Effects of epigallocatechin gallate on the cell-wall structure of Mycobacterial smegmatis mc 2 155

Listed in DataCite

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the main component of green tea extracts that inhibits the growth of Mycobacterial smegmatis mc 2 155, and the mechanism is not clear.

Description

This study showed the effects of EGCG on the growth of mc 2 155. The content and the structure of EGCG in LB medium with mc 2 155 were identified by HPLC and LC/MS.

Transmission electron microscopy was utilised to identify the cell envelope structure. As a result, the optional inhibition concentration was determined to be 20 μg mL − 1 . Most of EGCG was transferred into its isomeride in LB medium, but the inhibition effects against mc 2 155 had yet been maintained.

The changes of cell envelope structure were showed after EGCG treatment for 18 h. The cell wall appeared to have a less electron-translucent zone, turn rougher and thicker. The results show that EGCG impacts the integrity of mycobacterial cell wall and is likely be a better prophylactic agent against tuberculosis.
