| nitrogen fixation (acetylene reduction) associated with roots of winter wheat and sorghum in nebraska. | root segments and root-soil cores (6.5-cm diameter) from fields and nurseries of winter wheat and sorghum were tested for n2 fixation by using the acetylene reduction assay. wheat samples (approximately 1,200) from 109 sites generally had low or no activity (0 to 3.1 nmol of c2h4 produced per h per g [dry weight] of root segments), even after 24 h of incubation. however, a commercial field of scout 66, located in western nebraska, exhibited appreciable activity (290 nmol of c2h4 produced per h p ... | 1978 | 623458 |

| isolation and characterization of hfr strains of erwinia amylovora. | hfr strains (hfr 159 and its derivatives, hfr 160 and hfr 161) were constructed from erwinia amylovora icpb ea178 by introducing an escherichia coli f'his+ plasmid and then selecting for integration of f'his+ after treatment with acridine orange. the hfr strains were relatively stable upon repeated transfers on nonselective media. interrupted mating experiments and analyses of inheritance of unselected markers showed that his+ is transferred by hfr 159 as the proximal marker at a relatively high ... | 1978 | 638897 |

| [bacteriocinogenic activity of strains of the genus erwinia]. | antibacterial activity of 272 erwinia strains was studied. it was found that 182 or 66.9 per cent of the strains were capable of producing spontaneously antibacterial substances belonging to the class of bacteriocins; 125 bacteriocynogenic strains were divided into 25 groups on the basis of their antibacterial spectrum similarity; 57 bacteriocynogenic strains were not included into any of these groups because of their significant heterogenicity with respect to the feature studied. it was shown t ... | 1978 | 677837 |
| the role of nationwide nosocomial infection surveillance in detecting epidemic bacteremia due to contaminated intravenous fluids. | since january, 1970, the center for disease control (cdc) has corridnated surveillance of nosocomial infections in a group of voluntarily cooperating hispitals in the united states. in 1970, this surveillance system failed to realize one of its major goals: detection of a nationwide epidemic of septicemia caused by contaminated intravenous products. however, retrospective review of infections reported to cdc revealed that the data received were sufficient for the outbreak to have been recognized ... | 1978 | 707489 |
| exposure to dust-borne bacteria in agriculture. i. environmental studies. | in order to evaluate the exposure of agricultural workers to dust-borne bacteria, microbiological examinations of the air were performed in grain storing and processing plants and in animal houses. large concentrations of viable microorganisms, ranging from 129.2 to 1289.9 thousands/m3 of air, were found in the rooms contaminated with grain dust and much lower in those contaminated with flour dust (22.6 thousands/m3). bacteria predominated in the air of grain plants, whereas actinomycetes and fu ... | 1978 | 708119 |

| genetic transfer of pseudomonas aeruginosa r factors to plant pathogenic erwinia species. | the r factors rp1, r68 and r91 were freely transmissible to and from pseudomonas aeruginosa, salmonella typhimurium, and various plant pathogenic erwinia spp. the antibiotic resistance spectrum of r+ erwinia recipients was similar to those of other bacteria harboring these r factors, but maximum resistance levels differed with each recipient. the sponstaneous elimination of these factors from the erwinia strains and the ability to transfer multiple antibiotic resistance suggest that these exist ... | 1975 | 804467 |
