Detection of luciferase gene sequences in nonluminescent bacteria from the Chesapeake Bay
(FEMS, 2000)
A 745-bp luxA fragment was amplified from Vibrio harveyi (UM 1503), radiolabeled, and used as a probe to detect and quantify luxA genotypes in culturable bacterial populations from the Chesapeake Bay. DNA samples from 53 ...
Marine environmental pollution stress detection through direct viable counts of bacteria
(Pergamon, 2002)
Direct viable counts (DVC) of bacteria were quantified from polluted and relatively less/non-polluted coastal locations during different seasons to assess whether they can be routinely monitored for an understanding of ...
Use of a chiA probe for detection of chitinase genes in bacteria from the Chesapeake Bay
(FEMS, 2000)
PCR primers specific for the chiA gene were designed by alignment and selection of highly conserved regions of chiA sequences from Serratia marcescens, Alteromonas sp., Bacillus circulans and Aeromonas caviae. These primers ...
Unusual rise in mercury-resistant bacteria in coastal environs
(Springer, 2003)
A sharp rise in mercury-resistant bacteria (MRB) capable of tolerating very high concentration of Hg was observed over the last 3-4 years in the coastal environs of India. While none or negligible colony-forming units (CFU) ...
