- Test organisms (species):

- Details on inoculum:
- - Laboratory culture: The test bacteria E. coli ATCC 11775 was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection.
Mycobacterium smegmatis M169 was also used for the study.
- Method of cultivation: Portions of 150 ml of culture from diluted broth were transfered to 1 liter Erlenmeyer flasks. 30 minutes later when the bacteria were in the logarithmic growth phase the chemical was added. Samples of the incubated cultures were taken every 45 min. Particle-free saline (0.85%) and formaldehyde (2%) solution were added to stop multiplication as well as to dilute the solution to about 1,000- 10,000 organisms per count. Counting was achieved with a Coulter counter Model ZB equipped with a 0.030-mm orifice; counts per 0.050 ml were obtained. The instrument settings were: l/aperture current, 1; l/amplification, 4; matching switch, 40 K; gain, 10; lower threshold, 7; upper threshold, maximum.
The MIC was determined by the standard procedures.
Along with the Coulter counter experiments samples were drawn from the cultures under toxicant treatment. Culture suspension (0.5 ml) was diluted with saline. The solution, now containing 10 - 100 organisms/ml, was pipetted onto each of five petridishes. After mixing the saline suspension with 5 ml of melted agar, the bacteria were allowed to multiply for 48 hr at 37°C. The resulting colonies were counted.
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure: The stock cultures were maintained on agar slants at room temperature.
The culture broth used was dextrose-salts-casamino acids (vitamin-free), pH 6.9. This broth culture was inoculated from an agar culture and the bacteria allowed to grow for 12 to 16 hr at 37°C. From this broth, cultures were prepared by dilution with medium to obtain 104 cells/ml.
- Pretreatment: No data available
- Initial biomass concentration: 104 cells/ml
