incorporation of radioactive macromolecular precursors into intact cells and osmotically stabilized "protoplasts" of streptococcus faecalis.growing "protoplasts" of streptococcus faecalis were shown to incorporate newly administered radioactive precursors in the same manner as growing intact streptococci. no observable differences could be found between the size of the leucine precursor pools of the two cultures. the extent of turnover of protein and ribonucleic acid in both "protoplast" and streptococcal cultures appeared to be identical. finally, the absolute rate of macromolecular biosynthesis was found to be equivalent whether d ...19715003181
caffeic acid metabolism by bacteria of the human gastrointestinal tract.the metabolism of caffeic acid, previously shown to be carried out by the intestinal microbiota of man and experimental animals, has now been examined in a number of bacteria isolated from human feces. it has been found that of the 12 organisms isolated none has the ability to catalyze more than one reaction of the series leading from caffeic acid to either m-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid or 4-ethylcatechol.19715003182

total synthesis of acetate from co 2 : methyltetrahydrofolate, an intermediate, and a procedure for separation of the folates.whole-cell preparations of clostridium thermoaceticum were exposed to a short pulse of (14)co(2) under conditions in which double-labeled acetate was synthesized. radioactive methyltetrahydrofolate monoglutamate, diglutamate, and triglutamates were isolated from extracts of the cells. the radioactivity was found to be exclusively in the five methyl position. the specific activities of the methyltetrahydrofolate derivatives were very high and were in accord with the proposal that methyltetrahydro ...19715001869
studies on antibiotic syngerism against enterococci. ii. effect of various antibiotics on the uptake of 14 c-labeled streptomycin by enterococci.the mechanism by which agents that inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis produce a synergistic effect against enterococci when combined with aminoglycoside antibiotics has not been elucidated. using (14)c-labeled streptomycin, it could be shown that uptake of this aminoglycoside antibiotic was markedly enhanced in enterococci growing in the presence of penicillin or other agents which inhibit the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. there was no enhancement of streptomycin uptake when the cells we ...19715001959

differential action of a streptococcal bacteriocin on mycoplasmas and microbial l-forms.bacteriocin activity of streptococcus faecalis var. zymogenes was tested against a variety of bacteria, l-forms, and mycoplasmas. both a partially purified liquid preparation and a colony overlay technique were used. other s. faecalis strains were the only bacteria whose growth was inhibited. the liquid preparation inhibited growth of all but three of the tested l-forms (whether derived from gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria), and two of these exceptional organisms were inhibited when the ...19715005294
media exchange method for demonstrating killing of l-phase variants in solid media by normal human serum.normal human serum has been shown to kill l-phase variants in a fluid system by the action of antibody plus complement. previous studies, however, failed to demonstrate such killing in solid media. this failure probably resulted from inhibition of complement by medium components such as agar and nacl. a method was developed which circumvents the problems of the anticomplementary properties of agar media and the requirement of some l-phase variants for concentrations of salt that inhibit compleme ...19715005296
influence of antibiotics or certain intestinal bacteria on orally administered candida albicans in germ-free and conventional mice.candida albicans, administered by gastric intubation, persisted in the gastrointestinal tract of gnotobiotic mice for long periods but was eliminated within a relatively short period of time in pathogen-free mice. oxytetracycline administered by mouth had no reproducible effect on the persistence of c. albicans in the gastrointestinal tract of either germ-free or pathogen-free mice. prolonged administration of streptomycin extended the time that c. albicans could be recovered from feces of patho ...19715005314

folates in plasma and bile of man after feeding folic acid--3h and 5-formyltetrahydrofolate (folinic acid).during the 1st hr after feeding folic acid-(3)h ((3)h-pteglu) to fasting human volunteers, plasma s. faecalis and (3)h activity were elevated to an equivalent degree, whereas after this, the (3)h activity exceeded s. faecalis activity, which suggests gradual conversion of folic acid-(3)h to methyltetrahydrofolate-(3)h (5-ch(3)h(4) pteglu). the increase of l. casei activity exceeded the increase of s. faecalis and (3)h activity, which is consistent with flushing of endogenous methyltetrahydrofola ...19714992993
injury of bacteria by sanitizers.injury of test cultures was quantitated by differences in colony counts obtained with a complete medium and those obtained on conventional selective media. staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus faecalis, and several strains of escherichia coli were injured when exposed to the quaternary ammonium compound methylalkyltrimethyl ammonium chloride. representative hypochlorite sanitizers also caused injury of e. coli ml30. sanitizer concentration appeared to be the main factor in the cause of death and ...19714993231

balanced macromolecular biosynthesis in "protoplasts" of streptococcus faecalis.osmotically fragile forms of streptococcus faecalis 9790 were grown in 0.5 m sucrose- or 0.5 m nh(4)cl-stabilized medium. the "protoplast" cultures exhibit an average growth rate constant of 0.66 to 0.94 mass doublings/hr. in a variety of experiments, turbidity and the net content of protein, ribonucleic acid (rna) and deoxyribonucleic acid increase at the same rate, indicating balanced macromolecular biosynthesis. a total of two to three mass doublings was obtained, with no evidence of cell div ...19714994035
mechanism of resistance to antibiotic synergism in enterococci.enterococci exhibit two types of resistance to streptomycin. moderately high-level resistance is observed in most naturally occurring strains and can be overcome by simultaneous exposure to penicillin. in addition, very high-level resistance is found in those strains against which penicillin plus streptomycin fail to produce synergism in vitro. to study the mechanism of streptomycin resistance in enterococci, ribosomes from a wild-type strain and from a highly streptomycin-resistant mutant were ...19714994038
