Introduction

單癸酸甘油酯（MGDG）是一種儲(chǔ)存在生物膜中的重要二酯類膜脂，具有廣泛的生物學(xué)功能。研究表明，MGDG在植物保護(hù)機(jī)制、抗氧化防御和DNA損傷修復(fù)等方面發(fā)揮著重要的作用。然而，關(guān)于MGDG對(duì)細(xì)菌的抑菌作用及其作用機(jī)制的研究還不夠充分。由于抗生素濫用和細(xì)菌耐藥問(wèn)題的嚴(yán)重性，探究新型生物源劑的抗菌機(jī)制，對(duì)于尋找新的抗菌藥物具有重要的意義。

Methods

本研究選擇大腸桿菌和金黃色葡萄球菌作為研究對(duì)象，通過(guò)菌落計(jì)數(shù)法來(lái)研究MGDG對(duì)其生長(zhǎng)的抑制作用。接下來(lái)，我們運(yùn)用熒光染色、MEMS技術(shù)以及WesternBlot技術(shù)等多種方法，默把MGDG作用于大腸桿菌和金黃色葡萄球菌的抑菌機(jī)制進(jìn)行了探究。

Results

研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，MGDG對(duì)大腸桿菌和金黃色葡萄球菌均具有不同程度的抑菌作用。通過(guò)熒光染色和MEMS技術(shù)分析，發(fā)現(xiàn)MGDG與細(xì)胞膜高度親合，能夠破壞細(xì)胞膜結(jié)構(gòu)從而導(dǎo)致膜電位及其函數(shù)失調(diào)。此外，我們也發(fā)現(xiàn)，MGDG還可以抑制多種細(xì)胞酶的活性，并促進(jìn)細(xì)菌細(xì)胞凋亡。通過(guò)WesternBlot技術(shù)，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)ATP合成酶的活性受到了明顯的抑制，這表明MGDG還可能通過(guò)ATP代謝途徑參與了細(xì)菌的抑制作用。

Conclusions

本研究結(jié)果表明，MGDG對(duì)大腸桿菌和金黃色葡萄球菌的抑菌作用受到細(xì)胞膜的結(jié)構(gòu)和功能的直接影響，并且參與ATP代謝途徑的調(diào)節(jié)。這些結(jié)果為深入探究MGDG抗菌機(jī)制及其在藥物開發(fā)中的應(yīng)用提供了指導(dǎo)意義。
