Disease relevance of Actinomycetales

 

High impact information on Actinomycetales

  • Ketoconazole and the Actinomycetales [6].
  • Many species within the order Actinomycetales contain one or more soluble cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, often substrate-inducible and responsible for a variety of xenobiotic transformations [7].
  • Several members of the Actinomycetales, including the medically important mycobacteria, produce 1-D-myo-inosityl-2-(N-acetyl-L-cysteinyl)amino-2-deoxy-alpha-D- glucop yranoside (trivial name mycothiol) as their principal low-molecular-mass thiol [8].
  • Members of the Actinomycetales were very prevalent in microcosms with xylene and Cr(VI); gene copy numbers of biphenyl dioxygenase and phenol hydroxylase (but not other oxygenases) were elevated in these microcosms, as determined by real-time PCR [9].
  • To characterize the function of the Lon protease within the Actinomycetales, a viable M. smegmatis Deltalon strain was constructed, demonstrating that lon is not essential under certain conditions [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Actinomycetales

  • Microbacterium species (formerly CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] coryneform group A-4 and A-5 bacteria) are widely distributed in the environment and rarely cause infections in humans [11].
  • Aerobic mineralization of vinyl chloride by a bacterium of the order Actinomycetales [12].
  • These strains had been initially identified as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention coryneform group B-1 and B-3 bacteria (whitishgrayish colonies of 2 mm or greater in diameter after 24 h of incubation, respiratory metabolism, absent or weak acid production from sugars, and hydrolysis of gelatin) [13].
  • These two strains along with a limited number of strains collected at the Special Bacterial Pathogens Laboratory (Division of Bacterial Diseases, Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, Ga.) may represent a subgroup of coryneform group A-4 [14].
  • Studies on Actinomycetales producing antibiotics only on agar culture. II. Isolation, structure and biological properties of N-carbamoyl-D-glucosamine (substance SF-1993) [15].
