[The effect of metal ions on the lipolytic activity of Mycobacterium rubrum and Actinomyces streptomycini]. 1976

Z H Lebedeva, and I M Volkova, and E L Ruban

Hydrolysis of olive oil by intact cells of Mycobacterium rubrum 403 and "acetone" preparations of Actinomyces streptomycini 116 was found to be inhibited by the following ions: Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Ba2+, Co2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Ni2+. Olive oil is hydrolyzed by the growing culture of Act. streptomycini 116 only in the presence of bivalent metal ions. The biosynthesis of lipase by Mycobatcerium rubrum 403 and Act. streptomycini 116 is increased twofold by magnesium ions. The biosynthesis of lipase by Act. stroptomycini 116 is stimulated also by calcium ions.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007477	Ions	An atom or group of atoms that have a positive or negative electric charge due to a gain (negative charge) or loss (positive charge) of one or more electrons. Atoms with a positive charge are known as CATIONS; those with a negative charge are ANIONS.
D008049	Lipase	An enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the reaction of triacylglycerol and water to yield diacylglycerol and a fatty acid anion. It is produced by glands on the tongue and by the pancreas and initiates the digestion of dietary fats. (From Dorland, 27th ed) EC 3.1.1.3.

D008670	Metals	Electropositive chemical elements characterized by ductility, malleability, luster, and conductance of heat and electricity. They can replace the hydrogen of an acid and form bases with hydroxyl radicals. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)	Metal
D009161	Mycobacterium	A genus of gram-positive, aerobic bacteria. Most species are free-living in soil and water, but the major habitat for some is the diseased tissue of warm-blooded hosts.	Mycobacteria
D000192	Actinomycetales	An order of gram-positive, primarily aerobic BACTERIA that tend to form branching filaments.	Corynebacteriaceae,Coryneform Group
D050356	Lipid Metabolism	Physiological processes in biosynthesis (anabolism) and degradation (catabolism) of LIPIDS.	Metabolism, Lipid
