Cyclodextrins as carriers of cholesterol and fatty acids in cultivation of mycoplasmas.

چکیده
The design of fully or partly defined media for mycoplasma cultivation involves the need to provide the essential lipids, cholesterol and long-chain fatty acids, in an assimilable and nontoxic form. This study introduces cyclodextrins (CDs) as carriers of these lipids, thus suggesting alternatives to serum or bovine serum albumin (BSA). The effects of beta-CD and two forms of chemically modified beta-CD, dimethyl-beta-CD (Dimeb) and hydroxypropyl-beta-CD (Hyprob), on the growth of Mycoplasma capricolum and Acholeplasma laidlawii were investigated in a basal medium as well as in serum- and BSA-supplemented media. beta-CD was found to inhibit the growth of the sterol-requiring M. capricolum in both serum and BSA media, but it stimulated the growth of the sterol-independent A. laidlawii. Inhibition by beta-CD was explained by its capacity to form a water-insoluble CD-cholesterol complex, thus rendering it unavailable to the cells. Dimeb, despite its strong complexing ability for lipids, was found to be toxic to all mycoplasma species in both liquid cultures and agar diffusion susceptibility tests. In sharp contrast to beta-CD and Dimeb, Hyprob (with a degree of substitution of 4.2) added at 5 and 10 mM to a basal medium supplemented with lipids permitted growth of M. capricolum. Comparison of growth curves in the two conventional serum and BSA media with those in two Hyprob media revealed comparable growth and growth rates.
