Rapid Biodegradation of Methyl tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) by Pure Bacterial Cultures
Two pure bacterial strains capable of rapid degrading methyl tert–butyl ether (MTBE) were isolated from an industrial wastewater treatment plant, identified and characterized. These strains are able to grow on MTBE as the sole carbon and energy sources and completely mineralize it to the biomass and carbon dioxide. The strains were identified as Bacillus cereus and Klebsiella terrigena. Bot...
متن کاملQuantitative Bacterial Micro-Assay for Rapid Diagnosis of Galactosemia: Application in Galactosemia Neonatal Screening
In the present study a new economic and rapid bacterial micro-assay for simultaneous detection and quantitative measurement of serum galactose was developed. Analysis of the standard curve showed a linearity range for galactose from 2 mg/dL to 180 mg/dL with a regression equation of Y = 0.013X ? 0.083; R² = 0.962. The advantage of the method is its ability to measure serum galactose quantitativ...
متن کاملRapid detection of bacterial growth in blood samples by a continuous-monitoring electrical impedance apparatus.
A growth detection method utilizing an automated apparatus capable of rapidly detecting bacterial growth by measuring changes of electrical impedance in bacteriological medium was utilized with "mock" blood cultures containing various gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Measurement of changes of electrical impedance was found to ba as accurate and comparable for time of growth detection a...
متن کاملRadiometric detection of bacterial growth in breath cultures.
Breath cultures were measured for bacterial growth using radiometric methods. The maximum growth with median value of Growth Index equal to 440 was detected within 48 hours. The technique is sensitive, rapid and can be used to detect bacteremia (JPMA 37: 4, 1987). INTRODUCTION Radiometric methods for the detection of bacterial growth are becoming of interest because of their rapidity and sensit...
متن کاملThe Growth of Bacterial Cultures
The study of the growth of bacterial cultures does not consti tute a specialized subject or branch of research: it is the basic method of Microbiology. It would be a foolish enterprise, and doomed to failure, to attempt reviewing briefly a "subject" which covers actually our whole discipline. Unless, of course, we considered the formal laws of growth for their own sake, an ap proach which has...
