The Hawaiian and Kumato strains of Mycobacterium lepraemurium were cultivated on Ogawa egg-yolk medium, and the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activity was investigated in cell-free preparations of this mycobacterium. The enzymatic activity was mainly localized in the particulate fraction (150,000 x g pellet), and extremely low activity was found in the soluble fraction (150,000 x g supernatant). alpha-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase was not stable; the activity was lost completely when the enzyme was kept at 45 degrees C for 1 hr or stored at -70 degrees C. The enzyme reduced only NAD+ but not NADP+ by alpha-ketoglutarate, indicating the presence of NAD(+)-dependent alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase in cultivated M. lepraemurium.

D009167	Mycobacterium lepraemurium	The etiologic agent of rat leprosy, also known as murine leprosy.
D009243	NAD	A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5'-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH).

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
