The bacterium Erwinia carotovora is a member of the “soft-rot” group of
Erwinias and is capable of causing tissue maceration and disease among a broad
host range of plants, especially potato tubers held in storage (Ref.3).
Glutathione metabolism in E. carotovora involves both the synthesis of
Glutathione and its catabolism. Glutathione is a small molecule found in almost
every cell. It cannot enter most cells directly and therefore must be made
available inside the cell from its three constituent amino acids: Glycine,
Glutamate and Cysteine. The rate at which glutathione can be made depends on the
availability of Cysteine, which is relatively scarce in foodstuffs. Furthermore,
the Cysteine molecule has a sulfur-containing portion which gives the whole
Glutathione molecule its [...] |
