[The effect of the intra- and extracellular metabolites of microorganisms isolated from various ecotopes on the catalase activity of Staphylococcus aureus 6538P].
The cell extracts (i.e., intracellular metabolites) and culture liquids (i.e., extracellular metabolites) of microorganisms isolated from various ecotopes were found to inhibit the catalase activity of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538P, which resulted in a considerable inhibition of the growth of metabolite-treated S. aureus cells by hydrogen peroxide. The inhibitory effect of microbial metabolites on S. aureus catalase can be considered as a mechanism of intercellular interactions responsible for the formation of microbiocenoses.
