Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BACTERIAL ADHESION Molecular and Ecological Diversity Edited byMadilyn Fletcher Over the last twenty years, research has revealed the enormouscomplexity underlying the phenomenon of bacterial adhesion. Theinitial research goal was to understand the mechanism of attachmentand its effects on the bacteria as well as the host. As researchprogressed, however, it became evident that many differentattachment mechanisms exist. These diverse forms of adhesion arethe results of numerous evolutionary pressures, and each may bepart of a larger behavioral strategy. This comprehensive overview details how diversity in habitat andecological requirements has led to enormous variety in adhesivecell components, underlying genetic determinants, and behavioralstrategies. It presents the latest research on adhesion mechanismsand strategies found in diverse environments and microorganisms,including the new environment of biomaterials. Bacterial Adhesion: Molecular and Ecological Diversity examinesadhesion as a strategy for nutrient access and as a phase in thecomplex behavior of life cycle processes. It covers the latestresearch and innovative approaches in the field, including: * Conceptual advances in research on the adhesion of bacteria tooral surfaces * Enhancing colonization in a fluctuating environment * The cellulosome: a cell-surface organelle for the adhesion to anddegradation of cellulose * Pseudomonas aeruginosa--versatile attachment mechanisms * Sensing, response, and adaptation to surfaces * Myxococcus coadhesion and role in the life cycle Edited by a leading authority on bacterial adhesion and featuringcontributions from the field's leading experts, this book speaks toresearchers in all areas of microbiology, biotechnology,environmental technology, and environmental science, as well asurology, immunology, and infectious diseases. Bacterial Adhesion: Molecular and Ecological Diversity is thelatest addition to the Wiley Series in Ecological and AppliedMicrobiology. Recent books in the series include: * Microbial Transformation and Degradation of Toxic OrganicChemicals edited by Lily Y. Young and Carl E. Cerniglia * Wastewater Microbiology by Gabriel Bitton * Environmental Microbiology edited by Ralph Mitchell * Biotechnology in Plant Disease Control edited by Ilan Chet * Antarctic Microbiology edited by E. Imre Friedmann * Effects of Acid Rain on Forest Processes edited by Douglas L.Godbold and Aloys Huttermann

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Study of the phenomena of bacterial adhesion to surfaces has accelerated considerably over the past 10 to 15 years. During this period, microbiologists have become increasingly aware that attachment to a substratum influences considerably the activities and structures of microbial cells. Moreover, in many cases attached communities of cells have important effects on their substratum and the surrounding environment. Such phenomena are now known to be important in plant and animal hosts, water and soil ecosystems, and man-made structures and industrial processes. Much work on microbial adhesion in the early 1970s was descriptive. Those studies were important for detecting and describing the phenomena of bacterial adhesion to substrata in various environments; the findings have been presented in numerous recently published, excellent books and reviews. In some studies, attempts were made to elucidate some funda mental principles controlling adhesion processes in different environments containing a variety of microorganisms. Common threads have been observed occasionally in different studies. Taken as a whole, however, the information has revealed that many disparate factors are involved in adhesion processes. Whether a particular microorganism can adhere to a certain substratum depends on the properties of the microbial strain itself and on charac teristics of the substratum and of the environment.

Download or read book Microscale Habitats and Activities of Bacteria and Their Ecological and Biogeochemical Significance in the Ocean written by Ty James Samo and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this dissertation is to observe and quantify the contribution of bacteria and their habitats to the nutrient cycling in marine environments. As a result of the complex exchanges between ocean physics, chemistry, and biology, the formation and distribution of microbial communities, their metabolisms, and their microenvironments is invariably influenced. Current research is beginning to reveal the heterogeneity of microbial growth, community/species composition, and habitats in the natural marine environment. However, little is currently know about how the mechanisms and interactions of these parameters influence each other. These topics were addressed through the application of microscopy and various fluorescence staining techniques, and following several oceanographic research cruises. After developing a staining protocol of seawater derived microbes and organic matter concentrated on a polycarbonate filter, it was found that an abundant and unclassified type of transparent organic particle exists in coastal and open ocean environments. These structures were termed filter fluorescing particles (FFP) based on their staining characteristics. In addition to their small size of a few to hundreds of micrometers in length, the particles are occasionally associated with heterotrophic bacteria, cyanobacteria, and phytoplankton. Several oceanographic research cruises confirmed the widespread presence of these particles, and suggest that these particles are relatively more abundant in oligotrophic waters containing enhanced concentrations of refractory organic matter. The discovery of these particles adds to our current knowledge of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP), DAPI yellow particles (DYP), and Coomassie stained particles (CSP). The spatial characteristics and dynamics of a deep-water oceanic frontal zone made it possible to study the influence of submesoscale processes on the microscale responses of microbes and organic matter. The strong gradient created at this site created distinct zones of microbial activity, abundance, and size characterized by elevated primary and secondary production at the front. Further, the non-living material comprising the particulate and dissolved organic mater pools was enhanced as well due to elevated the production of the phyto- and bacterioplankton. The abundance and size of FFP and TEP were also monitored, and found to coincide with water mass features as well, presumably due to the physical-biological interactions acting at the front. Lastly, a method was established to simultaneously visualize and quantify the protein synthesis rates of single heterotrophic bacterial cells in order to identify growth ranges and relative biogeochemical contributions in natural populations. This approach relied on the bioorthogonal amino acid homopropargylglycine (HPG), a methionine analog functionalized with an alkyne group. After incubation of natural seawater with HPG followed by fixation and cell immobilization on a filter, the HPG incorporated into the cellular protein of active cells was fluorescently labeled with Alexa Fluor 488 via click chemistry. A conversion factor to measure single-cell protein synthesis was generated from laboratory culture grown in natural seawater. Applying this factor to labeled cells from the Scripps Pier revealed a large range of rates, and highlighted the sensitivity of the method to measure very low activity cells, growth of cells attached to particles, and the continuum of activities that characterize natural heterotrophic bacterial assemblages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book chronicles the proceedings of the Second Symposium on Particles in Gases and Liquids: Detection, Characterization and Control held as a part of the 20th Annual Fine Particle Society meeting in Boston, August 21-25, 1989. As this second symposium was as successful as the prior one, so we have decided to hold symposia on this topic on a regular (biennial) basis and the third symposium in this series is scheduled to be held at the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Fine Particle Society in San Jose, California, July 29-August 2, 1991. l As pointed out in the Preface to the prior volume in this series that recently there has been tremendous concern about yield losses due to unwanted particles, and these unwelcome particles can originate from a legion of sources, including process gases and liquids. Also all signals indicate that in the future manufacture of sophisticated and sensitive microelectronic components (with shrinking dimensions) and other precision parts, the need for detection, characterization, analysis and control of smaller and smaller particles will be more intensified.
