A suitable procedure to choose antimicrobials as controlling agents in fermentations performed by bacteria
This work evaluated the influence of nitrofurantoin, erythromycin and streptomycin at 50, 25 and 12,5% of the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) on maximum specific growth rate (µmax) and specific polymer accumulation rate (µPHB) of Alcaligenes eutrophus, considered resistant to those antimicrob...

Zusammenfassung: | This work evaluated the influence of nitrofurantoin, erythromycin and streptomycin at 50, 25 and 12,5% of the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) on maximum specific growth rate (µmax) and specific polymer accumulation rate (µPHB) of Alcaligenes eutrophus, considered resistant to those antimicrobials. Nitrofurantoin strongly affected µmax even at 50% MIC. Streptomycin moderately affected µmax only at 50%MIC. Nitrofurantoin showed the most harmful effect on µPHB when 50% MIC was applied and erythromycin was not harmful.
Avaliou-se o efeito de concentrações inferiores à mínima inibitória (50, 25 e 12,5% do MIC) de nitrofurantoína, estreptomicina e eritromicina sobre velocidade específica máxima de crescimento (µmax) e velocidade específica de acúmulo de polímero (µPHB) em Alcaligenes eutrophus, considerada resistente a estes antimicrobianos. Nitrofurantoína modificou bastante µmax, mesmo com 50% MIC. Estreptomicina afetou moderadamente e eritromicina não afetou µmax. Quanto à produção de polímero, nitrofurantoína alterou fortemente µPHB quando se empregou 50% MIC. |
