Improved method for enumerating sulfate-reducing bacteria using optical density
The photometric determination of bacterial concentration can be affected by secondary scattering and other interferences. The conventional growth medium for sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) has iron that precipitates as iron sulfides, a dark precipitate which is useful to indicate bacterial activity. However, iron hydroxides also precipitate at high pH values and the presence of these precipitat...
متن کاملSulfurous Analysis of Bioelectricity Generation from Sulfate-reducing Bacteria (SRB) in a Microbial Fuel Cell
The current importance of energy emphasizes the use of renewable resources (such as wastewater) for electricity generation by microbial fuel cell (MFC). In the present study, the native sulfate-reducing bacterial strain (R.gh 3) was employed simultaneously for sulfurous component removal and bioelectricity generation. In order to enhance the electrical conductivity and provision of a compatible...
متن کاملA method for counting acid-fast bacteria.
A reliable, convenient, and accurate method for counting ac id-fast hacteria ( AFB) is essential for much work with Mycobacterium leprae. The procedure used , previously in the laboratory (~, 4 ) had two technical difficulties: (a) In order for the drops to spread satisfactorily the microscope slides had to have a uniform wetability of the correct degree; sometimes this requirement was difficul...
متن کاملMetabolic Flexibility of Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria
Dissimilatory sulfate-reducing prokaryotes (SRB) are a very diverse group of anaerobic bacteria that are omnipresent in nature and play an imperative role in the global cycling of carbon and sulfur. In anoxic marine sediments sulfate reduction accounts for up to 50% of the entire organic mineralization in coastal and shelf ecosystems where sulfate diffuses several meters deep into the sediment....
متن کاملIsolation, Characterization and Growth Control of a Sulfate Reducing Bacteria from Sewage Water
Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) are a diverse heterogeneous group of anaerobic microorganisms inhabiting in various environmental conditions. SRB are one of the most important groups of microorganisms that participate in various nutritional cycles of the environment and cause degradation of various organic matters through the process of dissimilatory sulfate reduction. They are known to be impl...
