effects of bacteria on the growth of an amoeba infecting the gills of turbot.we analysed the influence of various bacteria on the in vitro growth of trophozoites of a platyamoeba strain isolated from diseased gill tissues of cultured turbot. little or no growth was shown by amoebae cultured in the presence of (1) the turbot-pathogenic bacteria vibrio anguillarum, aeromonas salmonicida or streptococcus sp., (2) pasteurella piscicida or vibrio vulnificus (pathogenic for some fishes but not turbot), or (3) the non-pathogenic 'environmental' bacteria vibrio campbelli, vibrio ...200111411647
reca expression in response to solar uvr in the marine bacterium vibrio natriegens.solar ultraviolet radiation may produce daily stress on marine and estuarine communities as cells are damaged and repair that damage. reduction in the earth's stratospheric ozone layer has increased awareness of the potential effects that ultraviolet radiation may have in the environment, including how marine bacteria respond to changes in solar radiation. we examined the use of the bacterial reca protein as an indicator of the potential of bacteria to repair dna damage caused by solar uv irradi ...200112024236
rrna promoter activity in the fast-growing bacterium vibrio natriegens.the bacterium vibrio natriegens can double with a generation time of less than 10 min (r. g. eagon, j. bacteriol. 83:736-737, 1962), a growth rate that requires an extremely high rate of protein synthesis. we show here that v. natriegens' high potential for protein synthesis results from an increase in ribosome numbers with increasing growth rate, as has been found for other bacteria. we show that v. natriegens contains a large number of rrna operons, and its rrna promoters are extremely strong. ...200211844764

estimation of biologically damaging uv levels in marine surface waters with dna and viral dosimeters.we have surveyed the biologically harmful radiation penetrating the water column along a transect in the western gulf of mexico using dosimeters consisting of intact viruses or naked calf-thymus dna (ctdna). the indigenous marine bacteriophage pwh3a-p1, which lytically infects the heterotrophic bacterium vibrio natriegens (strain pwh3a), displayed decay rates for infectivity approaching 1.0 h(-1) in surface waters when deployed in a seawater-based dosimeter. the accumulation of pyrimidine dimers ...200212403447
[biosynthesis and accumulation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) in vibrio natriegens].accumulation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [poly(3hb)] by v. natriegens was studied. results indicated that v. natriegens used glucose, gluconate, fructose and molasses as carbon sources for poly(3hb) synthesis. when molasses was used, up to 28.4% of poly(3hb) to cellular dry weight was accumulated. the accumulation of poly(3hb) followed, was not simultaneously to, the cell growth. analysis of the pha polymerase, beta-ketothiolase, and acetoacetyl-coa reductase showed that the poly(3hb) accumulatio ...200212561210
statistical analysis of epidemiological data from a chromium chemical manufacturing plant.a statistical analysis was performed on reported bronchogenic carcinoma incidence in a group of chromium chemical manufacturing workers over the period 1929 to 1977. the purpose was to determine if post-1950 process improvements corresponded to favorable trends in morbidity. because the paucity of data on the population at risk prevented meaningful calculations of smr's, a recently developed method called "probability window analysis" was used to evaluate for statistically valid changes in the " ...2003430272
homogeneous immunoglobulins in the serum of irradiated and bone marrow reconstituted mice: the role of thymus and spleen.the influence of thymectomy and splenectomy on the frequency and class distribution of homogeneous immunoglobulins (h-ig) in serum was studied in lethally irradiated (dba/2 x c57bl/rij)f1 mice reconstituted with syngeneic bone marrow. during four follow-up periods in the first 9 months after transplantation, the sham-operated controls and splenectomized animals developed transient h-ig in an average frequency of 14.2 and 15.7% respectively. there were no marked differences in the incidence of h- ...2004387578

