Silver ion was effectively bound to alginate film by the aid of DNA. Amounts of Ag(I) bound to the films (18 mm x 18 mm) were 4.2 micrograms and 24.7 micrograms in the absence and presence of DNA, respectively. The Ag(I)-induced films showed antibacterial activity for both of Escherichiacoli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and the activity of DNA-alginate film was obviously larger than alginate film. These results indicate that Ag(I) induced in the DNA-alginate film keeps the potent antibacterial activity, and so DNA is very useful as a carrier of silver ion in the alginate film.
借助DNA,银离子有效地结合到藻酸盐膜上。在不存在和存在DNA的情况下,结合到膜(18毫米×18毫米)上的Ag(I)量分别为4.2微克和24.7微克。Ag(I)诱导的膜对大肠杆菌(E. coli)和金黄色葡萄球菌(S. aureus)均表现出抗菌活性,且DNA-藻酸盐膜的活性明显大于藻酸盐膜。这些结果表明,在DNA-藻酸盐膜中诱导产生的Ag(I)保持了强大的抗菌活性,因此DNA作为藻酸盐膜中银离子的载体非常有用。
