[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to clarify the validity of salivary α-amylase as a method of quickly estimating anaerobic threshold and to establish the relationship between salivary α-amylase and double-product breakpoint in order to create a way to adjust exercise intensity to a safe and effective range. [Subjects and Methods] Eleven healthy young adults performed an incremental exerc...

BACKGROUND Many bacteria are facultative anaerobes, and can proliferate in both anoxic and oxic environments. Under anaerobic conditions, fermentation is the primary means of energy generation in contrast to respiration. Furthermore, the rates and spectra of spontaneous mutations that arise during anaerobic growth differ to those under aerobic growth. A long-term selection experiment was undert...

Membrane bioreactor (MBR) is an efficient wastewater treatment technology, which produced by combining membrane technology and biological has the characteristics of stable water quality shock load resistance, been widely used in domestic treatment. Anaerobic ammonia oxidation (ANAMMOX) a new type denitrification with advantages low energy consumption, oxygen demand, carbon source saving good ec...

The in vitro activities of cefmenoxime, cefotetan, and N-formimidoyl thienamycin were compared with those of other antimicrobial agents (metronidazole, clindamycin, cefoxitin, and moxalactam) against anaerobic bacteria. The data obtained indicate that N-formimidoyl thienamycin exhibits excellent activity against anaerobic bacteria; cefotetan and cefmenoxime, though less active, should be of val...

Bacteria currently known as Bacteroides corrodens and Eikenella corrodens have been described by Henriksen (1937), Henriksen (1948), Holm (I950), Eiken (1958), Reinhold (1966), Khairat (1967), Dowel1 & Hawkins (1968), Henriksen (1969), Hill, Snell & Lapage (I 9-70), Marsden & Hyde (I 97 I), Jackson, Goodman, Bel, Wong & Whitehouse (I 97 I), Wong & Jackson (1971) and Jackson & Goodman, (1972). T...

Mutants of Salmonella typhimurium that lack the biosynthetic sulfite reductase (cysI and cysJ mutants) retain the ability to reduce sulfite for growth under anaerobic conditions (E. L. Barrett and G. W. Chang, J. Gen. Microbiol., 115:513-516, 1979). Here we report studies of sulfite reduction by a cysI mutant of S. typhimurium and purification of the associated anaerobic sulfite reductase. Sulf...

Because of the declining frequency of anaerobic bacteremia, routinely using half the collected blood volume for anaerobic culture has been challenged. There is no data indicating whether more clinically relevant isolates would be recovered if all or most of the given blood sample were cultured aerobically. In this two-part study, we reviewed cases of anaerobic bacteremia to determine what propo...

background: brain abscess remains a potentially fatal central nervous system (cns) disease, especially in developing countries. anaerobic abscess is difficult to diagnose because of cumbersome procedures associated with the isolation of anaerobes. materials and methods: this is a hospital-based retrospective microbiological analysis of 430 brain abscess materials (purulent aspirates and/or tiss...

BACKGROUND Since hypohydration commonly occurs in sports, studies on anaerobic exercise performance under this condition have been extensively carried out. When describing anaerobic performance, authors usually refer to a drop in anaerobic performance as fatigue index (FI) which is conventionally calculated using peak and low power data points. Meanwhile, another possible method in explaining a...
