Coenzymes
• E. coli can synthesize or make its own vitamins and convert them to coenzymes
• Humans and other animals must consume vitamins from external sources– E. coli synthesizes vitamin K which we can absorb
![Page 12: Microbial Metabolism](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568136f8550346895d9e887a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Factors that Influence Enzymatic Activity
• A cells ability to survive in extreme temperatures or pH is due to their enzymes
• Enzymes are influenced by environmental factors– Temperature, pH, and substrate concentrations– Have optimal activity ranges
![Page 13: Microbial Metabolism](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568136f8550346895d9e887a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

• Denaturation of an Active Protein
![Page 15: Microbial Metabolism](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568136f8550346895d9e887a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
pHMany enzymes work best at neutral pH.
Acetic acid pH 3.0 can act as a preservative
![Page 16: Microbial Metabolism](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568136f8550346895d9e887a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Substrate concentrationWhen the substrate concentration (enzyme food) gets to high the enzymatic activity levels off, since all enzymes are working at their maximum rate.
![Page 17: Microbial Metabolism](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568136f8550346895d9e887a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Without enzymes…
• Energy yielding reactions could occur but rates would be extremely slow
![Page 18: Microbial Metabolism](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568136f8550346895d9e887a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Allosteric Enzymes
• Cells can rapidly regulate or control the activity of key enzymes– They have an _____________that is ________
from the active site– Molecules bind and _____________________
which prevents them from working
![Page 19: Microbial Metabolism](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568136f8550346895d9e887a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Feedback inhibition
• When ______________of a biosynthetic pathway can act as an ______________of the ______________in that pathway.– Allows for controlling its own synthesis or building– Example: E. coli, the presence of the amino acid
isoleucine allosterically inhibits the first enzyme in the pathway. Prevents the synthesis of isoleucine when available. Once depleted E. coli can resume production

Enzyme Inhibition
Inhibitors can effect enzymatic activity
1. Competitive Inhibitors
2. Noncompetitive Inhibitors
Why is enzyme inhibition important?
Enzymes can be inhibited by a variety of compounds other than regulatory molecules such as allosteric regulators
![Page 22: Microbial Metabolism](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568136f8550346895d9e887a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Competitive Inhibitors • • Generally this occurs since the inhibitor has a
________________________as the substrate
![Page 23: Microbial Metabolism](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568136f8550346895d9e887a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Example
• Sulfanilamide (Sulfa Drugs)– Antibiotic– competes for the active site on bacterial enzymes that
converts PABA into Folic Acid• Has a similar chemical structure to PABA• Prevents PABA from binding to active site• Folic Acid - required for the synthesis of DNA and RNA• No Folic acid= no DNA RNA synthesis= no cell replication
– Selective toxicity: Doesn’t affect human cells since we can not synthesize Folic acid

Streptococcus– You also see clumps: indicating Staphylococcus
• What biochemical test/tests can you perform to further differentiate between the two?
![Page 29: Microbial Metabolism](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568136f8550346895d9e887a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Biochemical Testing

Catalase test• The catalase test is simply performed by
placing a few drops of H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) on bacterial growth on an agar media.
• A positive test is indicated by the formation of bubbles (H2O2 + catalase -> H2O + O2 (bubbles)

The Epic Journey of Glucose in Bacteria!By: Michael Pressler
This story begins with a 6 carbon molecule of glucose, he will become completely oxidized into CO2 while releasing ATP by substrate level phosphorylation and gaining reducing power in the form of electron carriers (NADH and FADH2).
The story does not end with out a climatic event…. When the “powered” electron carriers give their electrons to a protein in the cell membrane a bucket brigade of electron transportation occurs by passing electrons through a series of proteins called the electron transport chain. The electron transport chain develops the “force” (the proton motive force that is…) and pumps hydrogen ions out of the cell membrane. By utilizing the Terminal electron accepting abilities of Oxygen, Oxygen and hydrogen combine to form water! The hero comes in the form of ATP synthase, as she allows Hydrogen back into the cell, ATP is formed by oxidative phosphorylation!

Respiration
• 2 types– –
![Page 63: Microbial Metabolism](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568136f8550346895d9e887a/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Aerobic Respiration
• Oxygen (O2) is the final electron acceptor is aerobic respiration.
• Aerobic bacteria will generally use O2 when it is available due to the large amount of energy produced compared to using other electron acceptors.
![Page 64: Microbial Metabolism](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568136f8550346895d9e887a/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Anaerobic Respiration
• Anaerobic respiration occurs when an inorganic molecule other than oxygen is used for the electron acceptor.– Less efficient (Less ATP is generated) form of
respiration than aerobic– nitrate, sulfate, and carbonate.
• Facultative anaerobes– Can use oxygen or other inorganic molecules as
electron acceptors

Anaerobic respiration
• Methanogens • Archaea that generate ATP by oxidizing hydrogen
gas– Release methane

General Fermentation Characteristics
•
• Does not inhibit growth• Does not use Oxygen as electron acceptor
• During fermentative metabolism, _________ ______________ act as electron acceptors.
• Facultative anaerobes– Some of the Facultative anaerobes we use are obligate fermenters– Can use oxygen or other inorganic molecules as electron acceptors

Fermentation• Sometimes cells cannot completely oxidize glucose
by cellular respiration– Fermenters go through glycolysis to form pyruvic
acid (3 carbon), 2 ATP, and NADH– Pyruvic acid is oxidized to acetylaldehyde (2 carbon)
with CO2 as a by product.– NADH donate electrons and Hydrogen to
acetylaldehyde to form ethanol and NAD+

Scenario
• You observe an unknown organism growing in throughout an FT tube indicating the unknown organism is a facultative anaerobe.
• How can you determine if this organism is an obligate fermenter or if this organism is capable of switching between aerobic and anaerobic fermentation?– Oxidase test– Catalase test

Differentiating between types of metabolism: aerobic, anaerobic, or
fermentation
• 2 biochemical tests used •

Catalase Test
• Catalase is usually only present in _________ __________________
• Facultative anaerobes can be catalase positive– Obligate fermenters are usually catalase negative
• Obligate anaerobes lack catalase and superoxide dismutase – Therefore catalase negative
![Page 73: Microbial Metabolism](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568136f8550346895d9e887a/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Oxidase test• The oxidase test is used to _______________
_____________________• In aerobic respiration, ____________(electron
transport proteins) carry the electrons to O2
• This test identifies the enzyme cytochrome oxidase which is associated with cytochrome c in the ETS
• Purple is positive after adding the oxidase reagent– Must be read within 2 minutes
