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 ...
Inside or Out: Characterizing petrobactin use by Bacillus anthracis
(2018)
Bacillus anthracis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacillus and causes the disease anthrax. Anthrax is a deadly infection that begins with phagocytosis of a B. anthracis spore by an antigen presenting cell and ends when ...
Hsp70 chaperone Proteins and their Interactions with Various Drugs as Studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.
(2011)
Chaperone proteins and their cochaperones are perhaps one of the most intriguing systems for investigation. Ubiquitous in nature, they can be found in every organism and that perhaps is the reason that their sequence shows ...
