The invention discloses a method for determining the content of
glutathione in bacterial cells. The method comprises the following steps: drafting a
standard curve of different concentrations of
glutathione to the
fluorescence intensity; adopting a plate colony-counting method to carry out
colony counting; setting a bacterial liquid experiment group for determination and a
background fluorescence control group;
processing the experiment group and the control group, and detecting by adopting a
fluorescence intensity detection method; calculating according to the
standard curve to obtain the
glutathione content, and calculating according to flat counting to obtain the quantity of sample
bacteria; and calculating a ratio of the glutathione content to the quantity of the corresponding
bacteria to obtain the content of glutathione in a certain quantity of bacterial cells. An mBBr
reagent is adopted in the invention, can go through the
cell walls of
Gram-positive
bacteria, enters the cells, and combines with glutathione to generate a stable
fluorescence derivative, and the bacteria are cracked by
acetonitrile, so a problem of the wall breaking of the
Gram-positive bacteria of the measurement method is solved.
