Development of Improved Ciherang-Sub1 Having Tolerance to Anaerobic Germination Conditions

Germination of spores of certain aerobic bacilli under anaerobic conditions.

Previous work by this laboratory (Roth et al., 1955) has established that a definite aeration requirement existed for spore formation of Bacilus anthracis and Bacillu globigii. This aeration requirement was shown to be different at various stages of growth. In the case of spore germination of the aerobic organisms tested, the present work indicates that the necessity for aerobic conditions is c...

Anaerobic conditions improve germination of a gibberellic acid deficient rice.

Dwarf plants are useful in research because multiple plants can be grown in a small area. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is especially important since its relatively simple genome has recently been sequenced. We are characterizing a gibberellic acid (GA) mutant of rice (japonica cv 'Shiokari,' line N-71) that is extremely dwarf (20 cm tall). Unfortunately, this GA mutation is associated with poor germi...

Tolerance of anaerobic conditions caused by flooding during germination and early growth in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Rice is semi-aquatic, adapted to a wide range of hydrologies, from aerobic soils in uplands to anaerobic and flooded fields in waterlogged lowlands, to even deeply submerged soils in flood-prone areas. Considerable diversity is present in native rice landraces selected by farmers over centuries. Our understanding of the adaptive features of these landraces to native ecosystems has improved cons...

Tolerance of Anaerobic Bacteria to Chlorinated Solvents

The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of four chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs), perchloroethene (PCE), carbon tetrachloride (CT), chloroform (CF) and 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA), on the growth of eight anaerobic bacteria: four fermentative species (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp., Clostridium sp. and Paenibacillus sp.) and four respiring species (Pseudomonas aeruginosa...
