Disease relevance of Sarcina

• NP (median lethal dose to Sprague-Dawley rat: 21 mg/kg body wt) is 80 times more toxic than its parent compound phenacetin and is directly mutagenic to bacterial cells including Salmonella typhimurium and Sarcina lutea [1].
• It was found that (i) all the gram-positive strains tested, Staphylococcus aureus, Sarcina lutea, Bacillus stearothermophilus, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus megaterium, contain neither N6-monomethyl adenine (m6A) nor N6-dimethyladenine (m26A) in 23S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) [2].
• The photosensitivity of the malate oxidase system of a pigmented strain and a carotenoidless mutant of Sarcina lutea (Micrococcus luteus) [3].
• Production of the Gram-positive Sarcina ventriculi pyruvate decarboxylase in Escherichia coli [4].
• In the present study, interference due to isonicotinyl hydrazone (HYD), an interaction product of R and isoniazid (H), was checked during microbiological analysis of R, employing Bacillus subtilis and Sarcina lutea [5].

High impact information on Sarcina

• A novel bioselective membrane electrode for L-glutamine has been constructed by coupling living bacteria of the strain Sarcina flava to a potentiometric ammonia gas sensor [6].
• A white, carotenoid-negative mutant strain of Sarcina lutea was more susceptible to the acetaldehyde-xanthine oxidase system than was the yellow, carotenoid-positive parent strain [7].
• The concentration of cefotaxime in serum was assayed by agar diffusion, with Sarcina lutea ATCC 9341 as the indicator strain [8].
• The methanol extract of Sarcina lutea, one of the most susceptible bacteria, was found to reverse the antimicrobial activity of copiamycin [9].
• Production of L-serine by Sarcina albida [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Sarcina

• We called this polymer purinogen and devised a means of assaying it quantitively [Patel, B., Sarcina, M. & Mowbray, J. (1994) Eur. J. Biochem. 220, 663-669] [11].
• 2. The plasma, bone, hip capsule and drain fluid concentrations of ampicillin and flucloxacillin were measured by a differential small plate microbiological assay method using Sarcina lutea and a penicillinase producing Staph. aureus Russell as the test organisms [12].
• Miocamycin was measured by a microbiological procedure using Sarcina lutea ATCC 9341 [13].
• In contrast to previous results with Sarcina lutea, the NCS-induced DNA degradation was stimulated by chloramphenicol in B. subtilis and the DNA fragment were not the final breakdown products, but were further degraded into acid-soluble materials [14].
• New isoprenologs of vitamin K2 series in Sarcina lutea [15].

Anatomical context of Sarcina

• The effect of white light on the malate oxidase of Sarcina lutea (Micrococcus luteus) membranes has been examined using a carotenoid-containing and a carotenoidless mutant [3].

Gene context of Sarcina

• A PDC gene from the Gram-positive bacterium Sarcina ventriculi (Spdc) was introduced into an LDH-deficient strain, L. plantarum TF103, in which both the ldhL and ldhD genes were inactivated [16].
• Drug concentrations in serum and CSF of these patients were measured by a microbiological tube dilution method using a strain of Sarcina lutea [17].
• In the laboratory study, polished and etched bovine enamel specimens were stained for 4 days with a coffee, tea, and mucin, Sarcina lutea tartox culture in trypticase soy broth [18].
