A Differential Character of Clostridium Welchii Type D

Physiologic Action of Clostridium Welchii (type

Recent work reported from this laboratory (1 to 7) has shown that clostridia grow and produce toxins readily in anoxic muscle in zivo, and that they are readily introduced into dog muscles during the course of traumatizing procedures. Moreover, our previous experiments have suggested that these and perhaps other bacteria may be responsible for a toxic factor contributing to shock in traumatizin...

Anomalous Clostridium welchii type b strains isolated in Iran.

Components of the cell wall of Clostridium welchii (type A).

1. The cell wall of Clostridium welchii (type A) contains alanine, 2,6-diaminopimelic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, glucosamine, muramic acid, galactosamine, mannosamine, ethanolamine, rhamnose, galactose and phosphorus. 2. Heating with formamide at 150 degrees resolved the wall into a formamide-soluble polysaccharide fraction and a formamide-insoluble mucopeptide fraction. 3. The formamide-sol...

Proteolytic Enzymes of Clostridium welchii

1. Two optically isomeric open-chain pentapeptide esters have been synthesized. These peptides have the same sequence of amino-acid residues as gramicidin S. 2. A crystalline acylpentapeptide amide has been synthesized. Thiscompound is structurally analogous to the natural antibiotic in that its constituent amino-acids are arranged in the same sequence and are of the same optical configuration ...
