The bacterial colicin active against tumor cells in vitro and in vivo is verotoxin 1.
Farkas-Himsley, H, Hill, R, Rosen, B, Arab, S, Lingwood, C A
We have identified verotoxin 1 (VT1) as the active component within an antineoplastic bacteriocin preparation from Escherichia coli HSC10 studied over two decades. Recombinant VT1 can simulate the...
Mode of Action of Vibriocin: Initial Interaction with Vibrio comma Cells
Krol, Peter M., Farkas-Himsley, H.
Certain metabolic requirements, upon initial interaction of sensitive cells with vibriocin, were a prerequisite for lethal activity. Transient “immunity” of these cells, manifested under...
Bacteriocin typing by leakage of ultraviolet light-absorbing material.
A rapid and reproducible method of bacteriocin typing is described based on leakage of ultraviolet light-absorbing material (UVAM), detectable in supernatants of bacteriocin-sensitive cultures, by...
Killing of Chlorine-Resistant Bacteria by Chlorine-Bromine Solutions
The disinfective power of chlorine, bromine, and mixtures of chlorine and bromine at different ratios was compared. The influence of pH was also studied. The experiments were carried out in...
