Enterococcus faecalis grows on ascorbic acid.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that Enterococcus faecalis can utilize ascorbate for fermentative growth. In chemically defined media, growth yield was limited by the supply of amino acids, and the cells showed a much higher demand for amino acids than when they were grown on glucose.

The Effect of Ascorbic Acid on the Substantivity of Tetraclean in Sodium Hypochlorite-Treated Bovine Dentin
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the in vitro effect of ascorbic acid on the antibacterial substantivity of Tetraclean in bovine root dentin pretreated with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty dentin tubes prepared from bovine incisor teeth were infected with Enterococcus faecalis for 14 days. The specimens were divided into five groups as follows: Tetra...
متن کاملStudies on the enzymatic formation of citrovorum factor by Streptococcus faecalis.
There is evidence that before pteroylglutamic acid (PGA) can carry out certain catalytic functions in animal tissues it must first be converted to citrovorum factor (CF). This conversion has been studied in rat liver slices by Nichol and Welch (l), who found that the conversion was enhanced by ascorbic acid. Since Streptococcus faecalis utilizes either PGA or CF to meet its growth requirement f...
متن کاملThe Response of Enterococcus faecalis V583 to Chloramphenicol Treatment
Many Enterococcus faecalis strains display tolerance or resistance to many antibiotics, but genes that contribute to the resistance cannot be specified. The multiresistant E. faecalis V583, for which the complete genome sequence is available, survives and grows in media containing relatively high levels of chloramphenicol. No specific genes coding for chloramphenicol resistance has been recogni...
متن کاملSynthesis and biological evaluation of new 2-azetidinones with sulfonamide structures.
New series of N-(arylidene)hydrazinoacetyl sulfonamides 4a1-6, 4b1-6 and N-(4-aryl-3-chloro-2-oxoazetidin-1-yl)aminoacetyl sulfonamides 5a1-6, 5b1-6 were synthesized. The structures of the new derivatives was confirmed using spectral methods (FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR). The antibacterial activities of these compounds against Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6583, Staphylococcus epidermidi...
