Reduction of bilirubin ditaurate by the intestinal bacterium Clostridium perfringens.
Bilirubin is degraded in the human gut by microflora into urobilinoids. In our study we investigated whether the bilirubin-reducing strain of Clostridium perfringens can reduce bilirubin ditaurate (BDT), a bile pigment of some lower vertebrates, without hydrolysis of the taurine moiety. C. perfringes was incubated under anaerobic conditions with BDT; reduction products were quantified by spectr...
متن کاملImproved medium for sporulation of Clostridium perfringens.
An improved sporulation medium has been developed in which all five strains of Clostridium perfringens tested exhibited a 100- to 10,000-fold increase in numbers of spores when compared with spore yields in SEC medium under comparable conditions. In addition, three of five strains produced a 100- to 1,000-fold increase, with the remaining two strains yielding approximately the same numbers of s...
متن کاملImproved medium for enumeration of Clostridium perfringens.
An improved selective medium, Tryptose-sulfite-cycloserine (TSC) agar, for the enumeration of Clostridium perfringens is described. It consists of the same basal medium as Shahidi-Ferguson-perfringens (SFP) agar, but with 400 mug of D-cycloserine per ml substituted for the kanamycin and polymyxin. Tolerance of C. perfringens for D-cycloserine, its production of lecithinase, and its ability to r...
متن کاملEvaluation of the efficacy of yeast extract in reducing intestinal Clostridium perfringens levels in broiler chickens.
The etiological agent of necrotic enteritis is Clostridium perfringens. Traditionally, necrotic enteritis is controlled with in-feed antibiotics. However, increasing consumer demand for drug-free poultry has fostered the search for nonantibiotic alternatives. Yeast extract contain nucleotides that are immunomodulatory and also essential for cellular functions. An experiment was conducted to eva...
متن کاملLysis of modified walls from Lactobacillus fermentum.
The N and O substitution in wall peptidoglycan from Lactobacillus fermentum was studied in relation to growth phase, as well as the lytic activities and the effect of trypsin on them. The N-nonsubstituted sites were determined by dinitrophenylation techniques. The results indicate that an extensive substitution at the O groups takes place as cells go into the stationary growth phase, concomitan...
