unusual facts about Oxidase


Thermus aquaticus

Other enzymes isolated from this organism include DNA ligase, alkaline phosphatase, NADH oxidase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, amylomaltase, and fructose 1,6-disphosphate-dependent L-lactate dehydrogenase.


Biocatalysis

Another study demonstrates how racemic nicotine (mixture of S and R-enantiomers 1 in scheme 3) can be deracemized in a one-pot procedure involving a monoamine oxidase isolated from Aspergillus niger which is able to oxidize only the amine S-enantiomer to the imine 2 and involving an ammoniaborane reducing couple which can reduce the imine 2 back to the amine 1.

Burkholderia acidipaludis

Burkholderia acidipaludis is a gram-negative, catalase and oxidase-positive aerobic, aluminium-tolerant, non-spore-forming, non motile bacterium from the genus of Burkholderia and the family of Burkholderiaceae which was isolated from the Chinese water chestnut (Eleocharis dulcis) in Vietnam and Thailand

Burkholderia ferrariae

Burkholderia ferrariae is a gram-negative, catalase and oxidase-positive, non-spore-forming, bacterium from the genus of Burkholderia and the family of Burkholderiaceae which was isolated from a high phosphorus iron ore in the Minas Gerais State in Brazil.

Chitinimonas taiwanensis

Chitinimonas taiwanensis is a gram-negative, chitinolytic, catalase and oxidase-positiv motile bacterium with a single flagellum from the genus of Chitinimonas and the family of Burkholderiaceae which was isolated from the surface water from a freshwater pond for shrimps (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) in Ping-Tung in Southern Taiwan.

Heme A

Heme A was first isolated by the great German biochemist Otto Warburg in 1951 and shown by him to be the active component of the integral membrane metalloprotein cytochrome c oxidase.

HPAO

AOC3, Amine oxidase, copper containing 3 (vascular adhesion protein 1)

M. bovis

Moraxella bovis, the pink eye, a Gram-negative, aerobic, oxidase-positive diplococcus bacterium species implicated in infectious keratoconjunctivitis in cattle

Pigmentiphaga litoralis

Pigmentiphaga litoralis is a gram-negative, oxidase and catalase-positive, facultatively anaerobic non-spore-forming, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium from the genus Pigmentiphaga, which was isolated from a tidal flat sediment in the South China Sea in China.
