Effect of different growth conditions on the discrimination of three bacteria by pyrolysis gas-liquid chromatography

Abstract: High-resolution pyrolysis gas-liquid chromatography was applied to three bacteria (Escherichia coli NCTC 9001, Pseudomonas putida NCIB 9494, and Staphylococcus aureus NCTC 8532) grown under a variety of conditions. Changing the culture medium drastically altered the quantitative aspects of the pyrograms of all three organisms, but the effects of culture time and incubation temperature were less severe. Mathematical analysis of the relative peak heights showed that four peaks could be used to discriminate the t… Show more

“…Comparable effects are known from the influences of food source 21 and differences in cell age. [22][23][24] At an elementary level, the formation of clusters by growth temperature from all bacterial samples, regardless of genus, means that some consistent pattern of dependence on temperature exists in all these bacteria and can be extracted in chemical characterizations. Such consistency, if identified, could be removed or stripped from data sets leaving chemical composition reflecting those constituents that are independent of growth temperature.…”

“…33 These are usually associated with variations, particularly when uncontrolled or unknown, in temperature of growth, 34 cell age, 35 and food sources. 18,[36][37][38] In the absence of rigorous control of these variations, fingerprint methods are disqualified since libraries are rendered unreliable from changes in the chemical components of bacteria. In the alternative approach of biomarker identification, chemicals specific to a bacterium even under controlled conditions must be identified often amid complex mixtures.…”
