Macromolecular Synthesis and the Bactericidal Effect of Streptomycin.

چکیده
Rosenkranz, Herbert S. (Columbia University, New York, N.Y.). Macromolecular synthesis and the bactericidal effect of streptomycin. J. Bacteriol. 87:606-603. 1964.-Hydroxylamine, a bacteriostatic agent which inhibits deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA), and protein synthesis, interferes with the lethal action of streptomycin on growing cells of Escherichia coli. The addition of hydroxylamine to cultures exposed for various times to streptomycin prevents the further killing of the survivors. On the other hand, phenethyl alcohol, a chemical which interferes with DNA synthesis, does not reverse the action of streptomycin. From this and the mode of action of hydroxylamine, it is suggested that the structural and functional integrity of RNA is required for the bactericidal action of streptomycin.

In this paper, a series of well-defined polyethylene-b-polytetrafluoroethylene diblock copolymers (PE–b– PTFEs) were prepared by a coupling reaction of hydroxyl-terminated polyethylene (PE–OH) and isocyanateterminated 1H,1H-perfluoro-1-tetradecanol (PFDO–NCO). PE–OH was prepared by the coordination chain transfer polymerization using 2,6-bis[1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino ethyl] pyridine iron (...

متن کاملMetabolic inhibition of Peptostreptococcus anaerobius decreases the bactericidal effect of hydrogen peroxide.
Peptostreptococcus anaerobius VPI 4330-1 was tested under various conditions for examination of the bactericidal effect of hydrogen peroxide. The cells were most rapidly killed by hydrogen peroxide when they were in the exponential-growth phase. Cooling or starving the cells decreased the bactericidal effect of hydrogen peroxide. The ionophore nigericin and the metal ion chelating agent 2,2'-bi...
