificity and absorption spectrum were investigated. These results suggested that this enzyme was a pyridoxal 5′-phosphate enzyme which has the molecular weight of 104000 and high specificity for ACPC, Km= 1.5 mM. A yeast, Hansenula saturnus, is also capable of forming ACPC deaminase, which has a lower molecular weight, 69000, and higher Km value, 2.6 mM.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
