若干需氧芽孢杆菌芽孢脂肪酸成分分析

SPORE CELLULAR FATTY ACIDS ANALYSIS OF SOME AEROBIC ENDOSPORE-FORMING BACILLI

51株需氧芽孢杆菌纯化后的芽孢培养物经处理抽提全细胞脂肪酸甲酯 ,用于气相色谱分析 ,同时以相应的繁殖体作为对照。芽孢脂肪酸成分的重现性实验发现 ,芽孢的脂肪酸成分比较稳定。将脂肪酸百分含量编制成原始数据矩阵 ,以 Statistica5.0统计软件进行聚类分析 ,得到两张分别基于芽孢脂肪酸成分和繁殖体脂肪酸成分的实验菌株树状聚类图。通过对比这两张图可以得出一些有意义的结论 ,同时也说明芽孢脂肪酸分析可望成为需氧芽孢杆菌化学分类的新手段。

A gas chromatographic analysis method was employed to determine the cellular fatty acids (CFAs)profiles of the spores of some aerobic endospore forming bacilli.Purified spore cultures of 51 experimentas strains were processed to acquire whole cell fatty acids methyl esters for the subsequent gas chromatographic analysis,and the corresponding vegetative cells were set as control.The reproducibility study of spore fatty acids revealed that,the fatty acids components of spores were stable enough for research purpose,provided under standardized experimentas procedure.The dendrograms obtained by cluster analysis provided some meaningful taxonomic information of the experimental strains.The fatty acids analysis of spores seemed to be a promising supplementary tool for the chemotaxonomic research of aerobic endospore-forming bacilli.
