Experimental and numerical simulation study of microbial enhanced oil recovery using bio-surfactants.
(2005)
A 2-phase, 10-component microbial enhanced oil recovery numerical simulator was modified to include reservoir salinity and facilitate surfactant and polymer injection. The effects of reservoir brine salinity and divalent ...
Factors involved in cellular sensitivity to anthrax lethal toxin.
(2005)
The lethal factor (LF) component of Bacillus anthracis lethal toxin (LeTx) cleaves mitogen activated protein kinase kinases (MAPKKs) in a variety of different cell-types, yet not all cells are susceptible to the toxin. ...
Microbial biosurfactant production: The effect of the Bacillus strain JF-2 biosurfactant on anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation, and the presence of indigenous biosurfactant-producing bacteria in soils.
(2005)
A series of experiments was designed utilizing the biosurfactant produced by Bacillus JF2. Specifically, these experiments were designed to determine if the presence of various levels of pre-purified JF2 biosurfactant would ...
The microbial conversion of synthesis gas to ethanol: Characterization and optimization.
(2005)
By screening 310 enrichments from 37 different sources of inocula (e.g., sediments, lagoons, compost, silage, and animal feces), seven potential microbial candidates (strain P7, P11, P14, P20, P21, MU1 and SK1) were isolated ...
Description of Kingella potus sp. nov., an Organism Isolated from a Wound Caused by an Animal Bite
(2005-07)
We report the isolation and characterization of a hitherto unknown gram-negative, rod-shaped Neisseria-like organism from an infected wound resulting from a bite from a kinkajou. Based on both phenotypic and phylogenetic ...
Genes required for in situ sediment survival of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1.
(2005)
We determined the function of one sediment-survival gene, examining mexF in greater detail. The protein encoded by mexF shares high homology with MexF in pathogenic Pseudomonas where it has been shown to confer a multidrug ...
Microbiology of water and wastewater: Discovery of a new genus numerically dominant in municipal wastewater and antimicrobial resistances in numerically dominant bacteria from Oklahoma lakes.
(2005)
Three bacterial isolates from municipal wastewater were investigated for their phenotypic, biochemical, and molecular characters. All strains were isolated from municipal wastewater, and the type strain, NRS1T, was isolated ...
Assessing the influence of physical and chemical properties of sediments on microbial distribution and activity in the terrestrial subsurface.
(2005)
To maximize the possibility for success, accurate assessment of the distribution and activity of microorganisms in the subsurface is essential for implementing bioremediation strategies at contaminated sites. It is clear ...
