Disease relevance of Ubiquinone 8

  • Nonspecific resistance to bacterial infections. Enhancement by ubiquinone-8 [1].
  • The incorporation of 2H- and 13C-labelled precursors into ubiquinone-8 (Uq-8) by strains of Escherichia coli was measured in order to define the pathway for the early steps in the biosynthesis of isoprenoids in these eubacteria [2].
  • The effect of exogenous ubiquinone-8 (Q8) on IgG- and C3b-mediated phagocytosis of sensitized sheep red blood cells and of opsonized Staphylococcus aureus by macrophages was studied by morphological and quantitative methods [3].
  • The NO-2 guanine-plus-cytosine content (61.5 to 62.3 mol%) and major ubiquinone analysis (ubiquinone-8) results were both consistent with those for the genus Bordetella [4].
  • Respiratory lipoquinone and cellular fatty acid analyses showed that the type strain of P. elongata has characteristics similar to those of the genus Microbulbifer, not those of the genus PSEUDOMONAS: P. elongata DSM 6810(T) contained ubiquinone-8 as the predominant respiratory lipoquinone and iso-C(15 : 0) as the major fatty acid [5].
