Development of Temporal Temperature Gradient Electrophoresis for Characterising Methanogen Diversity
Temporal temperature gradient electrophoretic (TTGE) analysis of 16S rDNA sequences was optimized to monitor the methanogen population present in water and sediments of a small eutrophic lake, Priest Pot, in t...

Monitoring Microbial Activities Using Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometry
Monitoring microbial activities in the environment is difficult owing to the lack of suitable methods. For a technique to be useful for monitoring in situ activities, it must possess the following properties: sen...

Effects of salinity on bacterial iron oxidation
Iron oxidation by bacteria isolated from an estuary was inhibited completely by sodium chloride. At 3% (wt/vol) salt, no iron oxidation occurred. Bacteria could be partially adapted to 1.5% (wt/vol) NaCl, but ...

Inhibition of cell division inMyxococcus xanthus by mecillinam
Increase in cell numbers is inhibited by adding mecillinam to vegetative cultures ofMyxococcus xanthus. However, both cell length and volume continue to increase in the presence of the antibiotic. Different size ...

The effect of respiratory chain composition on the growth efficiencies of aerobic bacteria
The relationship between respiratory chain redox carrier composition and the efficiency of aerobic growth in continuous culture under carbon-limited conditions has been investigated for nine species of bacteria.
