摘要

The membrane integrity of a cell is a well-accepted criterion for characterizing viable (active or inactive) cells and distinguishing them from damaged and membrane-compromised cells. This information is of major importance in studies of the function of microbial assemblages in natural environments, in order to assign bulk activities measured by various methods to the very active cells that are effectively responsible for the observations. To achieve this task for bacteria in freshwater and marine waters, we propose a nucleic acid double-staining assay based on analytical flow cytometry, which allows us to distinguish viable from damaged and membrane-compromised bacteria and to sort out noise and detritus. This method is derived from the work of S. Barbesti et al. (Cytometry 40:214–218, 2000) which was conducted on cultured bacteria. The principle of this approach is to use simultaneously a permeant (SYBR Green; Molecular Probes) and an impermeant (propidium iodide) probe and to take advantage of the energy transfer which occurs between them when both probes are staining nucleic acids. A full quenching of the permeant probe fluorescence by the impermeant probe will point to cells with a compromised membrane, a partial quenching will indicate cells with a slightly damaged membrane, and a lack of quenching will characterize intact membrane cells identified as viable. In the present study, this approach has been adapted to bacteria in freshwater and marine waters of the Mediterranean region. It is fast and easy to use and shows that a large fraction of bacteria with low DNA content can be composed of viable cells. Admittedly, limitations stem from the unknown behavior of unidentified species present in natural environments which may depart from the established permeability properties with respect to the fluorescing dyes.

Barbesti等人的工作。 (Cytometry 40:214–218,2000)是对培养的细菌进行的。这种方法的原理是同时使用渗透性(SYBR Green;分子探针)和渗透性(碘化丙啶)探针,并利用两个探针对核酸染色时它们之间发生的能量转移。不渗透探针对渗透探针荧光的完全淬灭将指向具有受损膜的细胞,部分淬灭将指示具有轻微受损膜的细胞,而缺乏淬灭则将被鉴定为存活的完整膜细胞表征为特征。在本研究中,这种方法已经适应了地中海地区淡水和海水中的细菌。它快速且易于使用,显示出大部分具有低DNA含量的细菌可以由活细胞组成。当然,局限性是由于存在于自然环境中的身份不明物种的未知行为而引起的,这可能与针对荧光染料的既定渗透性不同。
