The BacLight™ RedoxSensor™ CTC Vitality Kit provides effective reagents for evaluating bacterial cell health and vitality that can withstand fixation procedures. Briefly, healthy cells respiring via the electron transport chain will absorb and reduce CTC into an insoluble, red fluorescent formazan product. Cells not respiring or respiring at slower rates will reduce less CTC and consequently produce less fluorescent product, giving a semi-quantitative estimate of healthy vs. unhealthy bacteria. Green- and blue-fluorescent nucleic acid stains are included as counterstains to assist differentiation of cells from debris and calculating total cell numbers.

常見問答集 (常見問題)

What bacterial parameters can I look at by flow cytometry?

You can stain bacteria with a general stain such as BacLight Green Bacterial Stain (Cat. No. B35000) or BacLight Red Bacterial Stain (Cat. No. B35001). You can look at gram character (Cat. No. L7005), cell viability (Cat. Nos. L7007, L7012, and L13152), cell count (Cat. Nos. L34856 and B7277), and cell vitality. Cell vitality can be measured by membrane potential (Cat. No. B34950) or by metabolism (Cat. Nos. B34954 and B34956).

Abstract
Flow cytometric analysis of 5-cyano-2,3-ditolyl tetrazolium chloride activity of marine bacterioplankton in dilution cultures.
Authors:Sieracki ME, Cucci TL, Nicinski J,
Journal:Appl Environ Microbiol
PubMed ID:10347021
'The respiratory activity of marine bacteria is an important indication of the ecological functioning of these organisms in marine ecosystems. The redox dye 5-cyano-2,3-ditolyl tetrazolium chloride (CTC) is reduced intracellularly in respiring cells to an insoluble, fluorescent precipitate. This product is detectable and quantifiable by flow cytometry in individual cells. ... More
Comparison of the antimicrobial effects of chlorine, silver ion, and tobramycin on biofilm.
Authors:Kim J, Pitts B, Stewart PS, Camper A, Yoon J,
Journal:Antimicrob Agents Chemother
PubMed ID:18195062
'The systematic understanding of how various antimicrobial agents are involved in controlling biofilms is essential in order to establish an effective strategy for biofilm control, since many antimicrobial agents are effective against planktonic cells but are ineffective when they are used against the same bacteria growing in a biofilm state. ... More
Characterization of osmotically induced filaments of Salmonella enterica.
Authors:Pratt ZL, Chen B, Czuprynski CJ, Wong AC, Kaspar CW,
Journal:Appl Environ Microbiol
PubMed ID:22798362
'Salmonella enterica forms aseptate filaments with multiple nucleoids when cultured in hyperosmotic conditions. These osmotic-induced filaments are viable and form single colonies on agar plates even though they contain multiple genomes and have the potential to divide into multiple daughter cells. Introducing filaments that are formed during osmotic stress into ... More
Inactivation of Escherichia coli by nanoparticulate zerovalent iron and ferrous ion.
Authors:Kim JY, Park HJ, Lee C, Nelson KL, Sedlak DL, Yoon J,
Journal:Appl Environ Microbiol
PubMed ID:20870787
'The mechanism of Escherichia coli inactivation by nanoparticulate zerovalent iron (nZVI) and Fe(II) was investigated using reactive oxygen species (ROS) quenchers and probes, an oxidative stress assay, and microscopic observations. Disruption of cell membrane integrity and respiratory activity was observed under deaerated conditions [more disruption by nZVI than Fe(II)], and ... More
How the insect immune system interacts with an obligate symbiotic bacterium.
Authors:Douglas AE, Bouvaine S, Russell RR,
Journal:Proc Biol Sci
PubMed ID:20719775
The animal immune system provides defence against microbial infection, and the evolution of certain animal-microbial symbioses is predicted to involve adaptive changes in the host immune system to accommodate the microbial partner. For example, the reduced humoral immune system in the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum, including an apparently non-functional immune ... More
