Enzymatic degradation and transport of endothiopeptides into Escherichia coli K12 mutant strains
PublikacjaZbadano transport trzech otrzymanych na drodze syntezy ditiopeptydów do komórek Escherichia coli K12. Ponadto zbadano szybkość hydrolizy tych związków. Wszystkie peptydy są transportowane przez permeazy, natomiast są bardziej oporne na hydrolizę enzymatyczną w stosunku do naturalnych peptydów.

Immobilized preparation of cold-adapted and halotolerant Antarctic β-galactosidase as a highly stable catalyst in lactose hydrolysis
PublikacjaZimnolubna rekombinowana beta-galaktozydaza antarktycznej morskiej bakterii Pseudoalteromonas sp. 22b została immobilizowana na chitozanie za pomocą aldehydu glutarowego. Preparat immobilizowanego enzymu w przeciwieństwie do preparatu enzymu w buforze reakcyjnym nie był inhibowany przez glukozę. Immobilizacja enzymu wpłynęła na podwyższenie o 10°C optymalnej temperatury aktywności względem jego nieimmobilizowanego odpowiednika...

A comparative analysis of phenotypic and genotypic methods for the determination of the biofilm-forming abilities of Staphylococcus epidermidis
PublikacjaThe collection of 146 Staphylococcus epidermidis strains isolated from the nasopharynx of lung cancer patients has been studied for the ability of slime secretion and biofilm formation using the Congo red agar (CRA) test and the microtiter plate (MtP) method, respectively. The prevalence of the icaAD and the aap genes was also analyzed. Some isolates (35.6%) were biofilm positive by the MtP method, while 58.9% of isolates exhibited...

Activity of Polish unifloral honeys against pathogenic bacteria and its correlation with colour, phenolic content, antioxidant capacity and other parameters.
PublikacjaThe use of honey as an antimicrobial agent gains importance due to often ineffectiveness of conventional treatment. However, activity of honey depends mainly on its botanical and geographical origin. To date, antimicrobial potential of Polish honeys has not yet been entirely investigated. In this study, 37 unifloral samples of 14 honey types (including rare varieties) from Poland were analysed and compared with manuka honey. The...

Whole-genome sequencing and antimicrobial potential of bacteria isolated from Polish honey
PublikacjaThe aim of this study was the whole-genome analysis and assessment of the antimicrobial potential of bacterial isolates from honey harvested in one geographical location—the north of Poland. In total, 132 strains were derived from three honey samples, and the antimicrobial activity of CFAM (cell-free after-culture medium) was used as a criterion for strain selection and detailed genomic investigation. Two of the tested isolates...

A comparative evaluation of PCR ribotyping and ERIC PCR for determining the diversity of clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates
PublikacjaW pracy porównano dwie metody stosowane do badania różnorodności genetycznej drobnoustrojów. Modelem do badań była grupa 62 klinicznych izolatów bakterii P. aeruginosa. Zdecydowanie wyższy potencjał różnicujący stwierdzono w przypadku metody ERIC PCR, której zastosowanie pozwoliło na wyodrębnienie 36 różnych genotypów. W przypadku rybotypowania wyróżniono tylko 9 genotypów.

PCR detection of Scopulariopsis brevicaulis
PublikacjaScopulariopsis brevicaulis is known as a most common etiological factor of the mould toenail infections. There are also reports indicating that S. brevicaulis could cause organ and disseminated infections. Nowadays microscopic observations from the direct sample and culture are crucial for the appropriate recognition of the infection. In this paper is presented a PCR-based method for S. brevicaulis detection. The specificity of...
