beta-Galactosidase and tryptophanase can be induced in Escherichia coli simultaneously or gradually during a batch cultivation. In the strain Escherichia coli K 12 and ML 30, in which the synthesis of the two enzymes was induced simultaneously, only the synthesis of tryptophanase partially decreased, whereas the synthesis of beta-galactosidase was not influenced. In the strains B 28 and ATCC 9637 the synthesis of both enzymes was partially decreased. On a gradual induction of these enzymes in the strain Escherichia coli K 12 only the synthesis of tryptophanase decreased. Thus, the results obtained here resemble those observed during the simultaneous induction. In addition, it was found that it is not important which of the two enzymes is induced as the first one.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008190 Lyases A class of enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of C-C, C-O, and C-N, and other bonds by other means than by hydrolysis or oxidation. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 4. Desmolase,Desmolases,Lyase
D004790 Enzyme Induction An increase in the rate of synthesis of an enzyme due to the presence of an inducer which acts to derepress the gene responsible for enzyme synthesis. Induction, Enzyme
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
D005696 Galactosidases A family of galactoside hydrolases that hydrolyze compounds with an O-galactosyl linkage. EC 3.2.1.-. Galactosidase
D013862 Thiogalactosides Galactosides in which the oxygen atom linking the sugar and aglycone is replaced by a sulfur atom. Thiogalactopyranosides
D014364 Tryptophan An essential amino acid that is necessary for normal growth in infants and for NITROGEN balance in adults. It is a precursor of INDOLE ALKALOIDS in plants. It is a precursor of SEROTONIN (hence its use as an antidepressant and sleep aid). It can be a precursor to NIACIN, albeit inefficiently, in mammals.

D014368 Tryptophanase An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of L-tryptophan and water to indole, pyruvate, and ammonia. It is a pyridoxal-phosphate protein, requiring K+. It also catalyzes 2,3-elimination and beta-replacement reactions of some indole-substituted tryptophan analogs of L-cysteine, L-serine, and other 3-substituted amino acids. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 4.1.99.1. Tryptophan Indole-Lyase,Indole-Lyase, Tryptophan,Tryptophan Indole Lyase
