摘要
The effect of 16 Bacillus strains from pharmaceutical probiotic preparations (Bacillus spp.) and collection (B. subtilis, B. firmus, B. megaterium, B. pumilus) on genotoxicity induced by the known mutagen 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4-NQO) was studied using the short-term bacterial assay SOS-chromotest, with Escherichia coli PQ37 as the tester organism. It was found that the activity of 0.1 mM 4-NQO was reduced (P < 0.01) after coincubation with Bacillus suspensions (10(8) CFU/ml for 150 min at 37 degreesC). All isolates showed potential for deactivating 4-NQO, and genotoxicity inhibition ranged from 92.9 to 100%. There were no appreciable differences in behaviour observed among probiotic and collection strains or in relation to species. The observed antigenotoxicity was associated with a clear-cut modification of 4-NQO molecular characteristics. (C) 2002 Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.
