What is a MIO test?
Motility, Indole production and Ornithine decarboxylase activity(MIO) Used for identification and differentiation of bacteria.
Why does the lysine decarboxylase medium always turn yellow regardless of the ability to produce lysine decarboxylase?
because it is asian at heart.
What is the chemical formula of ornithine?
C5H12N2O2
What compound is regenerated in the urea cycle?
Ornithine
What does L-Ornithine hydrochloride do?
Non-essential amino acid for human development but is required intermediate in arginine biosynthesis. Found in virtually all vertebrate tissues as well as incorporated into proteins, such as tyrocidine. L-Ornithine hydrochloride is also a supplement that many athletes and bodybuilders use to gain an athletic edge. Supplement websites say that adding L-Ornithine hydrochloride powders to any workout routine increases tissue growth and leads to more lean muscle mass. However, scientific studies have not shown this to be true.
What enzyme starts with the letter O?
ornithine decarboxylase
What has the author Nathan Hoskin written?
Nathan Hoskin has written: 'Polyamines and ornithine decarboxylase in carcinogenesis and neoplasia' -- subject(s): Abstracts, Carcinogens, Polyamines in the body, Ornithine decarboxylase
What is a MIO test?
Motility, Indole production and Ornithine decarboxylase activity(MIO) Used for identification and differentiation of bacteria.
What does ODC stand for?
ODC is most commonly used as an acronym for: 1. ornithine decarboxylase or 2. open database connectivity.
What has the author Enrico J Wensing written?
Enrico J. Wensing has written: 'Ribonucleotide reductase and ornithine decarboxylase mRNA expression in hydroxyurea resistant and cell cycle synchronized mammalian cells'
When would you use SIM instead of MIO?
MIO is a single culture medium in which motility, indole production, and ornithine decarboxylase activity can be determined. SIM is a signle culture medium in which motility, indole production and sulfide decarboxylase activity can be determined. These are both differential media (media that contain various nutrients that allow the investigator to distinguish one bacterium from another by how they metabolize or change the media with a waste product) so not all bacteria is going to be able to grow on ornithine or sulfide media. If the bacteria can't be grown on MIO maybe it can be on SIM
What does a high level of ornithine mean?
A high level of ornithine typically indicates a deficiency in the enzyme that breaks down ornithine, called ornithine transcarbamylase. This can lead to a condition called ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, which results in the build-up of ammonia in the blood. This condition can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
What is the chemical formula of ornithine?
C5H12N2O2
Which is the metabolic product of arginine?
The metabolic product of arginine is ornithine and urea. The amino acid arginine is degraded by the enzyme arginase into ornithine and urea. The ornithine can be converted to glutamate that is oxidized to alpha ketoglutarate before it enters the kreb cycle.
Why does the lysine decarboxylase medium always turn yellow regardless of the ability to produce lysine decarboxylase?
because it is asian at heart.
What compound is regenerated in the urea cycle?
Ornithine
What is an arginase?
An arginase is an enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of arginine to form urea and ornithine.
