the effect of hydrogen ion concentration on the production of carbon dioxide by bacillus butyricus and bacillus subtilis.1. the maximum rate of co(2) production of bacillus butyricus was found to be at a ph value of 7; of bacillus subtilis at ph 6.8. if the ph value be raised or lowered there is a progressive decrease in the rate of production of co(2). 2. spontaneous recovery follows the addition of alkali to either organism, while addition of acid is followed by recovery only upon addition of an equivalent amount of alkali, and is not complete except when the amount of acid is very small.192119871925
conductivity as a measure of vitality and death.the conductance of laminaria, saccharomyces, bacillus coli and bacillus butyricus, chlorella, and of red blood cells has been studied by the writer's method, and laminaria by that of osterhout. for the material studied it has been found that: 1. the conductance of living tissue is closely proportionate to, and determined by that of the surrounding fluid with which it is apparently in equilibrium. changes in the conductance of the fluid are quickly followed by compensatory changes in that of the ...192319872003

[studies on human sera for antibodies against clostridium butyricum strain jean h 8].in 235 human sera, antibodies against clostridium butyricum strain jena h8 could be demonstrated in 33 patients (15%); only 189 sera (80%) reacted negatively, and in 5% (13 sera) a questionable reaction was obtained. the results are discussed, pointing out the necessity of preliminary titer determination if the clostridia-tumor phenomenon is to be utilized for early diagnosis of cancer.19751221742
replacement of acyl and alk-1-enyl groups in clostridium butyricum phospholipids by exogenous fatty acids.the effect of exogenous unsaturated fatty acids on the acyl and alk-1-enyl group composition of the phospholipids of clostridium butyricum has been examined. unsaturated fatty acids support the growth of this organism in the absence of biotin. when cells were grown at 37 degrees in media containing oleate or linoleate and a casamino acid mixture containing traces of biotin, the exogenous fatty acids were found mainly in the alk-1-enyl chains of the plasmalogens with less pronounced incorporation ...19751164501
[a simple method for breeding major spore quantities of clostridium butyricum to be used in experiments for tumour diagnostics and therapy (author's transl)].a simple method is described for breeding major spore quantities of clostridium butyricum using a modification of berger's iron bouillon. the method allows the breeding of cultures with comparatively high spore-forming rates which is essential for the use of such spores in experiments in the field of early tumour diagnostics and tumour therapy.19751098610
taxonomy of the clostridia: ribosomal ribonucleic acid homologies among the species.rrna homologies have been determined on reference strains representing 56 species of clostridium. competition experiments using tritium-labelled 23s rrna were employed. the majority of the species had dna with 27 to 28% guanine plus cytosine (%gc). these fell into rrna homology groups i and ii, which were well defined, and a third group which consisted of species which did not belong in groups i and ii. species whose dna was 41 to 45% gc comprised a fourth group. thirty species were placed into ...1975168308
purification of two clostridium bacteriocins by procedures appropriate to hydrophobic proteins.two clostridocins distinguishable by their different modes of action on clostridium pasteurianum have been isolated, namely, butyricin 7423 found in cultures of clostridium butyricum ncib 7423 and perfringocin 11105 produced by clostridium perfringens type a, ncib 11105. both were trypsin-susceptible proteins which were soluble in concentrated aqueous ethanol and were able to bind large amounts of the nonionic detergent triton x-100. in the presence of triton x-100, butyricin 7423 behaved as a h ...19751137378
[studies on the culture of clostridium butyricum strain m 55 atcc 13.732. 4th communication: the influence of peptone quality upon kininase activity (author's transl)].studies of the oncolytic effect of cl. butyricum strain m 55 resulted in the hypothesis of oncolysis to be an effect of a continuous production of kinin-decomposing enzymes. a decomposition of bradykinin will reduce capillary permeability and microcirculation in the tumour tissue, thus releasing and maintaining the process of necrotization. to achieve an optimal oncolytic effect of cl. butyricum m 55, in addition to conditions already demanded in preceding papers, also an abundant production of ...19751146438

effects of small amounts of pentadecan-2-one on the growth of clostridium butyricum.primary alcohols occur as trace lipids and are the only long-chain alcohol species present in clostridium butyricum. secondary alcohols do not occur physiologically in this microorganism. exposure of these cells to the methyl ketone, pentadecan-2-one, results in a marked decrease in the primary alcohol content with the secondary alcohol, pentadadecan-2-ol, becoming the major alcohol present. this change in lipid composition is associated with a significant decrease in growth rate that is proport ...1978690515
clostridium pseudotetanicum bacteremia in a patient with pasteurella multocida conjunctivitis.clostridium pseudotetanicum only once previously has been identified as causing disease. pasteurella multocida has been identified only three times as the cause of purulent conjunctivitis. a very debilitated patient had c. pseudotetanicum bacteremia and p. multocida conjunctivitis from which she recovered only to die of a nosocomial staphylococcus epidermidis septicemia, originating in a site for the administration of intravenous fluids.1978730826
the liquefaction (oncolysis) of malignant gliomas by a non pathogenic clostridium.vascular glioblastomas become liquefied when contaminated with spores of the non-pathogenic clostridium butyricum m 55. the spores are administered by intracarotid injection. the oncolysis is complete one week after injection. the glioblastoma is converted into a brain abscess which is then operated on appropriately. forty nine patients have been treated in this manner. the rate of recurrence, however, remained uninfluenced.1978696441
