Preservation of Thermophilic Bacterial Spores Using Filter Paper Disc Techniques
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The filter disc is used as base to support the spores inside the tiny holes. The filter paper discs are dipped into the medium after the spore phase growth of microorganisms. The whatman filter wet discs are dried at 55-60°C till they are completely dry. The viability of discs stored at room temperature and -20°C were checked at 3, 4, 6 and 2 month intervals. This is cost effective technique. In absence of preservative, the viability of the cultures were checked on liquid medium and monitored for the production of the biomolecules such as cellulase. These techniques could be used for other bacterial spore species. Preservation of Thermophilic Bacterial Spores Using Filter Paper Disc Techniques

Development of a filter to prevent infections with spore-forming bacteria in injecting drug users
BACKGROUND In heroin injectors, there have been a number of outbreaks caused by spore-forming bacteria, causing serious infections such as anthrax or botulism. These are, most likely, caused by injecting contaminated heroin, and our aim was to develop a filter that efficiently removes these bacteria and is also likely to be acceptable for use by people who inject drugs (i.e. quick, simple and n...
متن کاملGenome Sequence of Anoxybacillus geothermalis Strain GSsed3, a Novel Thermophilic Endospore-Forming Species
Anoxybacillus geothermalis strain GSsed3 is an endospore-forming thermophilic bacterium isolated from filter deposits in a geothermal site. This novel species has a larger genome size (7.2 Mb) than that of any other Anoxybacillus species, and it possesses genes that support its phenotypic metabolic characterization and suggest an intriguing link to metals.

bacterial spores. The results indicate that tylosin is strongly inhibitory. Additional tests confirm the adjuvant effect of nisin and heat on spores of Bacillus stearothermophilus. These tests also show that tylosin has marked stability to heat as compared to the lesser heat stability of nisin. The ability of tylosin to prevent the outgrowth of naturally occurring thermophilic spores in a comme...
متن کاملHomogenous bacterial aerosols produced with a spinning-disc generator.
Aerosols composed of viable particles of a uniform size were produced with a commercial spinning-disc generator from aqueous suspensions of Bacillus subtilis var. niger spores containing various amounts of an inert material, dextran, to regulate aerosol particle size. Aerosols composed of single naked spores having an equivalent spherical diameter of 0.87 mum were produced from spore suspension...
متن کاملReduction of Clostridium sporogenes spore outgrowth in natural sausage casings using nisin.
Preservation of natural sausage casings using dry salt or saturated brine is regarded as sufficient to inactivate vegetative pathogenic non-spore-forming bacteria present on the casings. Although the outgrowth of bacterial spores is prevented by salt or saturated brine preservation, these spores will remain present and develop into vegetative cells when conditions are more favourable. To preven...
