Interaction of infectious viral particles with a quaternary ammonium chlorid (QAC) surface
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1989-08-20)
The antiviral activity of a surface-bonded quaternary ammonium chloride (QAC) was examined in this study. The mechanism of inactivation was elucidated by a combination of infectivity assay, radioactive labeling assay, and ...
Leuconostoc mesenteroides growth kinetics with application to bacterial profile modification
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1994-04-15)
Bacterial profile modification (BPM) is being developed as an oil recovery technique that uses bacteria to selectively plug oil depleted zones within a reservoir to divert displacing fluids (typically water) into oil-rich ...
Biomass plug development and propagation in porous media
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-02-05)
Exopolymer-producing bacteria can be used to modify soil profiles for enhanced oil recovery or bioremediation. Understanding the mechanisms associated with biomass plug development and propagation is needed for successful ...
Reduction of porous media permeability from in situ Leuconostoc mesenteroides growth and dextran production
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1996-04-05)
In situ growth of bacteria in a porous medium can alter the permeability of that media. This article reveals that the rate of permeability alteration can be controlled by the inoculation strategy, nutrient concentrations, ...
Mass transfer effects on microbial uptake of naphthalene from complex NAPLs
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1998-12-20)
The bioavailability of naphthalene present as a component of a complex nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) comprised by nine aromatic compounds was investigated. Specifically, the effects of naphthalene mass transfer from the ...