plasticity of the gene functions for dna replication in the t4-like phages.we have completely sequenced and annotated the genomes of several relatives of the bacteriophage t4, including three coliphages (rb43, rb49 and rb69), three aeromonas salmonicida phages (44rr2.8t, 25 and 31) and one aeromonas hydrophila phage (aeh1). in addition, we have partially sequenced and annotated the t4-like genomes of coliphage rb16 (a close relative of rb43), a. salmonicida phage 65, acinetobacter johnsonii phage 133 and vibrio natriegens phage nt-1. each of these phage genomes exhibit ...200616828113
production of poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (phb) by vibrio spp. isolated from marine environment.bacteria isolated from marine sediments were screened for their ability to accumulate polyhydroxyalkanoates. among the isolates, four vibrio spp. (strain m11, m14, m20 and m31) were studied in detail. all synthesized intracellular lipid inclusions during growth on diverse carbon sources including acetate, glycerol, succinate, glucose and sucrose. the inclusions were identified to be poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (phb) using gas chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. no other type of ...200717416432
effects of ultraviolet radiation on the gram-positive marine bacterium microbacterium maritypicum.although extensive information is available on the effect ultraviolet (uv) radiation has on gram-negative marine bacteria, there is a scarcity of data concerning uv radiation and gram-positive marine bacteria. the focus of this paper is on microbacterium maritypicum, with the gram-negative vibrio natriegens being used as a standard of comparison. m. maritypicum exhibited growth over a nacl range of 0-1000 mm: , with optimum growth occurring between 0 and 400 mm: nacl. in contrast, v. natriegens ...200717551790
inspiring nursing students to mobilize communities in nepal.in 1987 nurse educators in nepal implemented a revised certificate nursing curriculum oriented toward primary health care (phc) and a bachelor of community health nursing (chn) curriculum with emphasis on leadership in phc. as both curricula included practical experience for nursing students in the community, the teachers had to strategize how to maximize both the students' learning and their contribution to community health. below, how the educators encouraged reluctant students to not only par ...20082249925

marine bacterioplankton can increase evaporation and gas transfer bymetabolizing insoluble surfactants from the air-seawater interface.hydrophobic surfactants at the air-sea interface can retard evaporative and gaseous exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean.while numerous studies have examined the metabolic role of bacterioneuston at the air-sea interface, the interactions between hydrophobic surfactants and bacterioplankton are not well constrained. a novel experimental design was developed, using vibrio natriegens and (3)h-labelled hexadecanoic acid tracer, to determine how the bacterial metabolism of fatty acids affec ...200919431239
antibacterial activity and qsar of chalcones against biofilm-producing bacteria isolated from marine waters.biofouling in the marine environment is a major problem. in this study, three marine organisms, namely bacillus flexus (ld1), pseudomonas fluorescens (md3) and vibrio natriegens (md6), were isolated from biofilms formed on polymer and metal surfaces immersed in ocean water. phylogenetic analysis of these three organisms indicated that they were good model systems for studying marine biofouling. the in vitro antifouling activity of 47 synthesized chalcone derivatives was investigated by estimatin ...201020544550
2-methoxy-2',4'-dichloro chalcone as an antimicrofoulant against marine bacterial biofilm.marine paint mixed with 2-methoxy-2',4'-dichloro chalcone is able to considerably reduce the formation of biofilm by vibrio natriegens, a marine bacterium, on polycarbonate (pc), polymethylmethacrylate (pmma) and glass fiber reinforced plastic (gfrp). these polymers have been selected for the study, since they have wide marine applications. surfaces coated with dichloro chalcone containing marine paint had the lowest number of colony forming units (cfu) (1-5×10(6)), proteins (20-30 μg/cm2) and c ...201020708908
identification of vibrio natriegens uvra and uvrb genes and analysis of gene regulation using transcriptional reporter plasmids.nucleotide excision repair (ner) rectifies a variety of chemically and structurally distinct dna lesions. the current model of ner is based upon the enteric bacterium escherichia coli and there is scarce information about how other bacterial species respond to, and correct, dna damage. here we report the isolation and functional analysis of the uvra and uvrb genes from vibrio natriegens, a naturally occurring marine bacterium. genetic studies were completed to assess the repair capabilities of v ...201021046343
