THE ANTAGONISTIC ACTION OF ANIONS

Antagonistic action of indigenous Streptococcus mutans strains.

Dental caries is an infectious process which ultimately destroys the tooth. Streptococcus mutans is considered to be the main agent causing this disease. If microorganisms with antagonistic action on S. mutans were found, they might provide a way of avoiding or controlling the disease. Within the framework of the Oral Microbial Ecology approach, the aim of this project was to identify S. mutans...

Antagonistic Action of Opium to Belladona

scarlatina, and their pulses about 150. The girl had taken more than the boy, and her symptoms were the most severe. The stomach-pump was applied with good effect, and opium in tincture given both by mouth and enema, a few drops every hour. In about 12 hours both became gradually drowsy and fell asleep, waking nearly well. Dr. Kavanagh states:?" I have no doubt that these children took four tim...

Ionization of Proteins and Antagonistic Salt Action

In 1899 Wolfgang Paul2 and the write? independently reached the conclusion that electrolytes when acting on proteins formed ion-protein compounds. The writer anticipated that these ionproteins would explain the mystery of many life phenomena. He was especially interested in one of the most universal physiological actions of salts; namely, the antagonistic salt action, for which the annihilation...

Antagonistic Action of Bacillus subtilis Strain SG6 on Fusarium graminearum

Fusarium graminearum causes Fusarium head blight (FHB), a devastating disease that leads to extensive yield and quality loss of wheat and barley. Bacteria isolated from wheat kernels and plant anthers were screened for antagonistic activity against F. graminearum. Based on its in vitro effectiveness, strain SG6 was selected for characterization and identified as Bacillus subtilis. B. subtilis S...
