一株口腔链球菌新种—寡发酵链球菌产过氧化氢特性的研究

从健康人口腔中分离的寡发酵链球菌(Streptococcus oligofermentans)能够产生大量的过氧化氢,可能具有抑制致病菌的潜力。为了研究该细菌产过氧化氢的特性,检测了其在不同生长时期和从不同底物产过氧化氢的能力。结果表明,寡发酵链球菌从对数生长早期就开始产过氧化氢,在对数生长后期及稳定期过氧化氢产量达到最高,随后下降。在PYG培养基中,寡发酵链球菌所产的过氧化氢主要来源于大豆蛋白胨和酵母提取物;而代谢终产物乳酸也可作为过氧化氢产生的底物。对3种可能与过氧化氢生成有关的氧化酶的酶活测定表明,寡发酵链球菌具有乳酸氧化酶(LOX)及NADH氧化酶(NOX)的活性,说明其过氧化氢的产生主要依赖于这两种酶的活力。

Genetic exchange between oral streptococci during mixed growth

To determine whether oral streptococci might exchange genetic information in the oral cavity, paired transformable strains of Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguis and Streptococcus milleri were growth together. Chromosomal and plasmid-borne antibiotic resistance markers could be readily transferred from S. mutans GS-5 to S. milleri NCTC 10707 or S. sanguis Challis during mixed growth. However, no exchange from the latter two organisms to strain GS-5 could be detected under these conditions. The transfer of genetic information from S. sanguis to S. milleri was also observed.     

Oxygen toxicity in Streptococcus sanguis. The relative importance of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals

Streptococcus sanguis, whose growth appears to be independent of the availability of iron, makes no hemes, contains neither catalase nor peroxidase, and can accumulate millimolar concentration levels of H2O2 during aerobic growth. It possesses a single manganese-containing superoxide dismutase whose concentration can be varied over a 50-100-fold range by manipulating the availability of oxygen during growth. Cell extracts contain a soluble NADH-plumbagin diaphorase which mediates O2- production in vitro and presumably also in vivo. Plumbagin increased oxygen consumption by S. sanguis and imposed an oxygen-dependent toxicity. Cells grown aerobically and containing elevated levels of superoxide dismutase were resistant to this toxicity. Dimethyl sulfoxide, which was shown to permeate S. sanguis freely, was used as an indicating scavenger of OH. An in vitro enzymic source of O2- plus H2O2 generated formaldehyde from dimethyl sulfoxide, an indication of OH. production. Either superoxide dismutase or catalase inhibited this OH. production and iron salts augmented it. Intact, aerobic cells of S. sanguis also gave evidence of OH. production, in the presence of plumbagin, but all of it appeared to be generated outside the cells. In addition, 0.5 M dimethyl sulfoxide did not diminish the oxygen-dependent toxicity of plumbagin. We conclude that, in S. sanguis, O2- can exert a toxic effect independent of the production of OH..     

Effect of utilization of substrates on the composition of dental plaque

Abstract The microbiota in the mouth is subjected to substrate limitations. In this study we have evaluated the role of competition for carbon and energy substrates on the proportions of 2 microbial species in a simplified plaque ecosystem in gnotobiotic rats. Germ-free rats were inoculated with a combination of Streptococcus sanguis and Streptococcus mutans , or with a combination of Streptococcus milleri and S. mutans . The available carbon and energy sources were varied through the host's diet. 3 Experimental diets were tested: (i) a basal diet low in soluble carbohydrates; (ii) an arginine-supplemented diet; (iii) a sucrose-supplemented diet. Arginine is used for growth by S. sanguis and S. milleri , but not by S. mutans . Sucrose is rapidly fermented by all 3 species.
The total number of viable organisms on the dentition increased when arginine or sucrose were supplied in the diet. With the arginine-supplemented diet, S. sanguis and S. milleri increased while S. mutans decreased. With the sucrose-supplemented diet, S. mutans increased while S. sanguis and S. milleri decreased. These results were explained by assuming that the organism with the highest growth rate on the supplementary substrate competes most favourably. Changes in the environmental pH, due to breakdown of sucrose and arginine, might also have affected the competition between the streptococci. In addition, production of extracellular glucans from sucrose could be a competitive advantage for S. mutans .     

The effect of ionophores on growth and glycosyltransferase production of Streptococcus sanguis

Abstract Batch cultures of Streptococcus sanguis NCTC7865 were grown in complex medium in the presence and absence of the ionophores gramicidin, valinomycin and nigericin, to study their effects on growth and glycosyltransferase production. Growth of S. sanguis was markedly inhibited by nigericin or gramicidin, whereas valinomycin had no significant effect. The presence of ionophores caused only slight decreases in glucosyltransferase activity. Fructosyltransferase activity was however reduced by at least 90%. The results indicate that ΔpH rather than ΔΨ is essential for maintaining normal growth in S. sanguis . However, both ΔpH and ΔΨ are necessary for fructosyltransferase synthesis and secretion, but are not apparently involved in the synthesis and secretion of glucosyltransferase.
