چکیده
In the study antimicrobial activity of adonitol, arabinose, cellobiose, dulcitol, galactose, glycerol, glucose, inositol, lactose, maltose, mannitol, mannose, mellibiose, raffinose, salicin, sorbitol, sucrose, trehalose and xylose was determined on 96 strains of Bacillus anthracoides, 3; Bacillus badius, 5; Bacillus brevis (3), Bacillus circulans (4), Bacillus coagulans (3), Bacillus lentus (6); Bacillus marcerans (3), Bacillus pantothenticus (15), Citrobacter amalonaticus (3), Citrobacter diversus (1), Enterobacter agglomerans (2), Enterobater gregoviae (1), Enterococcus asacchrolyticus (1), Enterococcus avium (4), Enterococcus caecorum (8), Enterococcus gallinarum (2), Enterococcus malodoratus (1), Enterococcus mundtii (1), Enterococcus raffinosus (4), Ervinia ananas (1), Klebsiella oxytoca (2), Microcccus luteus (2), Morganella morganii (2), Proteus mirabilis (9), Proteus vulgaris (6), Providencia rettgeri (3) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (1). Of the 19 sugars tested on 96 strains only glycerol, lactose, maltose, mannitol, raffinose and xylose had bacteriostatic effect against 1, 1, 6, 4, 4 and 3 strains, respectively. Of the 18 strains sensitive to one or other sugar none of the strains was sensitive to more than one sugar except a strain of C. diversus sensitive to raffinose and xylose. Sugar sensitive strains belonged to 11 species of Bacillus (5), Citrobacter (1), Enterococcus (3), Proteus (1) and Providencia (1) genus.

Nineteen strains of Gram-positive cocci isolated from wine and belonging to the genus Leuconostoc were examined and are considered to form a new species which is named Leuconostoc oenos. These strains differ from other leuconostocs because they grow better in a medium containing tomato juice than in yeast glucose citrate broth normally used in this laboratory for the genus. Furthermore, they gr...
متن کاملClxv. Studies in the Biochemistry of Micro-organisms. Xx. on the Production of Mannitol from Hexoses and Pentoses by a White Species of Aspergill Us. by Frederick
THE production of mannitol by bacterial fermentation has been extensively studied, since the organisms concerned are a source of trouble in the wine industry. Gayon and Dubourg [1901] showed that although glucose, sorbose, galactose, mannose, sucrose, maltose, lactose, raffinose and xylose are all fermented, laevulose alone yields mannitol. They found that arabinose and trehalose are not attack...

Clostridium bifermentans strains, isolated from a manure, were examinated for their ability to produce lactic acid from PY medium with glycerol under different pH conditions and when PY medium was supplemented with saccharides such as fructose, sorbitol, glucose, mannose, mannitol, maltose, xylose, raffinose, and arabinose. In the last test performed, the ability of investigated strains to prod...
