[Action of ozone on the membrane-dependent functions of Candida utilis yeast cells]. 1982

S V Konev, and V K Matus, and A M Mel'nikova, and A N Rudenok

The action of ozone on the structural-functional state of plasmic membranes was studied with Candida utilis cells. The damage of the membranes resulting in disorders of permeability barriers for nucleotides was not identical to damages which made the cells stained with methylene blue. The curve for the damage of membrane integrity (staining with methylene blue) coincided with the curve for the survival of C. utilis cells; therefore, the bacterial action of ozone consists mainly in damaging the surface cell structures.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008751	Methylene Blue	A compound consisting of dark green crystals or crystalline powder, having a bronze-like luster. Solutions in water or alcohol have a deep blue color. Methylene blue is used as a bacteriologic stain and as an indicator. It inhibits GUANYLATE CYCLASE, and has been used to treat cyanide poisoning and to lower levels of METHEMOGLOBIN.

D010126	Ozone	The unstable triatomic form of oxygen, O3. It is a powerful oxidant that is produced for various chemical and industrial uses. Its production is also catalyzed in the ATMOSPHERE by ULTRAVIOLET RAY irradiation of oxygen or other ozone precursors such as VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS and NITROGEN OXIDES. About 90% of the ozone in the atmosphere exists in the stratosphere (STRATOSPHERIC OZONE).

D002175	Candida	A genus of yeast-like mitosporic Saccharomycetales fungi characterized by producing yeast cells, mycelia, pseudomycelia, and blastophores. It is commonly part of the normal flora of the skin, mouth, intestinal tract, and vagina, but can cause a variety of infections, including CANDIDIASIS; ONYCHOMYCOSIS; VULVOVAGINAL CANDIDIASIS; and CANDIDIASIS, ORAL (THRUSH).
