ON SOME ELECTRONIC ASPECTS OF THE ACTION OF CERTAIN METALLIC CATIONS ON THE GROWTH OF AEROBIC BACTERIA (ESCHERICHIA COLI) AND OF ANAEROBIC BACTERIA (CLOSTRIDIUM SPOROGENES)
Abstract
Studies were made on the different reactions that are produced during the growth of cultures of aerobic germs (E. coli) and anaerobic germs (Cl. sporogenes), the way in which cations of different metals (Mn(2+), Fe(2+), Co(2+), Ni(2+)) act on the multiplication of these germs. The experimental results are in agreement with the predictions. In a synthetic medium with glucose, Fe(2+) and Mn(2+) favor the growth of E. coli, Co(2+) decreases it by 50% and Ni(2+) inhibits it completely, while Ni(2+) and Co(2+) stimulate the growth of an anaerobic germ (Cl. sporogenes), cultivated in a complex medium with glucose.
