Recovery Patterns of Spores of Putrefactive Anaerobe 3679 in Various Subculture Media after Heat Treatment

A comparative study was made of the heat resistance of spores of putrefactive anaerobe 3679 grown in two different sporulation media and of the recovery pattern of these spores in several subculturing media after treatment with moist and dry heat. The heat resistance of the spores was characterized in the form of D and z values. The D values were determined by the modified Schmidt method. The z values were established by the graphic method. The results revealed significant differences in D and z values, depending on the type of heat and sporulation and subculture media. Spores grown in beef heart infusion showed higher heat resistance than those grown in Trypticase. Among the seven subculture media used, the largest number of spores was recovered in beef infusion. The magnitude of the D values at 121.1 C obtained with spores heated in moist heat decreased, depending on the subculture medium used, in the following order: beef infusion, pea infusion, yeast extract, liver infusion, Eugonbroth, Trypticase, synthetic medium. With spores subjected to dry heat, D values at 148.9 C decreased with the subculture medium in the following order: beef infusion, yeast extract, pea infusion and liver infusion, Trypticase, Eugonbroth, synthetic medium. The z values obtained with spores subjected to dry heat were approximately double those obtained with moist heat. Their relative magnitude varied slightly, depending on the type of subculture medium used. However, the relative magnitudes of the D values and z values with reference to the subculture media used were different with moist heat from those obtained with dry heat. Two theories are discussed as possible explanations for the logarithmic order of death of bacterial spores. The results obtained in these experiments, together with the findings of other workers, are most compatible with the theory that heat treatment of spores results in an increased rate of random injury to the genetic material of the spores.     

The Influence of the Way the Muscle Force is Modeled on the Predicted Results Obtained by Solving Indeterminate Problems for a Fast Elbow Flexion

A critical point in models of the human limbs when the aim is to investigate the motor control is the muscle model. More often the mechanical output of a muscle is considered as one musculotendon force that is a design variable in optimization tasks solved predominantly by static optimization. For dynamic conditions, the relationship between the developed force, the length and the contraction velocity of a muscle becomes important and rheological muscle models can be incorporated in the optimization tasks. Here the muscle activation can be a design variable as well. Recently a new muscle model was proposed [22] Raikova R.T. Aladjov H.Ts. 2002 Hierarchical genetic algorithm versus static optimization–investigation of elbow flexion and extension movements Journal of Biomechanics 35 1123 1135  [Google Scholar]. A muscle is considered as a mixture of motor units (MUs) with different peculiarities and the muscle force is calculated as a sum of the MUs twitches. The aim of the paper is to compare these three ways for presenting the muscle force. Fast elbow flexion is investigated using a planar model with five muscles. It is concluded that the rheological models are suitable for calculation of the current maximal muscle forces that can be used as weight factors in the objective functions. The model based on MUs has many advantages for precise investigations of motor control. Such muscle presentation can explain the muscle co-contraction and the role of the fast and the slow MUs. The relationship between the MUs activation and the mechanical output is more clear and closer to the reality.     

The Suitability of Some Media and Peptones for Sulfonamide Testing

GUDDING, ROAR: The suitability of some media and peptones for sulfonamide testing. Acta vet. scand. 1974, 15, 366–380. — The content of p-aminobenzoic acid and folic acid has been determined in some media and peptones, and the sensitivity of Bacillus megaterium, cultivated on these substrates, towards sulfonamides has been examined. The concentrations of p-aminobenzoic acid and folic acid should be as low as possible in suitable substrates, but other factors are also of importance. The presence of antagonists towards folic acid has been demonstrated in some media, and the consequences of these inhibitors are discussed. Three of the media (Paper Disc Method-Antibiotic Sensitivity Medium, AB Biodisk; Sulphonamide Antagonist Free Medium, Mast Laboratories; and Mueller Hinton, Difco Laboratories) seem to be satisfactory for the determination of the resistance of bacteria towards sulfonamides. The application of Acetobacter medium is suggested for the detection of rest concentrations of sulfonamides in foodstuffs. detection of sulfonamide residues; p-aminobenzoic acid; folic acid.     

Development and Testing of a Microbiological Assay To Detect Residual Effects of Disinfectant on Hard Surfaces

We describe a glucuronidase bioassay for detecting residual bactericidal activity from the use of disinfectants on hard surfaces; in this assay we used formaldehyde, ethanol, isopropanol, chlorine, and a commercial preparation containing 2-bromo-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol. Chlorine and the commercial preparation showed bactericidal activity (53.5% and 98.2%, respectively) for a week after disinfection.     

