    摘要: A method is disclosed for reducing the oxygen content of a medium in which are present cells, usually anaerobic microorganisms, to extend the time during which the cells remain viable. The method comprises having in fluid contact with the aqueous medium an effective amount of an oxidase and substrate for the oxidase. The oxidase and substrate for the oxidase in an aqueous medium can be in fluid, e.g., air, contact with a separately contained aqueous medium in which the cells are present. Alternatively, the cells can be present in the same aqueous medium as the oxidase and substrate for the oxidase. The aqueous medium containing the oxidase and the substrate for the oxidase can further contain a hydrogen peroxide scavenger in an effective amount. A composition in accordance with the invention comprises in a liquid medium viable cells, such as anaerobic microorganisms, an oxidase and its substrate in an amount sufficient to retain the viability of the cells, and a hydrogen peroxide scavenger in an amount sufficient to reduce the level of hydrogen peroxide generated by the oxidase. The method of the invention has particular application in transport media used for transporting microbiological specimens.

    摘要: A newly discovered and isolated heat-stable NAD(P) + . linked secondary alcohol-specific dehydrogenase enzyme is derived from microorganisms grown under aerobic conditions in a culture medium containing a carbon-containing compound having at least two carbon atoms, preferably a C 2 -C 10 alkane or a C 2 -C 10 alkyl radical donating compound, as the major carbon and energy source. The purified form of this enzyme, in the presence of NAD(P) + , is capable of converting primary and secondary alcohols, diols and aldehydes to their corresponding oxidation products and acetone to propanol. In addition, a newly discovered NAD(P) + -linked primary alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme can be isolated from the same microorganism source.

    摘要: Catalase and pyranose-2-oxidase may be stabilized according to the invention by means of chemical treatment which render the enzymes resistant to thermal inactivation or inactivation of glucosone or both. Stabilized catalase crosslinked with diimido esters, such as dimethyl suberimidate and dimethyl adipimidate, is described. Stabilized pyranose-2-oxidase amidinated with an amidinating agent, such as ethyl acetimidate, is also described. The invention includes the production of such enzymes and their use in an improved process for producing glucosone from glucose.
