Abstract:
:The culturability of Vibrio cholerae O1 serotype Inaba strain 569B was decreased by the addition of glucose to cell suspensions in starvation media. A similar effect was observed with sucrose, maltose, and fructose. We term this inhibitory effect glucose shock. It was not observed with arabinose or xylose or with carboxylates, such as acetate and pyruvate. No acidification of the medium occurred in the presence of these carbohydrates. Glucose shock was prevented by the addition of nitrogen or phosphorus sources. In the presence of phosphate, the bacterium produced formic acid from glucose. The phenomenon of glucose shock was also observed in V. cholerae O1 serotype Inaba strain RIMD 2203082 but not in strain RIMD 2203088 (O1 Inaba), IID 936 (O1 Ogawa), or RIMD 2214034 (non-O1). The culturability of Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Listonella anguillarum did not decrease in starvation media with added glucose. Hence, the phenomenon should have ecological significance in determining the distribution of bacteria in marine ecosystems in situations where carbohydrates are abundant, but nitrogen and phosphorus are limiting.
