Basic Bioelement Contents in Anaerobic Intestinal Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria

The monitoring of trace metals in microbial cells is relevant for diagnosis inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) represent an important factor the IBD development. content bacterial may reflect functioning enzyme systems and environmental impact on occurrence SRB. aim our research was to compare elements SRB cultures isolated from fecal samples patients with healthy people. contents 11 chemical were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-mass-spectrometry (ICP-MS) method. Significant changes calcium, zinc, magnesium, potassium, iron observed compared individuals. Through a principal component analysis (PCA), total variability 67.3% difference between explained. main factors influencing suffering micro- elements, such as manganese (with power 0.87), magnesium cobalt (0.86), calcium (0.84), molybdenum (0.81), (0.78). Such elemental composition under different conditions existence host indicate adaptive responses microorganisms, including inclusion oxidative stress systems, which can lead metabolism manifestation parameters humans. use PCA might make it possible future predict development ratio various diseases.
