irrelevant. Chemistry and the relations between science, technology, and industry are well surveyed by Crosland and Cardwell respectively. Forbes's essay on mathematical cosmography is not a comprehensive account but the story (albeit interesting) of a few German cartographers. Compared with other recent collections of essays in the history of science, this volume parades no party line: witness...

Agglutination of bacterial spheroplasts: agglutination-dependent degradation of Escherichia coli ribosomal ribonucleic acid.

When Escherichia coli spheroplasts made by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and lysozyme were agglutinated by concanavalin A (con A), the degradation of ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) was found to occur proportionally to the degree of the agglutination, which was determined by microscopic examination or by a newly devised assay based on the slower settling of aggregates. Methyl-alpha-d-glucos...

Latex agglutination test for detection of Escherichia coli serotype O157.

The value of a latex agglutination test (Escherichia coli O157 latex test; Oxoid Ltd.) for rapid presumptive detection of E. coli serotype O157:H7 was determined by laboratory trials and during an outbreak of hemorrhagic colitis. The latex test was found to be a simple, highly efficient and reliable test in detecting E. coli O157:H7 with 100% sensitivity and specificity. It was also found that ...

Swimming efficiency of bacterium Escherichia coli.

We use measurements of swimming bacteria in an optical trap to determine fundamental properties of bacterial propulsion. In particular, we directly measure the force required to hold the bacterium in the optical trap and determine the propulsion matrix, which relates the translational and angular velocity of the flagellum to the torques and forces propelling the bacterium. From the propulsion m...
