Formation of methyl mercaptan from L-methionine by Porphyromonas gingivalis.
Methyl mercaptan production by oral bacteria is thought to be one of the main causes of oral malodor. We examined the ability of periodontopathic Porphyromonas gingivalis to produce methyl mercaptan from L-methionine and found that the invasive strains W83 and W50 produced large amounts of methyl mercaptan. We cloned and sequenced the mgl gene encoding L-methionine-alpha-deamino-gamma-mercaptom...
متن کاملDiscrimination of the oral microbiota associated with high hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan production
Both hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and methyl mercaptan (CH(3)SH) are frequently detected in large amounts in malodorous mouth air. We investigated the bacterial composition of saliva of 30 subjects with severe oral malodor exhibiting extreme CH(3)SH/H(2)S ratios (high H(2)S but low CH(3)SH concentrations, n 5 14; high CH(3)SH but low H2S concentrations, n 5 16) and 13 subjects without malodor, using ...
متن کاملOptimization of Hydrogen Peroxide Detection for a Methyl Mercaptan Biosensor
Several kinds of modified carbon screen printed electrodes (CSPEs) for amperometric detection of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) are presented in order to propose a methyl mercaptan (MM) biosensor. Unmodified, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPC), Prussian blue (PB), and Os-wired HRP modified CSPE sensors were fabricated and tested to detect H₂O₂, applying a potential of +0.6 V, +0.6 ...
متن کاملPorphyromonas gingivalis
Editorial Periodontal diseases have long been associated with an increased, yet moderate, risk for the development of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. The postulated mechanism underlying this association is the low grade systemic inflammatory response to pathogens engaged in chronic periodontal infection, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis, which may facilitate atheroma formation and t...
متن کاملHydrogen sulfide enhances ulcer healing in rats.
Hydrogen sulfide is an endogenous mediator that relaxes vascular smooth muscle, exhibits several antiinflammatory activities, and contributes to gastric mucosal defense. This study was performed to examine the role of hydrogen sulfide in the resolution of injury; specifically, the healing of gastric ulcers. Ulcers were induced in rats by serosal application of acetic acid. This elicited a marke...
