Iodonitrotetrazolium (INT) is a monotetrazolium salt used as an indicator dye.1,2 It is reduced to an insoluble formazan that is used as a vital dye or indicator of cellular redox activity.1 Reduction commonly results from the activity of dehydrogenases, although non-enzymatic electron transfer reactions can occur in the presence of an intermediate electron acceptor.1,3 INT is commonly used to measure the respiratory activity of microorganisms in a variety of contexts.1,2

Comparison of the fluorescent redox dye 5-cyano-2,3-ditolyltetrazolium chloride with p-iodonitrotetrazolium violet to detect metabolic activity in heat-stressed Listeria monocytogenes cells
J Appl Bacteriol 1994 Oct;77(4):353-8.7989262 10.1111/j.1365-2672.1994.tb03434.x
The fluorogenic redox indicator 5-cyano-2,3-ditolyltetrazolium chloride (CTC) was compared with the chromogenic p-iodonitrotetrazolium violet (INT) and conventional methods to assess cellular viability. Mild heat treatment was used as well-controlled method for producing non-viable and sub-lethally injured cells. CTC gave an underestimation of the viability of Listeria monocytogenes cells when compared with classical plating methods whereas INT gave an overestimation. However, CTC proved to be a sensitive indicator of uninjured cells. The difference between the total count and the CTC count was equivalent to the injured cell population. The fluorescent formazan formed on reduction of CTC was readily detected with a charge coupled device and cells enumerated automatically using image analysis.
Antibacterial secondary metabolites from Vernonia auriculifera Hiern (Asteraceae) against MDR phenotypes
Nat Prod Res 2022 Jun;36(12):3203-3206.34293972 10.1080/14786419.2021.1953024
Purification of the aerial parts of Vernonia auriculifera Hiern afforded steroids (1-2), flavonoids (3-5), and polyalcohol (6). Their structures were determined using spectral evidences as well as by comparison with reported data. Iodonitrotetrazolium chloride (INT) colorimetric assay was used to assess the antibacterial activity of the extract and isolates against 13 pathogenic strains. The crude extract showed strong antibacterial activity (MIC < 100 µg/mL) against the tested bacterial strains. When combined with an efflux pump inhibitor phenylalanine beta naphthylamide (PAβN), the inhibition potency of the extract was substantially enhanced with the lowest MIC value at 4 µg/mL. Compounds 5 and 6 showed moderate activity (MIC < 100 µg/mL) against 12/13 (92.3%), and 8/13 (61.5%) bacterial strains, respectively. A minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC)/minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) ratio ≿4 indicated their bactericidal effect against Escherichia coli, Enterbacter aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Providencia stuartii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus.
INT (2-(4-Iodophenyl)-3-(4-Nitrophenyl)-5-(Phenyl) Tetrazolium Chloride) Is Toxic to Prokaryote Cells Precluding Its Use with Whole Cells as a Proxy for In Vivo Respiration
Microb Ecol 2015 Nov;70(4):1004-11.25991603 10.1007/s00248-015-0626-3
Prokaryote respiration is expected to be responsible for more than half of the community respiration in the ocean, but the lack of a practical method to measure the rate of prokaryote respiration in the open ocean resulted in very few published data leaving the role of organotrophic prokaryotes open to debate. Oxygen consumption rates of oceanic prokaryotes measured with current methods may be biased due to pre-incubation size filtration and long incubation times both of which can change the physiological and taxonomic profile of the sample during the incubation period. In vivo INT reduction has been used in terrestrial samples to estimate respiration rates, and recently, the method was introduced and applied in aquatic ecology. We measured oxygen consumption rates and in vivo INT reduction to formazan in cultures of marine bacterioplankton communities, Vibrio harveyi and the eukaryote Isochrysis galbana. For prokaryotes, we observed a decrease in oxygen consumption rates with increasing INT concentrations between 0.05 and 1 mM. Time series after 0.5 mM INT addition to prokaryote samples showed a burst of in vivo INT reduction to formazan and a rapid decline of oxygen consumption rates to zero within less than an hour. Our data for non-axenic eukaryote cultures suggest poisoning of the eukaryote. Prokaryotes are clearly poisoned by INT on time scales of less than 1 h, invalidating the interpretation of in vivo INT reduction to formazan as a proxy for oxygen consumption rates.
Effects of substrates and phosphate on INT (2-(4-iodophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-phenyl tetrazolium chloride) and CTC (5-cyano-2,3-ditolyl tetrazolium chloride) reduction in Escherichia coli
J Appl Bacteriol 1996 Feb;80(2):209-15.8642015 10.1111/j.1365-2672.1996.tb03212.x
The effects of substrates of primary aerobic dehydrogenases, and inorganic phosphate on aerobic INT and CTC reduction in Escherichia coli were examined. In general, INT produced less formazan than CTC, but INT (+) cell counts remained near values of CTC (+) cells. INT and CTC (+) cell numbers were higher than plate counts on R2A medium using succinate, formate, lactate, casamino acids, glucose, glycerol (INT only) and no substrate. Formate resulted in the greatest amount of INT and CTC formazan. Reduction of both INT and CTC was inhibited above 10 mmol l-1 phosphate, and this appeared to be related to decreased rates of O2 consumption. Formation of fluorescent CTC (+), but not INT (+) cells was also inhibited in a concentration dependent manner by phosphate above 10 mmol l-1. From light microscopic observations it appeared CTC formed increasing amounts of poorly or non-fluorescent formazan with increasing phosphate. Therefore, use of phosphate buffer in excess of 10 mmol l-1 may not be appropriate in CTC and INT reduction assays.
Bioprospecting of endophytic actinobacterium associated with Aloe ferox mill for antibacterial activity
BMC Complement Med Ther 2022 Oct 3;22(1):258.36192707 PMC9531469
Background: The emergence of drug resistance among pathogens has resulted in renewed interest in bioprospecting for natural microbial products. Methods: This study aimed to bioprospecting endophytic actinobacterium associated with Aloe ferox Mill for its antibacterial activity. Endophytic actinomycetes were isolated from the gel of A. ferox Mill by surface sterilization technique using actinomycete isolation agar. The isolate with a promising antibacterial activity was identified using 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the extract was assessed by the micro-dilution method and its effect on the respiratory chain dehydrogenase (RCD) activity was ascertained by the Iodonitrotetrazolium chloride (INT) assay. Fourier transform-infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR) and gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometry (GC-MS) were employed to identify functional groups and the chemical constituents, respectively. Results: The actinobacterium was found to be Streptomyces olivaceus CP016795.1. Its extract displayed noteworthy antibacterial activity (MIC ≿ mg/mL) against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25925), Bacillus cereus (ATCC 10102), and Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922); and showed an inhibitory effect on the RCD activity. FTIR spectrum displayed hydroxyl, amine, and aromatic groups, and the GC-MS revealed 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural as the main constituent (19.47%). Conclusions: S. olivaceus CP016795.1 can serve as a potential source of effective antibacterial compounds.
