鱼精蛋白抗菌机制的研究

鱼精蛋白是一种存在于各类动物精巢组织中的多聚阳离子肽,其抗菌性很早就被所知,然而它的抗菌机理却一直未能得到很清楚的了解。现存在的机理有2种:一种认为鱼精蛋白与细菌细胞壁结合,通过破坏细胞壁的形成来达到抑菌效果;另一种认为鱼精蛋白破坏了细胞能量的转换、营养物质的吸收功能,细胞质膜是鱼精蛋白攻击的对象。事实上,作者认为,鱼精蛋白的抗菌效果可能是通过以上2种方式共同作用的结果,因而它的抗菌机理也可能是这两种机理的叠加,这还需进一步的研究证明。     

茶多酚对大肠杆菌抑菌机理的研究

茶多酚(tea polyphenols,TP)是一种具有广谱抗菌作用的活性质,以大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli,E.coli)为研究对象,采用牛津杯实验研究茶多酚的最小抑菌浓度,并采用结晶紫实验、电导率测定、离子泄漏测定来分析TP对E.coli细胞膜通透性的影响。通过琼脂糖凝胶电泳分析TP对E.coli DNA的影响。结果显示,TP对E.coli的最小抑菌浓度为40μg/m L;结晶紫实验中,随着浓度的增大,OD590也随之增大;随着处理时间的增长,电导率随之增大,离子泄漏随之增多,说明TP可以作用于E.coli的细胞膜,能够改变其通透性。通过琼脂糖凝胶电泳分析可知TP处理后和空白对照组相比较,DNA条带出现变暗、拖尾现象,说明TP能够作用于E.coli的遗传物质DNA。

家蝇抗菌肽的抑菌动力学研究及其机理初探

利用鼠伤寒沙门氏菌针刺诱导家蝇幼虫表达抗菌肽,对抗菌肽的抑菌动力学进行研究,并通过抗菌肽样品对不同细菌动力学特性的研究出发对抗菌肽抑菌作用机制进行探讨。研究发现抗菌肽样品的活性与作用时间有关,24h内出现一到两个活性峰,同一抗菌肽样品对不同细菌的抑菌动力学有差异,抗菌肽的抑菌动力学机制应该与它的的抑菌作用机制有关。通过电镜观测、细胞磷代谢、紫外吸收物测定以及抗菌肽与细菌DNA相互作用结果可知,微生物诱导家蝇表达的抗菌肽样品不仅能够造成细菌细胞的快速坍塌破裂而且能够破坏细胞核心,与DNA结合作用。抗菌肽抑菌动力学的解释：微生物诱导产物中含有两类抗菌肽,一类抗菌肽能造成细胞膜的快速坍塌破裂形成第一个活性峰;另一类抗菌肽可进入细胞,破坏细胞核心,造成紫外吸收物大量外泄形成第二个活性峰。     

Antimicrobial activity of lavender,tea tree and lemon oils in cosmetic preservative systems

Aims: The aim of the study was to verify the antimicrobial activity of commercial essential oils: lavender, tea tree and lemon as the components of a preservative system in oil in water body milks. Methods and Results: The inhibition efficacy of essential oils alone (0·5%), in mixtures (1%) as well as combined with the synthetic preservative 1,3‐dimethylol‐5,5‐dimethylhydantoin and a 3‐iodo‐2‐propynyl butyl carbamate mixture (0·1% and 0·2%) was tested against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027, Candida sp. ?OCK 0008 and Aspergillus niger ATCC 16404 in compliance with the standards of the European Pharmacopoeia Commission. The in vitro activity of oils determined by an impedimetric method was also compared with their activity in cosmetic preparations. Criterion A for bacteria (reduction in the inoculum by 3 logarithmic units within 7 days with no increase up to the 28th day) and fungi (reduction in the inoculum by 2 logarithmic units within 14 days with no increase up to the 28th day) was fulfilled for cosmetic formulations containing the tested essential oils with 0·2% of the synthetic preservative. The preservative concentration could be decreased to 0·1% (with preserving the same efficacy) in combination with lavender and tea tree oils at a concentration of 0·5% each. Conclusions: In all combinations of essential oils with the synthetic preservative, a synergistic effect of the preservative system components was observed, which made it possible to reduce the usable level of the synthetic preservative up to 8·5 times. Significance and Impact of the Study: To develop an effective preservative system in cosmetics in which a synthetic chemical preservative is replaced by natural essential oils.     

Bacteriocin: safest approach to preserve food products

Start of the 21st century with its universal call to feed the hungry is an appropriate time to refocus attention on food security and especially the impact of biopatenting on poor communities who are the primary victims of hunger in our world. Antibacterial metabolites of lactic acid bacteria and Bacillus spp have potential as natural preservatives to control the growth of spoilage and pathogenic bacteria in food. Among them, bacteriocin is used as a preservative in food due to its heat stability, wider pH tolerance and its proteolytic activity. Due to thermo stability and pH tolerance it can withstand heat and acidity/alkanity of food during storage condition. Bacteriocin are ribosomally synthesized peptides originally defined as proteinaceous compound affecting growth or viability of closely related organisms. Research is going on extensively to explore the nascent field of biopreservation. Scientists all over the world are showing their keen interest to isolate different types of bacteriocin producing strains and characterize bacteriocin produced by them for food preservation.     

Induction of chromosome aberrations in cultured human lymphocytes treated with ethoxyquin

The chromosomal aberration test was employed to investigate the effect in vitro of a known antioxidant and food preservative, ethoxyquin (EQ, 1,2-dihydro-6-ethoxy-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline) on human chromosomes. The studies were undertaken because there are no published in vitro data on genotoxicity of EQ in mammalian cells and there are many reports pointing out that it may be harmful to animals and human beings. Lymphocytes obtained from three healthy donors were incubated with EQ (0.01–0.5 mM) both with and without metabolic activation. Stability studies performed by HPLC analysis showed that EQ was stable under the conditions of the lymphocyte cultures. The results of the chromosome aberration assay showed that EQ induces chromosome aberrations: gaps and breaks as well as dicentrics and atypical translocation chromosomes.

Genotoxicity of food preservative sodium sorbate in human lymphocytes in vitro

The genotoxic effects of antimicrobial food additive sodium sorbate (SS) was assessed by using chromosome aberrations (CAs), sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs), and micronucleus (MN) in cultured human lymphocytes and comet assay in isolated human lymphocytes. Lymphocytes were treated with four concentrations (100, 200, 400 and 800 μg/ml) of SS as well as a negative (sterile distilled water) and a positive control (Mitomycin-C: MMC for cultured lymphocytes and H₂O₂ for isolated lymphocytes). The result of this study indicated that SS increased the frequency of CAs at both 24 and 48 h period compared to control. When gaps were included, this increase was significant at 200, 400 and 800 μg/ml concentrations at 24 h and, at all concentrations at 48 h treatment time. When gaps were excluded, this increase was significant at only 800 μg/ml concentration at both 24 and 48 h treatments. In addition, SS increased SCEs/cell and MN frequency at 400 and 800 μg/ml concentrations at both 24 and 48 h compared to negative control. Furthermore, this additive caused DNA damage at all concentrations in isolated human lymphocytes after 1 h in vitro exposure. The present results show that SS is genotoxic to the human peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro at the highest concentrations.