Comparison of Prediction Results Obtained by the Learning Machine and Experienced Microbiologists

Based on three measures of evaluation, it was concluded that with respect to pseudomonads the learning machine was superior to experienced microbiologists in predicting the presence or absence of the following four features; the production of phenazine compounds, the utilizations of d-sorbitol, of n-hexadecane, and of histamine.     

Electron Microscopy of the Sperm Tail Results Obtained with a New Fixative

The details of a new fixation procedure using 40 per cent osmium tetroxide in carbon tetrachloride are presented. This fixative is a good general preservative, gives a higher contrast than the ordinary osmium fixatives, and may also preserve structures that are not otherwise readily revealed. Some possible reasons for the increased contrast are discussed. Micrographs of the sea urchin spermatozoa treated with the new fixative provide more detailed information on the tail structure than has heretofore been obtainable. This information is summarized in the diagrammatic text-figure. The sperm tail can no longer be regarded as having a bilateral symmetry, and thus, it is possible to assign an index number to each of the nine peripheral filaments. The nine peripheral filaments have a complex morphology, each one of them seems to be composed of two subunits that have unequal diameters. The slightly larger subunits are all found in the clockwise direction with regard to the other subunit or are all found in the counter-clockwise direction in the sectioned tail. Each of the slightly larger subunits is at intervals provided with two types of projections—referred to as the arms and the spokes—that extend in respective tangential and radial direction. The arms from one filament may be in actual contact with its neighboring filament through a complex bridge-like formation. There is a quantitative difference between the nine filaments with regard to this bridge. It is assumed that the eleven tail filaments follow straight paths. Some hypotheses on sperm movement are discussed based on this assumption and on the fact that the oscillations of an actively working sperm tail are in one plane. Probably, the nine peripheral filaments have non-equivalent functions in tail movement. In the centriole the nine peripheral filaments characteristically appear as triplets in a whorl-like arrangement. It is suggested that the inner part of this triplet is a derivation of the arms. A structural abnormality of the tail is described that is characterized by two or three complete sets of tail filaments within one cell membrane.

Variables Influencing Results, and the Precise Definition of Steps in Gram Staining as a Means of Standardizing the Results Obtained

Results of a Gram staining procedure varied with modifications of each of the steps involved. The best Gram differentiation was obtained when crystal violet and iodine solutions of high concentrations were used, and when n-propyl alcohol was used as the decolorizer. The decolorization step must be carefully quantitated, and one of the most important variables observed was whether a slide was brought into the decolorizer wet, or dry. Dry slides took 6 to 12 times as long to decolorize as wet. Wash steps, following crystal violet, and following the decolorizer, also greatly influence results by causing Gram-positive organisms to appear to be Gram-negative. The results indicated that Gram-stain procedures should not be varied to suit the whims of individual operators, and that each step could be specifically defined both as to the reagent used, and the procedure to be followed.

The followng Gram procedure is recommended for heat-fixed bacterial smears on glass slides. Flood the slide with Hucker's crystal violet for 1 ruin. Wash for 5 sec by dipping into tap water running into a 250 ml beaker at a rate of 30 ml per sec Rinse off the excess water with Burke's iodine, flood the slide with this solution for 1 min, then wash 5 sec in tap water as above. Decolorize by passing the wet slide through 3 (75 × 25 mm) Coplin dishes containing n-propyl alcohol, decolorize 1 min in each dish for a total of 3 min. Wash 5 sec in tap water as above, rinse off the excess water with 0.25% safranin, then flood the slide with this solution for 1 min. Wash as above, blot dry, and examine. An alternate procedure for decolorization would be to use either 95% n-propyl alcohol or 95% ethyl alcohol, but shorten the decolorization time to 30 sec per dish for a total of 1.5 min. After 10 slides, the decolorizer in the first dish should be replaced by fresh. This dish is then placed last in the sequence, with dish No. 2 moved to the No. 1 position.

Influence of Culture Media on the Antistaphylococcal Activity of Fosfomycin

Antagonism or double zones of inhibition (or both) resulted when Staphylococcus aureus was exposed to fosfomycin in Brain Heart Infusion, tryptic/papaic digest of casein/soybean, and Mueller Hinton culture media; neither occurred with a totally defined, completely synthetic medium. The extent of antagonism was quantitated by determination of the absolute minimal inhibitory concentration of fosfomycin in each medium. By using the synthetic medium and inducers, the hexose-phosphate transport system appeared to be more important than the alpha-glycerophosphate transport system in providing ingress of fosfomycin into staphylococci.
