The effects of various growth conditions on the production of streptococcal erythrogenic toxin B (streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin B [SPE B]) by Streptococcus pyogenes were analyzed. SPE B was detected in broth culture supernatant fluid only during the stationary phase of growth when glucose and other potential carbon sources were depleted from the medium. Additionally, SPE B production was inhibited when the concentration of glucose in the medium was maintained. These results suggest that SPE B is secreted under conditions of starvation and may be involved in nutrient acquisition.
分析了不同生长条件对化脓性链球菌产生链球菌致热外毒素B(链球菌热原性外毒素B [SPE B])的影响。仅在生长稳定期,当培养基中的葡萄糖和其他潜在碳源耗尽时,才在肉汤培养上清液中检测到SPE B。此外,当培养基中葡萄糖浓度保持不变时,SPE B的产生受到抑制。这些结果表明,SPE B是在饥饿条件下分泌的,可能参与营养获取。
