Résumé
The objective of this work was to study the antibacterial specificity and antibacterial effect of endolysins isolated from colibacteriophages RB43, RB49 and T5-as manifested on the exponential and stationary cell cultures of diverse bacteria depending on the growth stage, structure of peptidoglycan (PG) and antibiotic resistance. Enzyme activity was assayed by the spectrophotometric method. Antimicrobial activity was estimated by the number of colony forming units (CFUs), with the results represented as logarithmic units. Morphological examination of bacterial cells was conducted using phase-contrast and scanning electron microscopy. The enzymes EndoT5, endolysin of bacteriophage T5, EndoRB43, endolysin of bacteriophage RB43 and EndoRB49, endolysin of bacteriophage RB49 turned out to be much less bacteriospecific than the corresponding Escherichia coli phages; they lysed bacteria of the genera Bacillus, Cellulomonas and Sporosarcina, whose PGs had different structures (A1γ, A4α and A4β) and chemical modifications (amidation). The specific lytic activity of phage enzymes was independent of the antibiotic resistance of bacterial cells and was higher when the cells were in the exponential, rather than stationary, growth phase. The analysis of morphological changes showed that the intermediate stage of the endolysin-induced lysis of bacterial cells was the formation of spheroplasts and protoplasts. Endolysins of colibacteriophages RB49, RB43 and T5 have a wide spectrum of antibacterial action, which includes a number of diverse micro-organisms with different PG structures. This is a study of the bacterial selectivity of enzymes degrading bacterial cell wall in relation to the chemical structure of PG. It is shown that endolysins of bacteriophages RB49 and RB43 efficiently lyse cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria of the genus Bacillus and Gram-negative bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas (including an antibiotic-resistant strain). The number of bacterial cells is reduced by 3-6 orders of magnitude, which indicates good prospects for using these enzymes in biotechnology.
