Escherichia coll

A culture of Bacillus polymyxa in a tube with Trypticase soybean broth was incubated overnight at 25°C. 5 ml of this culture was transferred to 100 ml of the tank medium in a 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask which was incubated for 48 hours at room temperature. This 100 ml culture served as inoculum for one tank. During the course of fermentation the medium was aerated at the rate of 0.3 volume of air per volume of mash per minute. The temperature was maintained at about 27 C. Samples of mash were taken every 8 hours in order to determine pH and the presence of contaminants and spores. After 88 hours of fermentation the pH was about 6.3 and an assay using Escherichia coll showed the presence of 1,200 units of polymyxin per cubic centimeter. The polymyxin was extracted and purified by removing the mycelia, adsorbing the active principle on charcoal and eluting with acidic methanol.

Chronic granulomatous disease is most frequently aused by genetic deficiency of NADPH oxidase in the PMN. Patients are susceptible to infection by catalasepositive organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella, Escherichia coll, Candida, end Aspergillus, k negative nitroblue tetrazolium test is useful in confirming the diagnosis. 

PMN infiltration also occurs following exposure to some common microbial cotton contaminants (Enterobacter aerogenes (44), Klebsiella pneumoniae or Escherichia coll), but not others (. subtills) (45). Cotton dust extracts pretreated at 80 C and 100 C for 20 minutes cause successively higher leucocyte responses, indicating that the chemotactlc effect is not solely affected by viable bacteria (46). Thus, while the increase seen in PMNs may not, by itself, represent a pathological alteration, it could be of importance in the later development of pathological effects. 

After weighing the dust filters, the amount of endotoxin was determined by shaking them In 10 ml of pyrogen free water and preparing serial dilutions. Llmulus lysate (Cape Cod Associates Inc.) was added to the dilutions according to the manufacturer s recommendations. The last dilution giving a stable clot was read as the Escherichia coll endotoxin equivalent concentration. Dilutions were also prepared with commercial E. coll endotoxin (. coll 026-B26, Dlfco) to assess the accuracy of the production reference standard. The values were always found to agree closely with the stated values.

Repression as applied lo biochemical reactions is a process of feedback control whereby a cell limiLs its produedon of the substances produced within it. An example that has been investigated shows the nature and mechanism by which this limitation is effected. Ii has been found that production of the amino acid L-isoleucine by cells of the bacterium Escherichia coll is repressed in the presence of an excess of the product. This excess is obtained experimentally by adding the substance in the culture medium in which the bacterium is grown. A form of the L-isoleucinc is used that has been labeled with a radioactive isotope, so ihat the mechanism of the repression can be followed.
