چکیده

Thioglycerol inhibits the growth of various Escherichia coli strains and other microorganisms, both gram positive and gram negative. The susceptibility of organisms varies. The bactericidal action of this substance is not continuous and stops after an initial burst. At subbactericidal concentrations synthesis of ribonucleic acid is the most strongly affected. This is not due to interference with nucleoside biosynthesis or to direct inhibition of ribonucleic acid polymerase by thioglycerol.

Depression of adenosylmethionine content of Escherichia coli by thioglycerol.

The mechanism of growth inhibition of Escherichia coli by thioglycerol was probed. The extent of growth inhibition depended on the ratio of thioglycerol to initial cell concentration. Exogenously added methionine and several methionine analogues reversed the inhibition of 2 to 40 mM thioglycerol. Exposure to thioglycerol elevated the intracellular concentration of methionine, but the level of S...

Modified Vero cell induced by Bifidobacterium bifidum inhibits enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 cytopathic effect

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), such as E. coli O157:H7, are emerging food-borne pathogens worldwide. This micro-organism can damage the epithelial tissue of the large intestine. The cytotoxic effects can be neutralized by probiotics such as Bifidobacterium bifidum. Probiotics are viable cells that have beneficial effects on the health of the host. The preventing activity of B. bifid...

Thiol-sensitive promoters of Escherichia coli.

Mu dX(lac) insertion mutants of Escherichia coli CSH50 in which the expression of the lacZ gene was sensitive to the presence of exogenous 1-thioglycerol or dithiothreitol were isolated. Both stimulatory and inhibitory mutants were found. The existence of several thiol-sensitive promoters suggests that exogenous thiols may provoke global stress responses in E. coli.

Antibacterial activity of Fe3O4 nanoparticles

Antibacterial activity of Fe3O4 nanoparticles was investigated in three microorganisms including P. aeruginosa, E. Coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical precipitation method (20 nm). The Fe3O4 nanoparticles antibacterial effect against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were studied by the culture method. First of all, e...
