[Adsorption of spin-labeled flocculants on E. coli cells]. 1985

N I Kuptsova, and N V Nikitin, and B P Nikolaev, and L N Petrov, and A Ia Teslenko

The interaction of intact E. coli cells with polymeric flocculants polyethylenimine and dextran was being studied by spin-labelling. The nitroxyl groups of spin-labelled polymers are reduced during formation of the adsorption layer on the cell surface. Some peculiarities of redox reactions between polymer macroradicals and units of the bacterial electron-transport chain were studied depending of temperature and flocculation regime. The course of the reduction of spin-labelled polymer radicals and characteristics of EPR spectra of the flocculant give evidence on the formation of a loose polymeric layer on the surface of E. coli cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011094 Polyethyleneimine Strongly cationic polymer that binds to certain proteins; used as a marker in immunology, to precipitate and purify enzymes and lipids. Synonyms: aziridine polymer; Epamine; Epomine; ethylenimine polymer; Montrek; PEI; Polymin(e). Polyaziridine,Polyethylenimine,Polyaziridines,Polyethyleneimines,Polyethylenimines
D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
D005427 Flocculation The aggregation of suspended solids into larger clumps. Flocculations
D000327 Adsorption The adhesion of gases, liquids, or dissolved solids onto a surface. It includes adsorptive phenomena of bacteria and viruses onto surfaces as well. ABSORPTION into the substance may follow but not necessarily. Adsorptions
D013113 Spin Labels Molecules which contain an atom or a group of atoms exhibiting an unpaired electron spin that can be detected by electron spin resonance spectroscopy and can be bonded to another molecule.
