Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A population of Escherichia coli ML30 cells was exposed to a quaternary ammonium compound, and injury to the cells was measured by a comparison of counts on Trypticase Soy Agar and Violet Red Bile Agar. Substantial injury could not be detected with a minimal medium. The ingredients of Violet Red Bile Agar were tested against damaged cells. The bile salts mixture alone in the medium prevented as many injured cells from growing as did any combination of the selective agents and inhibited as many injured bacteria as were inhibited by Violet Red Bile Agar itself. These dyes and salts were similarly assayed in minimal agar, and comparable results were obtained. Individual bile salts and other potential selective agents were added to the minimal medium, and the media were tested for inhibition of injured E. coli. Sodium deoxycholate was the bile salt most inhibitory to damaged E. coli cells. |
