FURTHER MINERAL REQUIREMENTS OF STREPTOCOCCUS FAECALIS

The vitamin requirements for glycerol oxidation by Streptococcus faecalis.

Gunsalus and Sherman (1943) have shown that oxygen is necessary for glycerol fermentation for the majority of the lactic acid bacteria. These organisms, though considered devoid of those iron enzymes usually necessary when oxygen is involved as a hydrogen acceptor, could aerobically utilize glycerol. Because of the anomaly of these observations Gunsalus and Umbreit (1945) studied the mechanism ...

Phospholipids of Streptococcus faecalis.

Autoradiograms of total lipid extracts from Streptococcus faecalis ATCC 9790, harvested in the stationary phase from a medium containing (32)P-orthophosphate, showed six major spots. The corresponding compounds were identified as diphosphatidylglycerol (possibly with a penta acyl structure); phosphatidylglycerol; a provisionally identified mixture of alanylphosphatidylglycerol and of the 2'-lys...

aureus, and Streptococcus faecalis

SYNOPSIS The incidence of trimethoprim resistance in coliforms and multiresistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated in Bristol from 1970 to 1972 is low-2-3 and 1 0% respectively. The resistance is probably intrinsic; there is no evidence that it is R-factor or plasmid mediated. A single mechanism that confers resistance to both trimethoprim and sulphamethoxazole has not been detected. N...
