Several 1-methyloxindohdyl-3-methines have been synthesized, either by condensation of 1-methyloxindole with an aldehyde, or by a Wittig reaction of a chloromethylene compound with a 1-methylisatin When examined m the mass spectrometer the expected ion reactions were observed and, in addition, a reaction involving expulsion of the carbonyl group of the oxindole moiety and rearrangement of the residual fragment, to give a 1-methylbenzo[b]azepinium ion was observed. The anions of the oxindolidyluracilmethines 4 and 5, (R = Me, R′ = OH) had an absorption band near 380 mμ but the corresponding neutral molecules absorbed at 325–350 mμ. The 5-nitrofuran derivatives 3 were the only compounds that inhibited the growth of Bacillus subtilis.

Like sporidesmin, gliotoxin catalyzes the decomposition of azide in the presence of iodine, and this catalysis can be used for its estimation. The presence of respiring cells of Bacillus subtilis does not interfere with the estimation. Thus it was possible to show that the concentration of gliotoxin decreased when solutions of the antibiotic were incubated with respiring cells. The rate of the decomposition was independent of the gliotoxin concentration in the range 2–25 μg/ml, but was dependent on the number of cells, the pH, and the available nitrogen in the suspending medium. Loss of gliotoxin was most rapid at pH 5.5 and continued when the supernatant was reincubated after centrifugal removal of the cells. No loss of gliotoxin occurred when solutions were incubated in the absence of cells at pH 5.5. By contrast, chemical degradation at pH 8.0 was inhibited in the presence of cells. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that B. subtilis secretes an enzyme which degrades the disulfide group in gliotoxin.

A decrease in therapeutic effect of some live lacto- and bifdobacteria-based drugs for veterinary use has been observed for the last 20 years that urges scientists to search for new microorganisms possessing probiotic properties. Many studies in this feld are focused onBacillus subtilisthat is widespread in the environment and non-pathogenic for animals and humans. Results of tests ofBacillus subtilisfor its biological properties and antagonistic activity aimed at optimization of methodical approaches for detection of strain with the highest antagonistic effect on some opportunistic microorganisms and their further use as probiotics are described. Cultural morphological and biochemical characteristics of the tested strains conformed to the species characteristics ofBacillus subtilis.Tested strains were nonpathogenic for white mice. Tests showed that spore biomass could be prepared both in liquid and on solid nutrient media. Methodically, spore biomass preparation in liquid nutrient medium is preferable. The tests showed that spores emerged from anabiosis non-uniformly and it depended on original seed spore storage period. Spore cultures stored less than one year emerged from anabiosis more quickly. It was found that the spores formed more readily when the cultures were aerated with oxygen as well as that lag-phase culture medium had a stimulating effect onBacillus subtilisspore germination.Bacillus subtilisstrains were found to have antagonistic effect onEscherichia coli, SalmonellaandStaphylococcus. Area of growth inhibition of the said bacteria was 15–20 mm. TestedBacillus subtilisstrains could be proposed for use as probiotics.
