Discrimination of aerobic endospore-forming bacteria via electrospray-lonization mass spectrometry of whole cell suspensions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Direct injection electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) without prior analyte separation was investigated for the analysis of whole cell suspensions of bacteria. Thirty-six strains of aerobic endospore-forming bacteria, consisting of six Bacillus species and one Brevibacillus species, were studied

Thirty-six strains of aerobic endospore-forming bacteria confirmed by polyphasic taxonomic methods to belong to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus subtilis (including Bacillus niger and Bacillus globigii), Bacillus sphaericus, and Brevi laterosporus were grown axenically on nutrient agar, and vegetative and sporulated biomasses wer...
متن کاملDichloromethane as the sole carbon source for an acetogenic mixed culture and isolation of a fermentative, dichloromethane-degrading bacterium.
Dichloromethane (DCM) is utilized by the strictly anaerobic, acetogenic mixed culture DM as a sole source of carbon and energy for growth. Growth with DCM was linear, and cell suspensions of the culture degraded DCM with a specific activity of 0.47 mkat/kg of protein. A mass balance of 2 mol of chloride and 0.42 mol of acetate per mol of DCM was observed. The dehalogenation reaction showed simi...
متن کاملAerobic endospore-forming bacteria from geothermal environments in northern Victoria Land, Antarctica, and Candlemas Island, South Sandwich archipelago, with the proposal of Bacillus fumarioli sp. nov.
Aerobic endospore-forming bacteria were isolated from soils taken from active fumaroles on Mount Rittmann and Mount Melbourne in northern Victoria Land, Antarctica, and from active and inactive fumaroles on Candlemas Island, South Sandwich archipelago. The Mt Rittmann and Mt Melbourne soils yielded a dominant, moderately thermophilic and acidophilic, aerobic endospore-former growing at pH 5.5 a...
متن کامل180Effect of Antimicrobial Treatment Duration on recovery of Bacteria in Sterile Specimens Submitted for Culture
Background. Early initiation of antibiotics results in cultures that are unrevealing, resulting in potentail over use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. We performed a prospective study of PCR and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PCR/ESI-MS) assay in development for detection of bacteria directly from sterile surgical specimens obtained after antibiotic treatment had been initiated. Metho...
متن کاملSimultaneous multiple substrate tag detection with ESI-ion trap MS for in vivo bacterial enzyme activity profiling.
A bacterial identification method in which multiple enzyme activities are measured simultaneously and in vivo with electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is described. Whole-cell bacteria are immobilized onto a filter support and incubated with a mixture of substrates. Each substrate is chosen to measure a specific enzyme activity of a targeted bacterium and to produce a tag of uniq...
