The one-dimensional whole-cell protein patterns and a variety of biochemical characteristics of the type and reference strains of Streptococcus intestinalis and Streptococcus alactolyticus were studied. All the data revealed that strains of both species were indistinguishable. Reported differences in haemolytic activity and presence of Lancefield antigens were not reproduced. All strains were alpha-haemolytic. The S. intestinalis type strain possessed the group G antigen, but a second S. intestinalis reference strain and all of the S. alactolyticus strains possessed the group D antigen. All strains produced urease activity (albeit some after prolonged incubation), a characteristic considered important for S. intestinalis. Given the congruence between whole-cell protein electrophoresis and percentage of DNA-DNA hybridization, these data suggest that Streptococcus intestinalis Robinson et al. 1988 is a junior synonym of Streptococcus alactolyticus Farrow et al. 1984.

The pH-sensitive property of the single-wall carbon nanotube modified electrode based on the electroactive group on the single-wall carbon nanotube was explored by differential pulse voltammetry technique. In pH range 1-13 investigated in Britton-Robinson (B-R) buffer, the anodic peak shifted negatively along with the increase of pH exhibiting a reversible Nernstian response. Experiments were carried out to investigate the response of the single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) modified electrode to analytes associated with pH change. The response behavior of the modified electrode to ammonia was studied as an example. The potential response could reach equilibrium within 5 min. The modified electrode had good operational stability. Voltammetric urease and acetylcholinesterase biosensors were constructed by immobilizing the enzymes with sol-gel hybrid material. The maximum potential shift could reach 0.130 and 0.220 V for urea and acetylthiocholine, respectively. The methods for preparing sensor and biosensor were simple and reproducible and the range of analytes could be extended to substrates of other hydrolyases and esterases. This broadened the biosensor application of carbon nanotube in electrochemical area.
