Competitive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (cRT-PCR) was used to quantify the toxin-encoding mRNA production of a Clostridium botulinum type E strain in media containing either sorbic acid or sodium nitrite. A 10-fold reduction in toxin mRNA production and a 25-fold reduction in the proportion of toxin mRNA to total RNA, was estimated when either 1 mg ml(-1) sorbic acid or 100 microg ml(-1) sodium nitrite were added to the medium at pH 7.0.
竞争性逆转录聚合酶链反应(cRT-PCR)用于定量在含有山梨酸或亚硝酸钠的培养基中肉毒杆菌E型菌株的毒素编码mRNA产量。当在pH 7.0的培养基中添加1 mg/ml山梨酸或100 μg/ml亚硝酸钠时,估计毒素mRNA产量降低了10倍,毒素mRNA占总RNA的比例降低了25倍。
