| bacterial populations associated with smokeless tobacco products. | there are an estimated 8 million users of smokeless tobacco products (stps) in the united states, and yet limited data on microbial populations within these products exist. to better understand the potential microbiological risks associated with stp use, a study was conducted to provide a baseline microbiological profile of stps. a total of 90 samples, representing 15 common stps, were purchased in metropolitan areas in little rock, ar, and washington, dc, in november 2012, march 2013, and july ... | 2016 | 27565615 |
| characterization of bacillus megaterium, bacillus pumilus, and paenibacillus polymyxa isolated from a pinot noir wine from western washington state. | this report provides the first confirmed evidence of bacillus-like bacteria present in a wine from washington state. these bacteria were isolated from a 2013 pinot noir wine whose aroma was sensorially described as being 'dirty' or 'pond scum.' based on physiological traits and genetic sequencing, three bacterial isolates were identified as bacillus megaterium (strain nho-1), bacillus pumilus (strain nho-2), and paenibacillus polymyxa (strain nho-3). these bacteria grew in synthetic media of low ... | 2017 | 28648288 |
