Conflicting reports have been given as to the existence of a Legionella pneumophila siderophore. Hence, we rigorously examined the reported siderophore-like activity using the chrome azurol S indicator. Although chrome azurol S reactivity was detected in supernatants, control experiments indicate that it was due to cysteine in the media. When bacteria were cultured in media without cysteine, no siderophores were detected.
关于嗜肺军团菌铁载体的存在,已有相互矛盾的报道。因此,我们使用铬天青S指示剂对报道的类似铁载体的活性进行了严格检测。尽管在上清液中检测到了铬天青S反应性,但对照实验表明这是由于培养基中的半胱氨酸所致。当细菌在不含半胱氨酸的培养基中培养时,未检测到铁载体。
