A short cylindrical array of microtubules and associated proteins found at the base of a eukaryotic cilium or flagellum that is similar in structure to a centriole. The basal body serves as a nucleation site for axoneme growth.

A daughter cell of an organism that reproduces by budding; formed by pinching off part of the parent cell.

The end of a bud distal to the site of attachment to the mother cell.

The constriction between the mother cell and daughter cell (bud) in an organism that reproduces by budding.

The formation from simpler components of glycolipid, a compound containing (usually) 1-4 linked monosaccharide residues joined by a glycosyl linkage to a lipid.

The projection formed by unicellular fungi in response to mating pheromone.

The region of a cell that lies just beneath the plasma membrane and often, but not always, contains a network of actin filaments and associated proteins.

cytochrome bc nitric oxide reductase activity

Catalysis of the reaction: nitrous oxide + acceptor + H2O = 2 nitric oxide + reduced acceptor.

The formation from simpler components of riboflavin (vitamin B2), the precursor for the coenzymes flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD).

The chemical reactions involving any of the menaquinones, quinone-derived compounds synthesized by intestinal bacteria. Structurally, menaquinones consist of a methylated naphthoquinone ring structure and side chains composed of a variable number of unsaturated isoprenoid residues. Menaquinones have vitamin K activity and are known as vitamin K2.

The chemical reactions involving siderophores, low molecular weight Fe(III)-chelating substances made by aerobic or facultatively anaerobic bacteria, especially when growing under iron deficient conditions. The complexes of Fe(3+)-siderophores have very high stability constants and are taken up by specific transport systems by microorganisms; the subsequent release of iron requires enzymatic action.
