Inhibition of germinant binding by bacterial spores in acidic environments.
Commitment to germinate occurred in both Clostridium botulinum and Bacillus cereus spores during 0.5 min of exposure to 100 mM L-alanine or L-cysteine, measured by the inability of germination inhibitors (D form of amino acid) to inhibit germination. Spore germination at pH 4.5 was inhibited because the germinant did not bind to the trigger sites. C. botulinum spores exposed to 100 mM L-alanine...
متن کاملThe bisexual branching process with population-size dependent mating as a mathematical model to describe phenomena concerning to inhabit or re-inhabit environments with animal species.
We consider the bisexual Galton-Watson branching process with population-size dependent mating as a mathematical model adequate for the description of some natural phenomena. More specifically we are interested in studying some questions about the problem of populating an environmental with new animal species or re-populating it with species which have previously disappeared.
متن کاملGenomic insights into microbial iron oxidation and iron uptake strategies in extremely acidic environments.
This minireview presents recent advances in our understanding of iron oxidation and homeostasis in acidophilic Bacteria and Archaea. These processes influence the flux of metals and nutrients in pristine and man-made acidic environments such as acid mine drainage and industrial bioleaching operations. Acidophiles are also being studied to understand life in extreme conditions and their role in ...
متن کاملAquatic Organisms in Acidic Environments: A Literata[
_ _ Acid deposition has aroused concern about aquatic organisms in soft water lakes and streams, as the loss of indigenous species is commonly observed when pH decreases. This literature review was initiated to intensively examine the distribution of invertebrates with respect to pH, in order to define the tolerance limits of various species in acidified waters and predict how acidification wou...
متن کاملBacterial Communities in Acidic and Circumneutral Streamst
The relationship between pH and the abundance and activity of bacteria in streams was examined as part of a study of the effect of acidification on stream communities. Of the bacterial communities examined, the epilithic community appeared to be the most significantly affected by acidification. Microbial biomass, as quantified by measuring the ATP level, on rock surfaces was significantly corre...
