大葱提取物葱辣素的体外抗菌和抗病毒作用研究

大葱挥发油的主要活性成份是葱辣素,本项目拟针对大葱提取物葱辣素开展抗菌和抗病毒作用系列研究。采用试管稀释法及抑菌环试验,测定葱辣素对金黄色葡萄球菌、大肠埃希菌的最低抑菌浓度(MIC)和最低杀菌浓度(MBC);以细胞病变抑制法和中性红染色法,用Reed-muench法计算其50%细胞毒性浓度(TC50),最大无毒浓度(TC0),50%抑制浓度(IC50)和治疗指数(TI),判断其抗呼吸道合胞病毒作用。结果显示,葱辣素体外有一定的抗G+菌和G-菌作用。葱辣素对HEp-2细胞的半数中毒浓度(TC50)为6.3μg/mL,最大无毒浓度(TC0)为3.6μg/mL,对病毒的50%抑制浓度(IC50)为1.7μg/mL,TI为3.71;葱辣素可呈剂量依赖性地改善呼吸道合胞病毒感染所致的细胞病变,抑制病毒增殖。这将为葱辣素的进一步开发与临床应用研究提供坚实的科学依据。     

Study on the Effect of Mutated Bacillus megaterium in Two－Stage Fermentation of Vitamin C

Bacillus megaterium as a companion strain in two-stage fermentation of vitamin C could secrete some active substances to spur growth of Gluconobacter oxydans to produce 2-KLG. In the fermenting system where Gluconobacter oxydans was combined with GB82-a mutated strain of B. megaterium by ion implantation, the amount of 2-KLG harvested was larger than that produced by the original B. megaterium BP52[1] being substituted for GB82. In this paper, we studied the effect of the active substances secreted by GB82 to enhance the capability of Gluconobacter oxydans to produce 2-KLG. The supernate of GB82 sampled at different cultivation times all had much more activity to spur Gluconobacter oxydans to yield 2-KLG than that of the original B. megaterium, which might be due to the genetic changes in the active components caused by ion implantation. Furthermore, the active substances of GB82‘s supernate would lose a part of its activity in extreme environments, which is typical of some proteins.
