Spurious hydrogen sulfide production by Providencia and Escherichia coli species.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hydrogen sulfide production was noted in two Escherichia coli strands and one Provaidenica alcalifaciens (Proteus inconstans A) strain isolated from clinical stool specimens durin the summer of 1979. An investigation into this phenomenon revealed the predence of Eubacterium lentum, an anaerobe, growing in synergism with the Enterobacteriaceae and producing H2s. The implications of this association are discssed with reference to clinical microbiology laboratory practice.

Sensitivity of Mixed Populations of Staphylococcus Aureus and Escherichia Coli to Mercurials.
Staphylococcus aureus was found to have a higher resistance to merbromin and mercuric chloride in the presence of Escherichia coli. The protective effect of the gram-negative organism on S. aureus was due to the production of extracellular glutathione and hydrogen sulfide and to an unequal distribution of the inhibitor between the two species. S. aureus did not significantly influence the resis...

Triple Sugar Iron Agar does not reveal hydrogen sulfide production by all Salmonella organisms nor does it permit clear-cut separation of those nonsalmonellae which produce H(2)S. Numerous media with varied combinations of nutrients, inhibitors, selective agents, pH levels, and metal salts were tested for H(2)S production of cultures of Salmonella, Citrobacter, Edwardsiella, Arizona, Proteus, P...
متن کاملHydrogen sulfide-producing variants of Escherichia coli.
Seventeen strains of H(2)S-producing variants of Escherichia coli were isolated from specimens submitted for microbiological study (ten from stool, five from urine, and two from postmortem material). Production of H(2)S was unstable in several strains; however, other than their production of H(2)S, all strains closely resembled typical E. coli in their biochemical reactions. In vitro susceptibi...
متن کاملA surface-display biohybrid approach to light-driven hydrogen production in air
Solar-to-chemical production by artificial and bioinspired photosynthetic systems is of tremendous interest to help solve current global energy and environmental problems. We developed a bioinorganic hybrid system for photocatalytic hydrogen production under aerobic conditions by combining light-harvesting semiconductors, hydrogenase catalysis, and self-aggregation of whole bacterial cells. We ...
