Journal ArticleDOI
The Cell Wall of the Pathogenic Bacterium Rhodococcus equi Contains Two Channel-Forming Proteins with Different Properties
Franziska G Riess,Marion Elflein,Michael Benk,Bettina Schiffler,Roland Benz,Natalie J. Garton,Iain C. Sutcliffe +6 more
TL;DR: This work presents the first report of a fully characterized anion-selective cell wall channel from a member of the order Actinomycetales and investigates the channel-forming properties of the investigated cell wall porins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermo-Acidic Pretreatment of Beach Macroalgae from Rügen to Optimize Biomethane Production—Double Benefit with Simultaneous Bioenergy Production and Improvement of Local Beach and Waste Management
TL;DR: The quality of biomethanation performance aligned to the composition of the source material which exhibited a low carbon/nitrogen ratio and an increased concentration of sulfur compounds, resulting in improved biomethane recovery and the feasibility of monodigestion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modification of the conductance, selectivity and concentration-dependent saturation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa protein P channels by chemical acetylation.
TL;DR: Data suggested that the basis of anion selectivity for native protein P channels is fixed amino groups, and could demonstrate a 2.5-fold decrease in single-channel conductance between pH 7 and pH 9, between which pH values the epsilon-amino groups of amino acids would start to become deprotonated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Calcium and Other Polyvalent Cations on Channel Formation by Escherichia coliα-Hemolysin in Red Blood Cells and Lipid Bilayer Membranes
TL;DR: The results led to the conclusion that the target cell recognition sites formed by the repeat region of HlyA have defined sizes and bind only ions with defined radii.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and characterization of PorH, a new cell wall channel of Corynebacterium glutamicum.
TL;DR: PorH(C.glut) contains only the inducer methionine but no N-terminal extension, which suggests that the export and assembly of the protein follow a yet unknown pathway.
