| Abstract |
When enterobacterium, Escherichia coli B was cultivated with normal media in the presence of 0.2~0.6% Palmitoylcarnitine and 0.05~0.2% Ginseng Saponin, maximum population growth of the bacteria was presented 71% and 31%, respectively. Such a result, in vitro test, was concluded from the result that both detergents stimulated C^14-glucose, C^14-alanine and C^14-phosphatidylethanolamine uptake into the membrane of cells. The pre-treatment of cells with different amounts of Palmitoylcarnitine from 0.005~0.05μ moles represented a significant increase of uptake, 33% of C^14-glucose, 129% of C^14-alanine and 158% of phosphatidylethanolamine at the concentration of 0.05μ moles of Palmitoylcarnitine. On the other hand, the result of C^-2% Saponin treatment showed the maximum value of uptake, 17% of C^14-glucose and 112% of C^14-alanine. In case of C^14-phosphatidylethanolamine, the maximum uptake showed 25% of increase at the concentration of C^14% Saponin. |
