SPOROLACTOBACILLUS NOV. SUBGEN.
- Kakuo Kitahara, J. Suzuki
- Biology
- 1 March 1963
A motile, spore-forming and rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from a chiken feed. The strain is Gram-positive, catalase-negative and is a typical homo-lactic acid fermenter producing leavo-rotatory… Expand
PURIFICATION AND PROPERTIES OF LACTIC DEHYDROGENASE OF LACTOBACILLUS CASEI
- S. Mizushima, Kakuo Kitahara
- Biology
- 1 July 1962
1. From the cells of a strain of Lactobacillus casei, three kinds of lactic dehydrogenase were isolated. These are (i) a flavin-containing D-lactic dehydrogenase, (ii) a flavin-containing L-lactic… Expand
Studies on DL-Forming Lactic Acid Bacteria. Part III
- A. Ôbayashi, Kakuo Kitahara
- Chemistry
- 1959
(1)Lactobacillus sakeのラセミアーゼ形成について実験を行い,本菌のラセミアーセは一種の適応酵素であることを認めた. (2)本酵素の誘起にはこの菌が本来生成すべきL (+)-乳酸のみが有効であるが,一旦形成されたラセミアーゼはD-, L-両乳酸に殆んど同じ活度で作用する. (3) D(-)-乳酸は強くラセミアーゼ形成を妨げるし,… Expand
AUTO-SPHEROPLASTIZATION AND CELL-PERMEATION IN SPOROLACTOBACILLUS INULINUS
- Kakuo Kitahara, T. Toyota
- Biology
- 1972
Tadpole-like cells of Sporolactobacillus inulinus are nothing but partial spheroplasts formed by the imbalance between cell-elongation and cell-wall formation. This phenomenon was termed… Expand
