Bacteria and algae from the Narugo thermal springs

Alpha activity in Indian thermal springs

ABSTRACT Background: and soils with which it comes in contact. There is dual exposure from radon in water i.e. due toinhalation of the radon released from the water into the ambient air and through ingestion whenwater is used for drinking. As radon contaminated water adversely affects the health, it istherefore fundamental from health and hygiene point of view to measure radium concentrationand...

Moderately thermophilic magnetotactic bacteria from hot springs in Nevada.

Populations of a moderately thermophilic magnetotactic bacterium were discovered in Great Boiling Springs, Nevada, ranging from 32 to 63 degrees C. Cells were small, Gram-negative, vibrioid to helicoid in morphology, and biomineralized a chain of bullet-shaped magnetite magnetosomes. Phylogenetically, based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, the organism belongs to the phylum Nitrospirae.

Thermal Springs and Spas in Poland

Geothermal waters from springs and wells are currently used in eight spas and water centers in Poland. These resorts have a long and interesting history, being an important part among all the health spas in the country. The demand for geothermal curative and recreation services offered in spas constantly increases. The paper presents several cases of geothermal resorts and some examples of init...

Magnetite and Magnetotaxis in Bacteria and Algae

Magnetotactic bacteria navigate along geomagnetic field lines. By tt is means they find and stay in their preferred habitat and avoid the toxic effects of oxygen. Cells contain single-magnetic-domain Fe304 particles which are resporsible for their magnetotactic response. Numerous Fe 0 particle organized in (hains have recently been found in eukaryotic cells, edglenoid, motile, magnetot ctlc alg...
