| Abstract: | Oxygen-peroxide-induced superweak luminescence of some microorganisms has been studied by means of the native chemiluminometer KhLM1Ts-01. It is established that total chemiluminescence decrease in the bacteria as follows: Escherichia coli----Bacillus subtilis----Proteus vulgaris----Bacillus mycoides----B. licheniformis----Pseudomonas aeruginosa----Staphylococcus epidermidis----S. aureus----Serratia marcescens----Salmonella enteritidis. A hypothesis is put forward on a possible mechanisms of appearance of the superweak luminescence of bacteria and expediency to use chemoluminometry to differentiate microorganisms. |
