Functional characterization of extracellular vesicles produced by Bacteroides gingivalis

Open access
Grenier, D, Mayrand, D·1987·Infection and Immunity

Abstract

Extracellular vesicles of Bacteroides gingivalis (type strain 33277) were isolated, and some of their biological activities were characterized. The vesicles were obtained from a 2-day culture after ammonium sulfate precipitation, differential centrifugation, and dialysis. When viewed by electron microscopy, vesicles of approximately 50 nm predominated. The results indicated that the enriched vesicle fraction had a high proteolytic activity against collagen, Azocoll, and N-alpha-benzoyl-DL-arginine p-nitroanilide. The polypeptide pattern of the vesicles was similar but not identical to that of the outer membrane. The membrane vesicles could also promote bacterial adherence between homologous cells as well as mediate attachment between two noncoaggregating bacterial species. These vesicles could thus play an important role in periodontal diseases by serving as a vehicle for toxins and various proteolytic enzymes, as well as being involved in adherence.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
