Detection of Legionella pneumophila in a biological treatment plant by co-cultivatiobn with Acanthamoeba castellanii
(2014)
Legionella pneumophila was identified in the aeration ponds of a biological wastewater treatment plant at the pulp and paper industry Borregaard, Sarpsborg, Norway. After 3 outbreaks of Legionaires’ disease reported in ...
Temporal variability of the bioaerosol background at a subway station: Concentration level, size distribution, and diversity of airborne bacteria
(2014)
Naturally occurring bioaerosol environments may present a challenge to biological detection-identification-monitoring (BIODIM) systems aiming at rapid and reliable warning of bioterrorism incidents. One way to improve the ...
Comparative testing and evaluation of nine different air samplers: End-to-end sampling efficiencies as specific performance measurements for bioaerosol applications
(2014)
Accurate exposure assessments are needed to evaluate health hazards caused by airborne microorganisms and require air samplers that efficiently capture representative samples. This highlights the need for samplers with ...
L-alanine-induced germination in Bacillus licheniformis -the impact of native gerA sequences
(2014)
Background
L-alanine, acting through the GerA receptor, was recently found to be an efficient germinant in Bacillus licheniformis ATCC14580/DSM13.
Results
In this study, we show that several of 46 examined B. ...
