Hemolysin production and cloning of two hemolysin determinants from classical Vibrio cholerae.
The hemolytic activity of 20 classical and 3 El Tor strains of V. cholerae O1 was examined phenotypically and genetically. The El Tor strains lysed bovine, chicken, human, rabbit, and sheep erythrocytes (RBCs), while the classical strains lysed only chicken and rabbit RBCs. The assay was done with RBCs in Tris-NaCl buffer, since phosphate-buffered saline was found to inhibit hemolytic activity....
متن کاملHemolysin-destructive factor of Vibrio cholerae (Vibrio comma).
Feeley and Pittman (Bull. World Health Organ. 28:347, 1963) speculated that a hemolysin (HL) destructive enzyme produced by El Tor vibrio at a late stage of growth lowers the HL titer. We proved the production of an HL-destructive factor (HDF) by strains of classical cholera and El Tor vibrio and established an in vitro method for quantitative titration of HDF. HL was prepared by growing a hemo...
متن کاملCytotoxic cell vacuolating activity from Vibrio cholerae hemolysin.
A Vibrio cholerae cytotoxin, designated VcVac, was found to cause vacuolation in Vero cells. It was originally detected in the pathogenic O1 Amazonia variant of V. cholerae and later shown to be produced in environmental strains and some El Tor strains. Comparison of VcVac production in various strains suggested that hemolysin was responsible for the vacuolating phenotype. Genetic experiments e...
متن کامل[Cloning and expression in Escherichia coli of Vibrio parahaemolyticus thermostable direct hemolysin and thermolabile hemolysin genes].
Two hemolysin genes of Vibrio parahaemolyticus WP1, a thermostable direct (TSD) hemolysin gene and a thermolabile hemolysin gene, were cloned into the pBR322 vector in Escherichia coli K-12 C600. A large amount of the TSD hemolysin produced in E. coli K-12 accumulated in the periplasmic space. The TSD hemolysin gene was localized on a 0.9-kilobase HindIII-BamHI fragment by identifying qualitati...
متن کاملIron-regulated hemolysin production and utilization of heme and hemoglobin by Vibrio cholerae.
El Tor and non-O1 strains of Vibrio cholerae were analyzed to determine whether synthesis of secreted hemolysin was influenced by the concentration of iron in the medium. Synthesis of hemolysin was found to be iron regulated in both El Tor and non-O1 isolates. Increased levels of hemolytic activity were detected in supernatants of iron-starved cells. Spontaneous hemolysin-deficient mutants of o...
