Growth rate of Sphaerotilus in a thermally polluted environment.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In situ growth of Sphaerotilus on microscope slides immersed in a thermally polluted stream was studied. Ultraviolet radiation was used to differentiate between passive attachment of organisms from the water and growth of the organisms on the slides. Colonization of the slides in this environment took place solely by means of swarmer cells. A generation time of 2.3 hr was obtained at a water temperature of 18-22 C.

متن کاملGrowth characteristics and response of wheat to cadmium, nickel and magnesium sorption affected by zeolite in soil polluted with armaments
The presence of large heavy metal concentrations in soil polluted with chemical weapons causes serious operational restrictions against cultivation of agricultural crops like wheat. To solve this problem, the usage of zeolite has been proposed as one of the most efficient practical approaches. The main objective of this research is the investigation of the influence of natural Iranian zeolite o...
متن کاملA model for the dynamical study of food-chain system considering interference of top predator in a polluted environment
The modeling investigation in this paper discusses the system level effects of a toxicant on a three species food chain system. In the models, we have assumed that the presence of top predator reduces the predatory ability of the intermediate predator. The stability analysis of the models is carried out and the sufficient conditions for the existence and extinction of the populations under the ...
متن کاملA spatial relationship between sheath elongation and cell proliferation in Sphaerotilus natans.
Sphaerotilus natans is a filamentous sheath-forming bacterium. A method of selective fluorescent-labeling of its sheath using conventional reagents was developed. Terminal expansion of the sheath was confirmed by this method. In addition, ubiquitous cell growth was revealed by sequential phase-contrast microscopy of a filament. Based on this and earlier reports, a model of the sheath formation ...

GAUDY, ELIZABETH (University of Illinois, Urbana), AND R. S. WOLFE. Factors affecting filamentous growth of Sphaerotilus natans. Appi. Microbiol. 9:580-584. 1961. Filamentous growth in cultures of Sphaerotilus natans can be measured and compared with total growth by a standardized procedure of winding filaments around an inoculating needle. Filaments and residual growth are then separately wash...
