Improved anaerobic use of arginine by Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Article Abstract:
Reserch demonstrates that by genetical manipulation, all four nitrogens in the arginine can be made to undergo catabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This is accomplished by bypassing normal formation of proline to glutamate under anaerobic conditions. Data show the modified strain accumulates glutamate, produces twice as much cell mass as the wild-type under anaerobic and arginine limiting conditons.

Characterization of an operon encoding two c-type cytochromes, an aa (sub)3-type cytochrome oxidase, and rusticyanin in Thiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC 33020
Article Abstract:
Research conducted on the gene encoding of the electron transfer proteins is discussed. The results demonstrate that the genes encoding four cytochrome c oxidase subunits belong to the same operon.
