Kinetics of Lysis by Clostridium Septicum Hemolysin

نویسنده

  • Alan W. Bernheimer
چکیده

The kinetics of the hemolytic reaction effected by the hemolysin of Clostridium septicum, strain 44, has been studied with regard to the effect of concentration, temperature, and hydrogen ion concentration on the rate of the hemolytic reaction. The kinetics of hemolysis was found to resemble in several respects that of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, but differed in the absence of a clearly defined pH optimum. Attention is drawn to differences between the hemolytic system studied and certain other hemolytic systems.

Isolation and identification of Clostridium septicum from sheep-dung

  To study the existence of Clostridium septicum as probable agent associated with currently occurrence of black quarter in Urmia area, sheep-dung samples were collected. The bacteriological examinations on suspicious gram positive anaerobic spore-bearing bacilli which are in Clostridia genus include isolation and biochemical identification were performed. The results showed 28 different types ...

Complexity of toxins from Clostridium septicum and Clostridium chauvoei.

Production of toxins by Clostridium septicum and Clostridium chauvoei has been the subject of many conflicting reports. Roux and Chamberland (1887) first noted that 3 to 4 day filtrates were antigenic; conferring on guinea pigs an immunity against infection with viable organisms. Production of a lethal toxin by C. septicum was however, demonstrated by Leclainche (1898) and Leclainche and Morel ...

Nutritional Requirements and Factors Affecting the Production of Toxin of Clostridium Septicum

A medium consisting of a complete acid hydrolysate of casein supplemented with cystine, tryptophan, growth accessory factors, glucose, and inorganic salts, has been developed for the cultivation of Clostridium septicum. Toxin equivalent to 400 to 700 L.D(50) per ml. has been obtained regularly in this medium. The principal factors found to affect the yield of toxin are:- (a) Phase of strain emp...

Comparative Kinetics of Hemolysis Induced by Bacterial and Other Hemolysins

A study has been made of the kinetics of lysis induced by various hemolytic agents. The course of bemolysis was followed by mixing lysin with washed human erythrocytes, removing samples from the mixture, and estimating colorimetrically the hemoglobin in the supernatant fluid of the centrifuged samples. Most of the curves (but not all of them, e.g. tyrocidine) obtained by plotting degree of hemo...

Toxin synthesis and mucin breakdown are related to swarming phenomenon in Clostridium septicum.

Clostridium septicum is responsible for several diseases in humans and animals. The bacterium is capable of a simple kind of multicellular behavior known as swarming. In this investigation, environmental and physiologic factors affecting growth and swarm cell formation in C. septicum were studied over a range of dilution rates (D = 0.02 to 0.65 h(-1)) in glucose-limited, glucose-excess, and muc...
