Summary
Hormonal effects on substrate incorporation into various cellular fractions such as protein, nucleic acid and mucopeptide, have been investigated to elucidate the reported steroidal retardation of staphylococcal growth. Bacteria suspended in synthetic medium were exposed to 14C-compounds in the presence and absence of hormones. Progesterone at 40 μg per ml significantly altered the entrance of glutamic acid, lysine and alanine into all cellular fractions of Staphylococcus aureus. With…

The ability of penicillin to induce permeability changes in Staphylococcus aureus was markedly enhanced by selected gonadal steroids and an extracellular site of hormonal action located on the cell envelope is suggested.

In vitro effects of the synthetic oestrogenic hormone diethylstilbestrol (DS) and diethylonbestrol dipropionate (DSP) on Candida albicans have been assessed and respiration, the uptake, and incorporation of nutrients by C.Albicans was not influenced when the cells were ‘resting’.
