SIPMP production was tested by inhibition of platelet microbicidal protein （PMP） bioactivity against B. subtilis and was expressed as percentage of inhibition of PMP bactericidal activity.RESULTS： Among anaerobic isolates 80% of B. longum strains, 85.7% of A. israeli/strains, 50% of E. lentum strains and 92.86% of B. fragilis strains were SIPMP-positive. The isolated anaerobic organisms demonstrated SIPMP production at a mean level of 13.8% ± 0.7%, 14.7% ± 1.8%, 3.9% ± 0.9% （P 〈 0.05） and 26.8% ± 7.5% （P 〈 0.05） for bifidobacteria, A. israelii, E. lentum and B. fragilis, respectively.CONCLUSION： Data from the present study may have significant implications in understanding the pathogenesis of microecological disorders in the intestine, as well as for future improvement in the prevention and therapy of anaerobe-associated infections.展开更多

These polymers have attracted particular attention as green plastic in biomedical and industrial applications due to their good biodegradability and bio- compatibility. Poly（3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvaler- ate） （PHBV） is one of the most common members of PHAs. However, there is no report comparing the properties of PHBV from different groups of producers, e.g., bacteria and haloarchaea. In this study, two types of PHBV copolymers were synthesized in Halogranum amylolyticum and Ralstonia eutropha, respectively, by feeding different carbon sources. They possessed a similar concentration of 3HV monomers （21 tool%） and were named PHBV-H （produced by H. arnylolyticum） and PHBV-B （produced by R. eutropha） based on their source. Interestingly, they exhibited different behaviors especially in thermal stabil- ity, melting temperature, crystallinity percentage, and mechanical properties. Furthermore, the films of PHBV-Hand PHBV-B possessed different surface properties, such as surface roughness, wettability, and surface free energy. The value of hemolysis on the PHBV-H film was lower in comparison with the PHBV-B film, although both values were within the limit of 5 % permissible for biomaterials. Notably, few inactivated platelets adhered to the surface of the PHBV-H film, whereas numerous activated platelets were seen on film PHBV-B. These results indicated that PHBV-H was a better potential component of blood-contact biomaterials than PHBV-B. Our study clearly revealed that the properties of PHAs are source dependent and haloarchaeal species provide a new opportunity for the production of desired PHAs.展开更多
