Besides potential surface activity and some beneficial physical properties, biosurfactants express antibacterial activity. Bacterial cell membrane disrupting ability of rhamnolipid produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa C2 and a lipopeptide type biosurfactant, BS15 produced by Bacillus stratosphericus A15 was examined against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Escherichia coli K8813. Broth dilution technique was followed to examine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of both the biosurfactants. The combined effect of rhamnolipid and BS15 against S. aureus and E. coli showed synergistic activity by expressing fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index of 0.43 and 0.5. Survival curve of both the bacteria showed bactericidal activity after treating with biosurfactants at their MIC obtained from FIC index study as it killed >90% of initial population. The lesser value of MIC than minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the biosurfactants also supported their bactericidal activity against both the bacteria. Membrane permeability against both the bacteria was supported by amplifying protein release, increasing of cell surface hydrophobicity, withholding capacity of crystal violet dye and leakage of intracellular materials. Finally cell membrane disruption was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). All these experiments expressed synergism and effective bactericidal activity of the combination of rhamnolipid and BS15 by enhancing the bacterial cell membrane permeability. Such effect of the combination of rhamnolipid and BS15 could make them promising alternatives to traditional antibiotic in near future.
除了潜在的表面活性和一些有益的物理性质外,生物表面活性剂还表现出抗菌活性。研究了铜绿假单胞菌 C2 产生的鼠李糖脂和芽胞杆菌 stratosphericus A15 产生的脂肽型生物表面活性剂 BS15 对金黄色葡萄球菌 ATCC 25923 和大肠杆菌 K8813 的细胞膜破坏能力。采用肉汤稀释技术检测了两种生物表面活性剂的最小抑菌浓度(MIC)。鼠李糖脂和 BS15 联合作用对金黄色葡萄球菌和大肠杆菌表现出协同作用,其分数抑菌浓度(FIC)指数分别为 0.43 和 0.5。用 FIC 指数研究得到的 MIC 处理细菌后,两种细菌的存活曲线均表现出杀菌活性,因为它杀死了初始菌数的>90%。生物表面活性剂的 MIC 值小于最低杀菌浓度(MBC)也支持它们对两种细菌的杀菌活性。通过放大蛋白质释放、增加细胞表面疏水性、保留结晶紫染料的能力和细胞内物质的泄漏,支持了对两种细菌的膜通透性。最后,通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)确认了细胞膜的破坏。所有这些实验都通过增强细菌细胞膜通透性表达了鼠李糖脂和 BS15 联合使用的协同作用和有效杀菌活性。这种鼠李糖脂和 BS15 联合使用的效果可能使它们成为未来传统抗生素的有希望的替代品。
