Effect of Plate Preincubation on Bacillus stearothermophilus Disc Assay Zone Diameters

Effect of pH on sporulation of Bacillus stearothermophilus.

An improved broth medium was developed for high growth yields of Bacillus subtilis var. niger NCIB 8649, Bacillus cereus NCIB 9373, and Bacillus stearothermophilus NCIB 8919 and ATCC 7953. Sporulation was abundant (1.1 times 10-8 B. subtilis var. niger and 9.2 times 10-7 B. cereus per ml) at an initial pH of 7.0. Sporulation of both strains of B. stearothermophilus took place (1.9 times 10-7 an...

Ophthalmoscopic-Perspectively Distorted Optic Disc Diameters and Real Disc Diameters.

PURPOSE To investigate the difference between two-dimensionally measured disc diameters (DDs) based on fundus images and three-dimensionally measured DDs based on enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). METHODS The DDs were three-dimensionally measured on EDI-OCT images of optic nerve heads and two-dimensionally measured on near-infrared reflectance fundus images in 90 ...

Sporulation of Bacillus stearothermophilus.

A broth medium containing tryptone and manganese sulfate supported heavy sporulation of Bacillus stearothermophilus ATCC 7953 (NCA 1518) and four isolates identified as B. stearothermophilus. Maximal spore yields were obtained by use of inocula grown anaerobically in a medium containing glucose with aeration of sporulation medium via bubbling. After an extended stationary period, sporulation oc...

effect of oral presentation on development of l2 learners grammar

this experimental study has been conducted to test the effect of oral presentation on the development of l2 learners grammar. but this oral presentation is not merely a deductive instruction of grammatical points, in this presentation two hypotheses of krashen (input and low filter hypotheses), stevicks viewpoints on grammar explanation and correction and widdowsons opinion on limited use of l1...
