    “Hot Stuff”: The Many Uses of a Radiolabel Assay in Detecting Acyl-Homoserine Lactone Quorum-Sensing Signals

    Many Proteobacteria synthesize acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) molecules for use as signals in cell density-dependent gene regulation known as quorum sensing (QS) and response. AHL detection protocols are essential...

    Rifampin as a selective agent for the enumeration and isolation of spirochetes from salt marsh habitats

    Spirochetes from a variety of salt marsh sediments were enumerated and isolated directly by using a prereduced complex medium containing rifampin as a selective agent. Based on cell morphology, the spirochetal...
