Dynamic modeling of microbial cell populations.
Microbial cultures are comprised of heterogeneous cells that differ according to their size and intracellular concentrations of DNA, proteins and other constituents. Recent advances have been made in cell population modeling, which allow the effects of cell heterogeneity on culture dynamics and metabolite production to be predicted. If the intracellular state can be captured with a few variable...
متن کاملDifferences in microbial activity and microbial populations of peat associated with suppression of damping-off disease caused by Pythium sylvaticum.
The microbiological characteristics associated with disease-suppressive peats are unclear. We used a bioassay for Pythium sylvaticum-induced damping-off of cress seedlings to identify conducive and suppressive peats. Microbial activity in unconditioned peats was negatively correlated with the counts of P. sylvaticum at the end of the bioassay. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) prof...
متن کاملCharacterization of microbial populations associated with natural swimming pools.
Natural swimming pools are artificially created bodies of water that are intended for human recreational bathing and have no chemical disinfection treatment. The microbial populations in four private natural swimming pools were analysed to assess the typical microbiological parameters, establish the origin of faecal contamination in the water, and predict the behaviour of larger systems that ar...
متن کاملModeling disease spread in populations with birth, death, and concurrency
The existence of sexual partnerships that overlap in time (concurrent relationships) is believed by some to be a significant contributing factor to the spread of HIV, although this is controversial. We derive an analytic model which allows us to investigate and compare disease spread in populations with and without concurrency. We can identify regions of parameter space in which its impact is n...
متن کاملSpatial shifts in microbial population structure within poultry litter associated with physicochemical properties.
Microbial populations within poultry litter have been largely ignored with the exception of potential human or livestock pathogens. A better understanding of the community structure and identity of the microbial populations within poultry litter could aid in the development of management practices that would reduce populations responsible for toxic air emissions and pathogen incidence. In this ...
