Spore-forming Bacteria in Potatoes

Non Spore-Forming Bacteria: Sterility and Ultrastructure Study

Live organisms from containment laboratories must be inactivated with a valid protocol, or subsequently sterility tested prior to removal from containment and worked with in a lower level of containment. For bioforensic analysis, many specimens that are imaged using electron microscopy (EM) come from BSL2, BSL-3 and BSL-4 containment laboratories. Current literature documents many procedures fo...

[Susceptibility of spore-forming butyric acid bacteria to antimicrobial agents].

Antimicrobial agents occasionally cause certain adverse effects, such as diarrhea and loose stool, by altering the composition of the intestinal flora. Antibiotic-resistant lactic acid bacteria are used to prevent these adverse effects. Although these bacteria are not resistant to several recently introduced antimicrobial agents, bacterial preparations are still sometimes prescribed concomitant...

Quantification of Spore-forming Bacteria Carried by Dust Particles

In order to establish a biological contamination transport model for predicting the cross contamination risk during spacecraft assembly and upon landing on Mars, it i s important to understand the relationship between sporeforming bacteria and their carrier particles. We have conducted air and surface sampling in indoor, outdoor, and cleanroom environments to determine the ratio of spore formin...

Polysaccharides synthesized by aerobic mesophilic spore-forming bacteria.

In the classification proposed by Smith, Gordon & Clark (1946) the genus Bacillus has been divided into three groups depending principally on morphological differences in the size and shape of the spores and the shape of the sporangia. Their classification and nomenclature has been used throughout this paper. The bacilli of group I are known to synthesize fructosans from sucrose; those obtained...
