title: Improved SDS-Page method for protein profiles analysis of actinomyces species.
abstract: A simple, rapid SDS-Page method for protein profiles analysis of Actinomyces species was developed. Eighteen strains (12 reference strains and 6 fresh isolates) representing four species were used in this study. Eight detergents were tested for protein extraction. Cell extracts were obtained by shaking the bacteria suspended in a solution containing a detergent and glass beads. After electrophoresis, according to the Laemmli's technique, two protein stain procedure were tested (Coomassie blue and silver stain). Best results were obtained with 0.5% Triton X-100 for 4 h and the silver stain procedure of Oakley. Protein profiles analysis showed that the method is reproducible and distinguishes not only species but sometimes also subspecies.
