To investigate the effect of iron limitation on the amount of slime production by most strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis, ethylenediamine-di-o-hydroxyphenol acetic acid (EDDA), was added to the growth medium and twenty clinically relevant strains were assayed for slime production during growth in standard tryptic soy broth (TSB) and iron-limited TSB. Findings revealed that the density of the biofilm which formed on the base of microtitre plates was dependent on the degree of iron limitation, characteristics of the test strains and the stage of the growth cycle.
为研究铁限制对大多数表皮葡萄球菌菌株产生黏液量的影响，将乙二胺二邻羟基苯乙酸（EDDA）添加到生长培养基中，并对20株临床相关菌株在标准胰蛋白酶大豆肉汤（TSB）和铁限制TSB中生长期间的黏液产生情况进行检测。结果显示，在微量滴定板底部形成的生物膜密度取决于铁限制程度、受试菌株的特性以及生长周期阶段。
