Bacterial chemotaxis to effluent from a rum distillery in tropical near-shore coastal waters.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Vibrio cholerae showed a strong positive chemotactic response towards rum distillery wastewaters (mostos) and a high oxygen uptake rate in the presence of this complex substrate. Rum slops stimulated only motility in Aeromonas hydrophila and Escherichia coli. The A. hydrophila and E. coli isolates were unable to oxidize mostos significantly.

Survival of Candida albicans in tropical marine and fresh waters.
A survey of Candida albicans indicated that the organism was present at all sites sampled in a rain forest stream and in near-shore coastal waters of Puerto Rico. In the rain forest watershed no relationship existed between densities of fecal coliforms and densities of C. albicans. At two pristine sites in the rain forest watershed both C. albicans and Escherichia coli survived in diffusion cha...
متن کاملUtilisation of distillery effluent in coastal sandy soil to improve soil fertility and yield of sugarcane
Coastal sandy soil is characterised by low fertility and poor physical properties. Distillery effluent, a liquid waste from the distillery industry contains large quantities of soluble organic matter and plant nutrients. It does not contain any toxic elements / compounds. In order to improve the physical properties and fertility of the coastal soil by utilising the distillery effluent, field ex...
متن کاملEvaluation and classification of trophic status in coastal waters of Homozgan province using trophic index Scale (Trixcs) and unscale (Untrixcs)
One of the most important issues in environmental management of coastal waters is the evaluation of Eutrophication. In this study, the trophic status of coastal waters of Hormozgan province was evaluated using Scale (TRIXCS) and Unscale (UNTRIXCS) trophic indices in 2012. The results showed that TRIXCS values were in the range of 3.6 to 5.9 (in the area 1 Mezo-Eutroph, areas 2 and 3 Mezotroph, ...

Studies were undertaken to record distillery effluent induced quantitative alterations in the nucleic acids (DNA & RNA) and protein during three principal phases of ovarian cycle (prespawning, spawning and post spawning) of Colisa fasciatus , a tropical freshwater fish. Observation were recorded under three different concentrations of the distillery effluent after 30 days of exposure. Observati...
متن کاملImpact of Distillery Effluent and Salts on Hydraulic Conductivity of a Sandy Loam Soil
Irrigation with distillery effluent, besides influencing crop yield, may have considerable impact on physical properties of soil because of its high salt and organic carbon contents. This experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effect of distillery effluent on hydraulic conductivity of a sandy loam alluvial soil and compare the effect of inorganic salts of potassium (K) with that of di...
