Growth Characteristics of the Blue-green Algal Virus Lpp-1.
Safferman, Robert S. (Robert A. Taft Sanitary Engineering Center, Cincinnati, Ohio), and Mary-Ellen Morris. Growth characteristics of the blue-green algal virus LPP- 1. J. Bacteriol. 88:771-775. 1964.-The blue-green algal (BGA) virus, strain LPP-1, formed two distinct plaque variants. During subsequent propagation, each of the isolated variants eventually reverted to a mixture of both plaque ty...
متن کاملQuantitative assay for algal chemotaxis.
A quantitative capillary assay is described for measuring chemoreception in the neritic and littoral unicellular alga Dunaliella tertiolecta. Lucite chemotaxis plates were used in the assay with 3-microliter capillaries. A Coulter Counter was employed to determine algal cell numbers. D. tertiolecta is attracted to ammonium ion with a maximum positive response at 10(-3) M. Inclusion of calcium a...
متن کاملAn Algal Assay Technique for Aquatic Toxicants
A technique was developed for algal toxicity assays. Algal communities obtained from several sewage treatment plants and surface waters were the test specimens. The toxicant used was zinc acetate The techniques that were developed are relatively simple, rapid, and precise. Algal responses to toxicants were measured by changes in oxygen production, and two types of responses were observed. The v...
متن کاملMicroscale assay for screening of inhibitory activity of Lactobacillus.
The inhibitory activity of Lactobacillus species has been well documented (1–5,7,11–13,15) and is usually a result of the secretion of secondary metabolites including hydrogen peroxide, organic acids, and peptides (2–5, 11–13,15). Peptides that exhibit an inhibitory effect on any other microorganisms are classified as bacteriocins (5). Bacteriocins have been shown to inhibit a wide range of mic...
متن کاملNumerical Study on the Characteristics ofEutrophication and Algal Growth in Taihu Lake,China
An ecological dynamics model of algal growth was coupled with a two-dimensional lake hydrodynamic model to examine the eutrophication problem in Taihu Lake, China. The model included three water quality variables: chlorophyll-a (chl-a), total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN). The model was used to investigate the wind-induced current and the characteristics and drivers of TP distribution...
