Alkyl hydroperoxide reductase, catalase, MrgA, and superoxide dismutase are not involved in resistance of Bacillus subtilis spores to heat or oxidizing agents.
Only a single superoxide dismutase (SodA) was detected in Bacillus subtilis, and growing cells of a sodA mutant exhibited paraquat sensitivity as well as a growth defect and reduced survival at an elevated temperature. However, the sodA mutation had no effect on the heat or hydrogen peroxide resistance of wild-type spores or spores lacking the two major DNA protective alpha/beta-type small, aci...
متن کاملHeat Resistance and Population Stability of Lyophilized Bacillus subtilis Spores.
Bacillus subtilis 5230 spores were lyophilized in 0.067 M phosphate buffer and stored at 2 to 8 degrees C for 9 to 27 months. The lyophilized spores were reconstituted with buffer or 0.9% saline, and the heat resistance was determined in a thermoresistometer. Lyophilization had no effect on the heat resistance of the spores but did result in a slight decrease in population (</=0.3-logarithm red...
متن کاملHeat shock proteins do not influence wet heat resistance of Bacillus subtilis spores.
Spores of Bacillus subtilis are significantly more resistant to wet heat than are their vegetative cell counterparts. Analysis of the effects of mutations in and the expression of fusions of a coding gene for a thermostable beta-galactosidase to a number of heat shock genes has shown that heat shock proteins play no significant role in the wet heat resistance of B. subtilis spores.
متن کاملResistance of Bacillus subtilis Spores to Inactivation
A statistical evaluation of viable count procedures utilized for obtaining treatment survival curve data for Bacillus subtilis NCTC 8236 spores is described. Within the various recovery conditions tested, incubation on nutrient agar containing 1% dextrose for 48 hr at 37 C was found to promote the highest count of viable spores surviving a variety of bactericidal treatments involving gamma irra...
متن کاملGalectin 1 and Superoxide Dismutase are Involved in Wound Healing by Larval Therapy
Galectin-1 and superoxide dismutase are two known molecules in the wound healing process that induce such healing by different mechanisms in the wound site. Larval therapy is one of the methods use by Lucilia sericata fly larvae, nowadays returned to the list of therapeutic methods despite chronic diabetic ulcers and antibiotic resistance of bacteria. In this study, we aimed to evaluat...
