Schneider, Morris D. (Quartermaster Food and Container Institute for the Armed Forces, U.S. Army, Chicago, Ill.), Nicholas Grecz, and Abe Anellis. Sporulation of Clostridium botulinum types A, B, and E, Clostridium perfringens, and Putrefactive Anaerobe 3679 in dialysis sacs. J. Bacteriol. 85:126-133. 1963.-Concentrated cultures of spores of Clostridium botulinum type A (33A, 37A), B (41B, 51B)...

In response to present and future fossil resource depletion, chemicals production from an alternate raw materials base must be considered. The biologically catalysed degradation of photos:ynthetically stored energy, such as starch and ligno-cellulosics, is an important approach for chemicals production. The objective of this study is to increase the productivity of acrylate from propionate, usi...

Cell-free lysates of the strict anaerobe Oxalobacter formigenes contained the following enzymatic activities: oxalyl coenzyme A reductase, glyoxylate carboligase, tartronic semialdehyde reductase, and glycerate kinase. NAD(P)-linked formate dehydrogenase, serine-glyoxylate aminotransferase, and NAD(P) transhydrogenase activities were not detected. These results support the hypothesis that O. fo...

Against 182 anaerobe and 241 aerobe strains obtained from diabetic foot infections, doripenem was the most active carbapenem against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MIC(90), 2 microg/ml), more active than imipenem against Proteus mirabilis, and ertapenem was more active against Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. The MIC(50) and MIC(90) values were < or =0.125 microg/ml for methicillin-sensitive Staph...

Palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) is a recalcitrant agricultural waste not readily digested which produced in abundance. The recently isolated bacteria, Lysinibacillus sphaericus facultative anaerobe can digest lignin. objective of this study was to determine if the addition L. and MnSO4 could aid bioconversion OPEFB, enhance methane production during subsequent anaerobic digestion (AD). untreat...

Cell-free extracts of various cytochrome-containing, heterotrophic microorganisms were examined for ability to convert coproporphyrinogen to protoporphyrin. Extracts of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas denitrificans readily accumulated large amounts of protoporphyrin when assayed under aerobic conditions. However, protoporphyrin did not accumulate under either aerobic or anaerobic conditions of...
