| Abstract | Trisodium phosphate (TSP) is now widely used during the processing of poultry and red meats, but the mechanism whereby it inactivates gram-negative bacteria such Salmonella spp. remains unclear. Thus, Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (ATCC 4931) cells were treated with different concentrations of TSP (1.5, 2.0, and 2.5% [wt/vol]) and compared with (i) cells treated with the same pH as the TSP treatments (pH 10.0, 10.5, and 11.0, respectively) and (ii) cells treated with different concentrations of TSP (1.5, 2.0, and 2.5% [wt/vol]) adjusted to a pH of 7.0 ± 0.2 (mean ± standard deviation). Cell viability, loss of membrane integrity, cellular leakage, release of lipopolysaccharides, and cell morphology were accordingly examined and quantified under the above treatment conditions. Exposure of serovar Enteritidis cells to TSP or equivalent alkaline pH resulted in the loss of cell viability and membrane integrity in a TSP concentration- or alkaline pH-dependent manner. In contrast, cells treated with different concentrations of TSP whose pH was adjusted to 7.0 did not show any loss of cell viability or membrane integrity. A 30-min pretreatment with 1.0 mM EDTA significantly enhanced the loss of membrane integrity only when followed by TSP or alkaline pH treatments. Measuring the absorbance at 260 nm, agarose gel electrophoresis, Bradford assay, and Tricine-sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis of filtrates of treated cell suspensions revealed considerable release of DNA, proteins, and lipopolysaccharides compared to controls and pH 7.0 TSP treatments. Electron microscopic examination of TSP- or alkaline pH-treated cells showed disfigured cell surface topology and wrinkled appearance and showed evidence of a TSP concentration- and pH-dependent disruption of the cytoplasmic and outer membranes. These results demonstrate that TSP treatment permeabilizes and disrupts the cytoplasmic and outer membranes of serovar Enteritidis cells because of the alkaline pH, which in turn leads to release of intracellular contents and eventual cell death. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
