FtsZ Placement in Nucleoid-Free Bacteria
We describe the placement of the cytoplasmic FtsZ protein, an essential component of the division septum, in nucleoid-free Escherichia coli maxicells. The absence of the nucleoid is accompanied in maxicells by degradation of the SlmA protein. This protein, together with the nucleoid, prevents the placement of the septum in the regions occupied by the chromosome by a mechanism called nucleoid oc...
متن کاملArsenic resistance and removal by marine and non-marine bacteria.
Arsenic resistance and removal was evaluated in nine bacterial strains of marine and non-marine origins. Of the strains tested, Marinomonas communis exhibited the second-highest arsenic resistance with median effective concentration (EC(50)) value of 510 mg As l(-1), and was capable of removing arsenic from culture medium amended with arsenate. Arsenic accumulation in cells amounted to 2290 mic...
متن کاملBacteria Counts in Raw Milk
There is little doubt that raw milk is the most scrutinized agricultural commodity. Appendix N of the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance requires that all bulk tank milk be tested for beta-lactam antibiotics. This document also sets the regulatory levels for somatic cell counts (SCC) and bacteria levels in raw bulk tank milk. Milk processors are required to perform the regulatory testing. Many progress...
متن کاملGeobiology of Marine Magnetotactic Bacteria
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) biomineralize intracellular membrane-bound crystals of magnetite (Fe3O4) or greigite (Fe3S4), and are abundant in the suboxic to anoxic zones of stratified marine environments worldwide. Their population densities (up to 10 cells ml−1) and high intracellular iron content suggest a potentially significant role in iron cycling, but very little is known about their pop...
متن کاملExtremely Thermophilic Marine Bacteria
A novel extremely thermophilic bacterium was isolated from a shallow marine hydrothermal vent environment (depth, 22 m) in Tachibana Bay, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. The cells of this organism were gramnegative rods. Growth occurred at temperatures between 50 and 85°C (optimum temperature, 80°C; doubling time at optimum temperature, 90 min), at pH 5.5 and 9.0 (optimum pH, 7.0), and in the prese...
