Bifidobacteria in feces and environmental waters.
Bifidobacteria have been recommended as potential indicators of human fecal pollution in surface waters even though very little is known about their presence in nonhuman fecal sources. The objective of this research was to shed light on the occurrence and molecular diversity of this fecal indicator group in different animals and environmental waters. Genus- and species-specific 16S rRNA gene PC...
متن کاملIsolation of Bifidobacteria from feces of chimpanzees in the wild.
Intestinal bacteria in wild animals have not been thoroughly studied due to technical problems such as poor laboratory equipment in fi eld conditions. The lack of electricity, clean water, and availability of CO2 gas makes work with anaerobic cultures diffi cult. In the case of wild apes in Africa, even buildings are often lacking. However, these constraints can be overcome by the use of molecu...
متن کاملAntibiotic-Resistant Enteric Bacteria in Environmental Waters
Sources of antibiotic resistant organisms, including concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), may lead to environmental surface and groundwater contamination with resistant enteric bacteria of public health concern. The objective of this research is to determine whether Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Yersinia enterocolitica, and enterococci resistant to clinically relevant antibiotics are...
متن کاملClearing muddied waters: Capture of environmental DNA from turbid waters
Understanding the differences in efficiencies of various methods to concentrate, extract, and amplify environmental DNA (eDNA) is vital for best performance of eDNA detection. Aquatic systems vary in characteristics such as turbidity, eDNA concentration, and inhibitor load, thus affecting eDNA capture efficiency. Application of eDNA techniques to the detection of terrestrial invasive or endange...
متن کاملPerfluorooctane sulphonate and perfluorooctanoic acid in drinking and environmental waters.
Perfluorooctane sulphonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are chemicals that have been used for many years as surfactants in a variety of industrial and consumer products. Owing to their persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) characteristics, PFOS has been phased out by its principal producer and the use of PFOA has been reduced. This PBT potential and a number of pollution incid...
