Microbial Attachment to Meat Surfaces
The attachment of microorganisms to various surfaces and the mechanisms of attachment have become of great interest to the food industry and to researchers during the past decade. Few things have a closer relationship to man than the many bacteria, yeasts and molds that we constantly contact in our food sources and environment. A large group of these organisms is considered as beneficial; they ...
متن کاملGrowth kinetics of attached iron-oxidizing bacteria.
A model of growth and substrate utilization for ferrous-iron-oxidizing bacteria attached to the disks of a rotating biological contactor was developed and tested. The model describes attached bacterial growth as a saturation function in which the rate of substrate utilization is determined by a maximum substrate oxidation rate constant (P), a half-saturation constant (K(s)), and the concentrati...
متن کاملIron and Microbial Growth
Iron is an essential element for the growth and development of all the scale of living organisms, and acquiring iron is crucial for the development of any pathogen. Iron participates in a large number of cellular processes, the most important of which are oxygen transport, ATP generation, cell growth and proliferation, and detoxification. It is a coenzyme or enzyme activator of ribonucleotide r...
متن کاملA model of microbial growth in a plug flow reactor with wall attachment.
A mathematical model of microbial growth for limiting nutrient in a plug flow reactor which accounts for the colonization of the reactor wall surface by the microbes is formulated and studied analytically and numerically. It can be viewed as a model of the large intestine or of the fouling of a commercial bio-reactor or pipe flow. Two steady state regimes are identified, namely, the complete wa...
متن کاملEnhanced growth of surface-attached Acanthamoeba polyphaga.
Acanthamoeba keratitis remains a problematic infection, especially for contact lens wearers. Current treatment is not always effective, and Acanthamoeba spp. may persist on contact lenses despite the use of disinfectant. Growth of Acanthamoeba polyphaga in culture medium without bacteria has already been studied (3), but we know of no previous studies of the effect of surface attachment on this...
