Lethal effects of electric current on Escherichia coli.
An attempt has been made to use low-voltage alternating current to kill microorganisms such as Escherichia coli. The bactericidal effect depends on the energy passing through the suspension and on the time during which the cells are left standing in the medium after the treatment. Most of the toxicity is due to an indirect effect developed with unalterable electrodes in the presence of chloride...
متن کاملSeparation of sublethal and lethal effects of polymorphonuclear leukocytes on Escherichia coli.
Escherichia coli ingested by PMN promptly stop growing and form no colonies in nutrient agar, but metabolize near normally for up to several hours. The bactericidal/permeability increasing protein (BPI) of PMN also inhibits E. coli growth without initial metabolic impairment. We recently showed that BPI-treated E. coli, although unable to grow in normal nutrient agar, can form colonies in this ...

متن کاملLethal effects of apidaecin on Escherichia coli involve sequential molecular interactions with diverse targets.
Apidaecins, short proline-arginine-rich peptides from insects, are highly bactericidal through a mechanism that includes stereoselective elements but is completely devoid of any pore-forming activity. The spectrum of antibacterial activity, always limited to Gram-negatives, is further dependent on a small number of variable residues and can be manipulated. We show here that mutations in the evo...
متن کاملLethal Effects of Pulsed High-Voltage Discharge on Marine Plankton and Escherichia coli
Ballast seawater is considered globally as a major vector for invasions of non-indigenous organisms. Several technologies have been tested for their ability to remove organisms from ballast water. In the present study, we constructed a novel pulsed high-voltage discharge (PHVD) system that could operate in either high current mode with several hundred amperes or shockwave generating mode with r...
