RESUMO
Two Staphylococcus aureus strains, the prototype human Reynolds strain and a bovine isolate, were grown in different complex media and in a synthetic medium (D. Taylor and K. T. Holland, J. Appl. Bacteriol. 66:319-329, 1989) and compared for their ability to produce type 5 capsular polysaccharide. Cell-bound and cell-free type 5 capsular polysaccharide were measured by a new one-step competition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The total production and the proportion of cell-bound type 5 capsular polysaccharide were dependent on the nature of the medium, the duration of the culture, and the strain. Both strains produced more type 5 capsular polysaccharide when cultivated in the synthetic medium than when cultivated in complex media. The best yield of type 5 capsular polysaccharide, about 300 micrograms/ml of medium, was obtained with strain Reynolds grown for 48 h with shaking in the synthetic broth containing glucose as a carbon source.
