Tehnološki aspekti industrijske proizvodnje dječje hrane na bazi mlijeka

Idealna hrana za dojenčad - ženino mlijeko, nije uvijek praktički na raspolaganju ili ga nema u dovoljnoj količini. Kao najbolja i jedina zamjena tome mlijeku, odnosno kao sirovina za preradu u dojenačku i dječju hranu, služi kravlje mlijeko

Synthesis of pyrroloquinoline quinone in vivo and in vitro and detection of an intermediate in the biosynthetic pathway.

In Klebsiella pneumoniae, six genes, constituting the pqqABCDEF operon, which are required for the synthesis of the cofactor pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) have been identified. The role of each of these K. pneumoniae Pqq proteins was examined by expression of the cloned pqq genes in Escherichia coli, which cannot synthesize PQQ. All six pqq genes were required for PQQ biosynthesis and excretion into the medium in sufficient amounts to allow growth of E. coli on glucose via the PQQ-dependent glucose dehydrogenase. Mutants lacking the PqqB or PqqF protein synthesized small amounts of PQQ, however. PQQ synthesis was also studied in cell extracts. Extracts made from cells containing all Pqq proteins contained PQQ. Lack of each of the Pqq proteins except PqqB resulted in the absence of PQQ. Extracts lacking PqqB synthesized PQQ slowly. Complementation studies with extracts containing different Pqq proteins showed that an extract lacking PqqC synthesized an intermediate which was also detected in the culture medium of pqqC mutants. It is proposed that PqqC catalyzes the last step in PQQ biosynthesis. Studies with cells lacking PqqB suggest that the same intermediate might be accumulated in these mutants. By using pqq-lacZ protein fusions, it was shown that the expression of the putative precursor of PQQ, the small PqqA polypeptide, was much higher than that of the other Pqq proteins. Synthesis of PQQ most likely requires molecular oxygen, since PQQ was not synthesized under anaerobic conditions, although the pqq genes were expressed
