The ionic species that are formed during the microbial growth of Escherichia coli were determined by capillary isotachophoresis as a function of the time of cultivation. This formation was indicated by the change in a sum parameter, the impedance of the nutrient broth, measured by a special electrode system. Based on the determination of the individual ions formed under the given conditions (identified as acetate, lactate, alpha-ketoglutarate, fumarate, ammonium and probably a simple amine), the change in conductivity was calculated and compared with that obtained by the impedance measurement of the bulk medium. From the results it can be concluded that the change in the sum parameter as a function of time is originated by the ions determined.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D004586 Electrophoresis An electrochemical process in which macromolecules or colloidal particles with a net electric charge migrate in a solution under the influence of an electric current. Electrophoreses
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
