Modeling antibiotic tolerance in biofilms by accounting for nutrient limitation.
A mathematical model of biofilm dynamics was used to investigate the protection from antibiotic killing that can be afforded to microorganisms in biofilms based on a mechanism of localized nutrient limitation and slow growth. The model assumed that the rate of killing by the antibiotic was directly proportional to the local growth rate. Growth rates in the biofilm were calculated by using the l...

متن کاملNutrient limitation in a southwestern desert reservoir: Eutrophication of Las Vegas Bay, Lake Mead, Nevada
Algal bioassay tests were conducted with Selenastrum capricornutum and natural algae on inner Las Vegas Bay, Lake Mead, Nevada, from December 1992 through September 1993, to identify any nutrient limitation in an area of the reservoir that has experienced problems associated with severe nutrient enrichment. Three areas were sampled based on a gradient of water quality conditions that existed in...
متن کاملNutrient limitation of epilithic and epixylic biofilms in 10 North American streams
1. Nutrient diffusing substrata were used to determine the effect of added inorganic nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) on the development of epilithic and epixylic biofilms in 10 North American streams. Four treatments of diffusing substrata were used: Control (agar only), N addition (0.5 M NaNO3), P addition (0.5 M KH2PO4), and N + P combined (0.5 M NaNO3 + 0.5 M KH2PO4). Agar surfaces were cove...
متن کاملDating of the devils hole calcite vein.
et al. (2) present a long, continuous, highresolution climate record extracted from a calcite vein in Devils Hole, Nevada. If their dating is accurate, the record appears to contradict the Milankovitch hypothesis (3). Dating of subsamples of the vein was done with the use of well-established principles of 230Th dating (4) and with recently developed techniques for precise measurement of 230Th a...
