Nitrocompound activation by cell-free extracts of nitroreductase-proficient Salmonella typhimurium strains.
A characterization of nitrocompounds activation by cell-free extracts (CFE) of wild-type (AB(+)), SnrA deficient (B(+)), Cnr deficient (A(+)) and SnrA/Cnr deficient (AB(-)) Salmonella typhimurium strains has been done. The Ames mutagenicity test (S. typhimurium his(+) reversion assay) was used, as well as nitroreductase (NR) activity determinations where the decrease in absorbance generated by ...
متن کاملMethionine synthesis by extracts of Salmonella typhimurium.
1. Following the genetic studies by Smith (1961) and Smith & Childs (1963) with methionine auxotrophs of Salmonella typhimurium, methionine formation from homocysteine has been investigated with cell-free extracts of this organism. 2. As found with Escherichia coli (Woods, Foster & Guest, 1964), methyl groups are formed by an N(5)N(10)-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. They are then transfer...
متن کاملSalmonella typhimurium and Salmonella enteritidis strains
Salmonella is a facultative intracellular pathogen that causes a variety of infectious diseases. The most common of such diseases is gastroenteritis, with bacterial multiplication in intestinal submucosae and diarrhea, caused by the inflammatory response and perhaps also by toxins. In specific hosts, adapted salmonellae produce systemic diseases such as typhoid and paratyphoid fevers in humans....
متن کاملInvestigating antimicrobial effect of Zataria extracts produced by ultrasound on salmonella typhimurium
Introduction: Zataria multiflora is a plant of the Lamias family. The most effective antimicrobial composition is its thymol and carvacrol. Salmonella typhimurium is a genus of Salmonella from the Enterobacteriaceae family. This gram-negative basil, optional aerobic or anaerobic, cause diseases such as inflammation of the intestine, systemic infection, and intestinal fever. Th...
متن کاملTransfectability of rough strains of Salmonella typhimurium.
Cells of rough (but not smooth) strains of Salmonella typhimurium become competent for transfection by phage P22 deoxyribonucleic acid after treatment with 0.1 M CaCl2. The yield of infectious centers is about 10(-8) per genome equivalent of deoxyribonucleic acid. However, different sorts of rough strains vary in their ability to become competent in a fashion that can be correlated with the lev...
