Historical microbiology: revival and phylogenetic analysis of the luminous bacterial cultures of M . W . B eijerinck
(John Wiley and Sons, 2011-12)
Luminous bacteria isolated by M artinus W . B eijerinck were sealed in glass ampoules in 1924 and 1925 and stored under the names P hotobacterium phosphoreum and ‘ P hotobacterium splendidum ’. To determine if ...
Kinetics of toluene degradation by toluene-oxidizing bacteria as a function of oxygen concentration, and the effect of nitrate
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1997-05)
The kinetics of toluene degradation as a function of oxygen concentration were compared for six strains of toluene-oxidizing bacteria using initial rate assays. The effect of nitrate was also examined. Rates of degradation ...
Beijerinck and the bioluminescent bacteria: microbiological experiments in the late 19th and early 20th centuries
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2011-02)
Microbiological research in the days before specialized equipment, or even electricity, required a great deal of ingenuity. The revival of 90-year-old bioluminescent bacteria from Beijerinck's laboratory in Delft prompted ...
Flow cytometry for microbial sensing in environmental sustainability applications: current status and future prospects
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2004-07)
Practical and accurate microbial assessment of environmental systems is predicated on the detection and quantification of various microbial parameters in complex matrices. Traditional growth-based assays, considered to be ...
Ammonia‐oxidizing archaea and nitrite‐oxidizing nitrospiras in the biofilter of a shrimp recirculating aquaculture system
(ElsevierWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2013-01)
This study analysed the nitrifier community in the biofilter of a zero discharge, recirculating aquaculture system ( RAS ) for the production of marine shrimp in a low density (low ammonium production) system. The ...
