Physiological and genetic responses of bacteria to osmotic stress.
The capacity of organisms to respond to fluctuations in their osmotic environments is an important physiological process that determines their abilities to thrive in a variety of habitats. The primary response of bacteria to exposure to a high osmotic environment is the accumulation of certain solutes, K+, glutamate, trehalose, proline, and glycinebetaine, at concentrations that are proportiona...
متن کاملEnzymatic removal and disinfection of bacterial biofilms.
Model biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were made on steel and polypropylene substrata. Plaque-resembling biofilms of Streptococcus mutans, Actinomyces viscosus, and Fusobacterium nucleatum were made on saliva-coated hydroxyapatite. The activity of enzymes against bacterial cells in biofilm was measured by fluoresc...
متن کاملPhysiological and Agronomical Responses of Triticale to the Growth Bacteria, Nano Iron Fertilizer and Ordinary Iron Fertilizer Treatment
BACKGROUND: Bio-fertilizers are best eco-friendly approach for plant and soil environment. Also, micronutrient element such as iron plays a key role in the formation of chlorophyll and photosynthesis. OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the effect of growth bacteria and Nano iron fertilizer and ordinary iron fertilizer on some physiological properties of Tritical...
متن کاملEvaluation of Biochemical and Physiological Responses of Seven Olive Cultivars in Relation to Freezing Tolerance
Abstract: Temperature is one of the most important factors limiting the production and distribution of olive. Different olive cultivars show diverse responses to low temperature and so, the selection of cold tolerant cultivars is the most effective method to avoid frost damages. The main purpose of this study was to compare freezing tolerance of seven olive cultivars and to investigate the rel...
متن کاملAdaptive responses to antimicrobial agents in biofilms.
Bacterial biofilms demonstrate adaptive resistance in response to antimicrobial stress more effectively than corresponding planktonic populations. We propose here that, in biofilms, reaction-diffusion limited penetration may result in only low levels of antimicrobial exposure to deeper regions of the biofilm. Sheltered cells are then able to enter an adapted resistant state if the local time sc...
