A note on the isoprenoid quinone content of Bordetella avium and related species. 1987

M T Fletcher, and P J Blackall, and C M Doheny

The isoprenoid quinone content of isolates of Bordetella avium (four strains), Alcaligenes faecalis (one strain), Bordetella bronchiseptica (one strain) and a Bordetella avium-like organism (four strains) was determined by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. All the isolates contained ubiquinones with eight isoprene units as the major component. No menaquinones were detected.

D001884	Bordetella	A genus of gram-negative aerobic bacteria whose cells are minute coccobacilli. It consists of both parasitic and pathogenic species.

D000421	Alcaligenes	A genus of gram-negative, aerobic, motile bacteria that occur in water and soil. Some are common inhabitants of the intestinal tract of vertebrates. These bacteria occasionally cause opportunistic infections in humans.
D013729	Terpenes	A class of compounds composed of repeating 5-carbon units of HEMITERPENES.	Isoprenoid,Terpene,Terpenoid,Isoprenoids,Terpenoids
D014451	Ubiquinone	A lipid-soluble benzoquinone which is involved in ELECTRON TRANSPORT in mitochondrial preparations. The compound occurs in the majority of aerobic organisms, from bacteria to higher plants and animals.	Coenzyme Q
D014812	Vitamin K	A lipid cofactor that is required for normal blood clotting. Several forms of vitamin K have been identified: VITAMIN K 1 (phytomenadione) derived from plants, VITAMIN K 2 (menaquinone) from bacteria, and synthetic naphthoquinone provitamins, VITAMIN K 3 (menadione). Vitamin K 3 provitamins, after being alkylated in vivo, exhibit the antifibrinolytic activity of vitamin K. Green leafy vegetables, liver, cheese, butter, and egg yolk are good sources of vitamin K.
