Table 3.
Intracellular and extracellular concentrations of amines in the parent uninfected T. vaginalis strain SS22 and T. vaginalis infected with M. hominis (SS22-MOZ2)
The concentration of amines was determined by HPLC as described in Methods.
| Amine | T. vaginalis SS22 | T. vaginalis SS22-MOZ2 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intracellular concentration (μM per 106 cells) | Extracellular concentration (mM) | Intracellular concentration (μM per 106 cells) | Extracellular concentration (mM) | |
| Arginine | 0.51 | 5.63 | 0.46 | 2.31 |
| Citrulline | 0.12 | 0.15 | 0.06 | 0.04 |
| Ornithine | 0.03 | 0.06 | 0.45 | 0.31 |
| Putrescine | 0.19 | 1.92 | 0.43 | 5.32 |
