Effect of chlortetracycline on vitamin B6 and amino acid decarboxylase in bacteria from the alimentary tract of the chick.
نویسنده
چکیده
Melnykowycz and Johansson (1955) have shown that chlortetracycline suppresses amino acid decarboxylation by intestinal microorganisms in the rat, formation of lysine decarboxylase in Escherichia coli, and decarboxylation of tyrosine in Streptococcus faecalis R. These workers postulate that antibiotics reduce enterotoxemia and improve growth by inhibiting amine formation in the intestine. Since vitamin B6 is the cofactor of the amino acid decarboxylase enzymes, the present work was undertaken to determine the effect of chlortetracycline (CTC) on vitamin B6 utilization and amino acid decarboxylation in chicks.

The activity of aspartate aminotransferase a vitamin B6 containing enzyme was measured in the laysed synaptosomes prepared from rat brain, during development. Administration of vitamin B6 increased the enzyme activity throughout development. The stimulating effect of this vitamin was prevented when the animals were previously treated with D-penicillamine. However, penicillamine alone had n...

The favorable effect of low levels of chlortetracycline (Aureomycin) in promoting an increased rate of gain in young swine is widely accepted as a contribution to our agricultural economy (Jukes, 1955). In young swine farrowed by hysterectomy and reared in isolation, with relative freedom from the more common infections to which baby pigs are exposed, significant increases in rate of growth occ...
