    Metabolism of amino acid amides in Pseudomonas putida ATCC 12633

    The metabolism of the natural amino acid L-valine, the unnatural amino acids D-valine, and D-, L-phenylglycine (D-, L-PG), and the unnatural amino acid amides D-, L-phenylglycine amide (D, L-PG-NH2) and L-valine amide (L-Val-NH2) was studied in Pseudomonas putida ATCC 12633. The organism possessed constitutive L-amidase activities towards L-PG-NH2 and L-Val-NH2, both following the same pattern of expression, suggesting the involvement of similarly regulated enzymes, or a common enzyme. Quite surprisingly, growth in mineral media with L-PG-NH2 resulted in variable, long lag phases of growth and strongly reduced L-amidase activities. Conversion of D-PG-NH2 into D-PG and L-PG also occurred and could be attributed to the presence of an inducible D-amidase and the racemization of the amino acid amide in combination with L-amidase activity, respectively. The further degradation of L-PG and D-PG involved constitutive L-PG aminotransferase and inducible D-PG dehydrogenase activities, respectively, both with a high degree of enantioselectivity. Amino acid racemase activity for D- and L-PG was not detected.

    Transitive and Co-Transitive Caps

    Full text link
    A cap in PG(r,q) is a set of points, no three of which are collinear. A cap is said to be transitive if its automorphism group in PGammaL(r+1,q) acts transtively on the cap, and co-transitive if the automorphism group acts transtively on the cap's complement in PG(r,q). Transitive, co-transitive caps are characterized as being one of: an elliptic quadric in PG(3,q); a Suzuki-Tits ovoid in PG(3,q); a hyperoval in PG(2,4); a cap of size 11 in PG(4,3); the complement of a hyperplane in PG(r,2); or a union of Singer orbits in PG(r,q) whose automorphism group comes from a subgroup of GammaL(1,q^{r+1}).Comment: To appear in The Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society - Simon Stevi

    A characterization of Hermitian varieties as codewords

    Get PDF
    It is known that the Hermitian varieties are codewords in the code defined by the points and hyperplanes of the projective spaces PG(r,q2)PG(r,q^2). In finite geometry, also quasi-Hermitian varieties are defined. These are sets of points of PG(r,q2)PG(r,q^2) of the same size as a non-singular Hermitian variety of PG(r,q2)PG(r,q^2), having the same intersection sizes with the hyperplanes of PG(r,q2)PG(r,q^2). In the planar case, this reduces to the definition of a unital. A famous result of Blokhuis, Brouwer, and Wilbrink states that every unital in the code of the points and lines of PG(2,q2)PG(2,q^2) is a Hermitian curve. We prove a similar result for the quasi-Hermitian varieties in PG(3,q2)PG(3,q^2), q=phq=p^{h}, as well as in PG(r,q2)PG(r,q^2), q=pq=p prime, or q=p2q=p^2, pp prime, and r≥4r\geq 4
