Motility of Electric Cable Bacteria.

UNLABELLED Cable bacteria are filamentous bacteria that electrically couple sulfide oxidation and oxygen reduction at centimeter distances, and observations in sediment environments have suggested that they are motile. By time-lapse microscopy, we found that cable bacteria used gliding motility on surfaces with a highly variable speed of 0.5 ± 0.3 μm s(-1) (mean ± standard deviation) and time b...

Bacteria in food packaging paper and board.

The bacteria of food packaging paper and board were studied. Most of the aerobic strains were spore-formers; members of the genus Bacillus with B. cereus group (B. cereus, B. mycoides, B. thuringiensis), B. polymyxa group (B. polymyxa, B. circulans, B. macerans, B. pabuli), B. brevis and B. licheniformis predominated. The main source of spore-forming bacteria in paper and board was the broke (r...

Information Merging with Trust

The goal of the present paper is to propose a new framework for information merging based on trust networks. This is a special instance of a more general paradigm called deep merging by Weydert. The idea is to see merging not just as an operation on – even prioritized – multi-sets of domain assertions, but as a function exploiting in addition more sophisticated background information about the ...
