This investigation determined the serum agglutination activity and serum bactericidal response after rabbit immunization with Pseudomonas paucimobilis. Agglutination activity of antisera showed a twofold increase in titer from before immunization to 4 weeks post-immunization and peaked at 8 weeks post-immunization with a titer of 1:512. 2-Mercaptoethanol reduction of immunoglobulin M decreased ...

The marine oligotrophic ultramicrobacterium Sphingomonas alaskensis RB2256 has a physiology that is distinctly different from that of typical copiotrophic marine bacteria, such as Vibrio angustum S14. This includes a high level of inherent stress resistance and the absence of starvation-induced stress resistance to hydrogen peroxide. In addition to periods of starvation in the ocean, slow, nutr...
