Analysing the genomes of non-pathogenic microorganisms, in addition to its basic and applied scientific interest, can also shed considerable light on the study of pathogenic microorganisms. Two of ...the three microorganisms described here are rarely pathogenic, but carry genetic determinants that have previously been identified as being important for the pathogenicity of other microorganisms. This underlines the growing understanding that many so-called 'virulence genes' are probably involved in more general interactions between the microorganism and the host or the environment.
Genomes from environmental, industrial and pathogenic bacteria are discussed this month, emphasizing the diversity of application of this fundamental tool of microbiology.

This month we look at the analyses of six bacterial genomes across three genera. Previously neglected by genomics, Legionella research was recently boosted by the publication of the complete genome ...sequences of three strains from a single species. For Mycoplasma and Rickettsia, on the other hand, several genome sequences are already available and here we see how primary genome annotations and publications are pushing new levels of sophistication.

Journal Article
The heterotrophic nitrifier Paracoccus denitrificans expresses a membrane-associated ammonia monooxygenase. The active enzyme has been solubilized in the detergent dodecyl-beta-D-maltoside and ...purified by standard chromatographic techniques. This is the first purification of an ammonia monooxygenase. The enzyme consists of two subunits with molecular masses of 38 and 46 kDa. The purified enzyme is a quinol oxidase, is inhibited by light and a variety of chelating agents and is activated by cupric ions. These properties indicate that this enzyme has similarities to a family of enzymes including the ammonia monooxygenase from Nitrosomonas europaea and the particulate methane monooxygenase from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath).
