The work was aimed at studying the effect of cationic, anionic and non-ionogenic surfactants on the frequency dependence of the electroorientation effect (EOE) and on the electrophoretic mobility (EPM) of rod-like bacteria. The character of concentration dependences was found to differ for EOE and EPM at a low frequency of the electric field (20 to 10(4) Hz). Analysis of EOE changes at a high frequency (4 X 10(5) to 3 X 10(7) Hz) showed that anionic and non-ionogenic surfactants at a concentration up to 10(-3) M did not damage Escherichia coli, a Gram-negative bacterium, in contrast to Bacillus cereus, a Gram-positive bacterium. Cationic surfactants affected the cells of the both species. The optical properties of bacterial cells were found to change under the action of cationic surfactants.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D004560 Electricity The physical effects involving the presence of electric charges at rest and in motion.
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
D001409 Bacillus cereus A species of rod-shaped bacteria that is a common soil saprophyte. Its spores are widespread and multiplication has been observed chiefly in foods. Contamination may lead to food poisoning.
