An enzyme inactivating aminoglycosides by acetylation was isolated from S. fradiae 918 producing neomycin. By the data on the substrate specificity the enzyme was identified as aminoglycoside-3-acetyltransferase. Localization of aminoglycoside-3-acetyltransferase in the cells of the culture was determined. The enzyme could be detected in the spores and mycelium of S. fradiae already at the early hours of the fermentation process. The enzyme was not detected in the fermentation broth filtrate. The activity of aminoglycoside-acetyltransferase did not depend on the cultivation conditions providing different antibiotic production levels.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D010770 Phosphotransferases A rather large group of enzymes comprising not only those transferring phosphate but also diphosphate, nucleotidyl residues, and others. These have also been subdivided according to the acceptor group. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 2.7. Kinases,Phosphotransferase,Phosphotransferases, ATP,Transphosphorylase,Transphosphorylases,Kinase,ATP Phosphotransferases
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D005285 Fermentation Anaerobic degradation of GLUCOSE or other organic nutrients to gain energy in the form of ATP. End products vary depending on organisms, substrates, and enzymatic pathways. Common fermentation products include ETHANOL and LACTIC ACID. Fermentations
D000123 Acetyltransferases Enzymes catalyzing the transfer of an acetyl group, usually from acetyl coenzyme A, to another compound. EC 2.3.1. Acetyltransferase
