Abstract
Effect of streptomycin on the incorporation of S35-Sulfate and P32-phosphate into streptomycin-sensitive, streptomycin-resistant, and streptomycin-indifferent cells of Mycobacterium avium, Jucho, were investigated. The streptomycin-resistant strain used was isolated by the multi-step selection with the use of increasing concentrations of streptomycin. Thestreptomycin-indifferent strain used was isolated by the one-step selection in the presence of 1, 000 μg of strepto-mycin per ml. Both strains were resistant to more than 10, 000 μg of streptomycin per ml.
1. Incorporation of S35-sulfate into the protein fraction of streptomycin-sensitive cells was inhibited by the presence of 10 μg of streptomycin hydro-chloride per ml of phopshate buffer solution (pH7.1). However, incorporation of S35-sulfate into acid-soluble fraction was never inhibited by the same concen-tration of the drug.
2. Incorporation of S35-sulfate into protein fractions of streptomycin-resis-tant and streptomycin-indifferent cells was not inhibited by the presence of 10μg of streptomycin per ml, and they, however, were considerably inhibited by the presence of 1, 000μg of streptomycin per ml.
3. Incorporation of S35-sulfate into streptomycin-resistant cells occurred much more slowly than the incorporation of S35-into streptomycin-sensitive cells and streptomycin-resistant cells.
4. Incorporation of P32-orthophosphate into acid-soluble, nucleic acid and protein fractions of streptomycin-sensitive cells was considerably inhibited by the presence of 10μg of streptomycin per ml. On the other hand, incorporation of P32 into streptomycin-resistant cells and streptomycin-indifferent cells was not inhibited even by the presence of 1, 000μg of streptomycin per ml.
