Enzymes of Thermophilic Aerobic Sporeforming Bacteria

Journal of Applied Bacteriology, 1968
SUMMARY Esterase patterns of 217 strains of thermophilic aerobic sporeforming bacteria were examined by starch gel electrophoresis. Classification of these strains by this method corresponded closely with the results obtained by biochemical tests. Protein patterns were also examined by acrylamide gel electrophoresis. In order to study

Aerobic Mesophilic Bacteria in Composts

Nature, 1948
IN a previous communication1, an account was given of the activity of the thermophilic flora which develops in composts made from grass cuttings (lawn mowings). This thermophilic flora can be seen as a white coating on the cuttings, particularly in the upper layers during the high-temperature phase.

Biotransformation Patterns of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene by Aerobic Bacteria

Current Microbiology, 1998
2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT), a toxic nitroaromatic explosive, accumulates in the environment, making necessary the remediation of contaminated areas and unused materials. Although bioremediation has been utilized to detoxify TNT, the metabolic processes involved in the metabolism of TNT have proven to be complex.

Nitrite inhibition of aerobic bacteria

Current Microbiology, 1979
Nitrite was shown to inhibit active transport, oxygen uptake, and oxidative phosphorylation byPseudomonas aeruginosa. The evidence strongly suggested that nitrite exerted its inhibitory effect by oxidizing ferrous iron of an electron carrier(s), such as cytochrome oxidase, to ferric iron.

Aerobic photosynthetic bacteria.

Microbiological sciences, 1991
Erythrobacter species OCh 114 is a strictly aerobic bacterium containing bacteriochlorophyll a. Although its growth is dependent on heterotrophic nutrition, light enhances its growth yield and CO2-fixation activity. A new category--aerobic photosynthetic bacteria--is proposed for Erythrobacter species OCh 114.

Crystalline Inclusions in Aerobic Sporeforming Bacteria

Nature, 1953
B. thuringiensis Berliner1 is an aerobic sporeforming bacillus, classified by Smith, Gordon and Clark2 as Bacillus cereus var. thuringiensis, because apart from its pathogenicity for certain insects and the tendency of the spores to lie obliquely in the cell, the organism is indistinguishable from B. cereus.

Control of urease formation in certain aerobic bacteria

Archiv f�r Mikrobiologie, 1972
During nitrogen starvation, a 20- to 250-fold increase in specific urease activity was observed in extracts of P. aeruginosa, P. fluorescens, Hydrogenomonas, M. denitrificans, M. cerificans and B. megaterium. In contrast to these species, high levels of urease were observed in P. vulgaris strains and in S. ureae under all growth conditions.

Imipenem Resistance in Aerobic Gram-Negative Bacteria

Journal of Chemotherapy, 1998
A prospective study was undertaken to observe the emergence of resistance to imipenem, if any, among aerobic gram-negative bacteria. A total of 736 isolates were tested during 1994-95 and less than 1% of them were resistant to imipenem, whereas the next year ('95-'96) the rate increased to 11 of the 903 isolates tested.

Energetics of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria

1997
Microorganisms play a pivotal role in the cycle of matter on our planet. Their importance lies in the decomposition of the organic material that was originally produced by the activity of photosynthetic autotrophs. Green plants and cyanobacteria capture the light and utilize its energy to synthesize organic material (biomass) from a number of simple ...

Aerobic and Facultatively Anaerobic Bacteria

1981
Bacteria are identified whenever their presence is considered clinically significant. Isolates, therefore, from normally sterile sites require identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Those without recognized clinical importance from sites normally harboring indigenous flora (Table 1–1) seldom require identification.
