Lugol iodine solution was compared with glutaraldehyde as a preservative for marine bacteria. Direct counts with the fluorochrome 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole show no significant difference between the preservatives, but the use of Lugol solution has several advantages over glutaraldehyde, especially in the handling and storage of samples. Bacteria were counted in water samples that were preserved with Lugol iodine solution and stored at room temperature for 4 years. Microprotozoa were also counted in samples preserved with Lugol iodine solution by using the fluorochrome fluorescein isothiocyanate. 相似文献

Fixatives used for preservation of marine fish eggs must maintain the structural integrity of eggs in order to secure determination of developmental stages. Formalin is commonly used as a fixative, however, this compound is associated with health issues, and fish eggs fixated in formalin are often not stageable after longer storage. The present study shows that 5% acidic Lugol’s solution is an efficient fixative for ichtyoplankton, and superior to formalin fixation. Flounder eggs retained their structure and staging was easy even after 1 year of storage in acidic Lugol’s solution. 相似文献

With the discovery of a high molecular diversity of protists, a discrepancy between morphological and molecular species richness estimates became apparent. Solving the current concerns requires a comparative analysis of different sequences combined with morphological analyses of single cells originating from preserved field samples. We refined a single‐cell PCR (SC‐PCR) protocol for analyzing cells from field samples preserved with Lugol’s iodine solution. We linked microscopic screening with multiplex PCR targeting the SSU rDNA, internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1), 5.8S rDNA, internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2), and the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (CO1) in a single PCR reaction. Using this method, we investigated the intraspecific molecular variation in Dinobryon populations originating from two lakes in the Salzkammergut area of Austria. All investigated genetic markers showed two separated clusters within the investigated populations of Dinobryon divergens O. E. Imhof, indicating a reproductive isolation of the two coexisting populations. Based on these findings, we describe a lineage, which is morphologically similar to D. divergens but, based on the molecular data, is reproductively isolated. 相似文献

A new fixation method for unmineralized haptophytes is presented. Water samples are fixed with a mixture of Lugol's solution and glutaraldehyde (final concentration 1% Lugol and 0.25% glutaraldehyde). This method preserves flagella, haptonema, and body scales very well, making light microscopical quantification at the genus level possible as well as species identification in the transmission electron microscope. The method has been tested on cultured material and natural water samples (salinities 5–34 psu). 相似文献

Endocardial mapping has suggested that Purkinje fibers may play a role in the maintenance of long-duration ventricular fibrillation (LDVF). To determine the influence of Purkinje fibers on LDVF, we chemically ablated the Purkinje system with Lugol solution and recorded endocardial and transmural activation during LDVF. Dog hearts were isolated and perfused, and the ventricular endocardium was exposed and treated with Lugol solution (n = 6) or normal Tyrode solution as a control (n = 6). The left anterior papillary muscle endocardium was mapped with a 504-electrode (21 x 24) plaque with electrodes spaced 1 mm apart. Transmural activation was recorded with a six-electrode plunge needle on each side of the plaque. Ventricular fibrillation (VF) was induced, and perfusion was halted. LDVF spontaneously terminated sooner in Lugol-ablated hearts than in control hearts (4.9 +/- 1.5 vs. 9.2 +/- 3.2 min, P = 0.01). After termination of VF, both the control and Lugol hearts were typically excitable, but only short episodes of VF could be reinduced. Endocardial activation rates were similar during the first 2 min of LDVF for Lugol-ablated and control hearts but were significantly slower in Lugol hearts by 3 min. In control hearts, the endocardium activated more rapidly than the epicardium after 4 min of LDVF with wave fronts propagating most often from the endocardium to epicardium. No difference in transmural activation rate or wave front direction was observed in Lugol hearts. Ablation of the subendocardium hastens VF spontaneous termination and alters VF activation sequences, suggesting that Purkinje fibers are important in the maintenance of LDVF. 相似文献

Biological volatilization of iodine from seawaters was studied using a radiotracer technique. Seawater samples were incubated aerobically in serum bottles with radioactive iodide tracer (125I), and volatile organic and inorganic iodine were collected with activated charcoal and silver wool trap, respectively. Iodine was volatilized mainly as organic iodine, and inorganic iodine volatilization was not observed. Influence of light intensity on the volatilization was determined, but no significant differences were observed under light (70,000 lux) and dark conditions. The effect of the chemical form of iodine on the volatilization was determined, and the results suggested that volatilization preferentially occurs from iodide (I?) but not from iodate (IO3 ?). Volatilization did not occur when the samples were autoclaved or filtered through a 0.22-μm pore size membrane filter. Incubation of the samples with antibiotics caused decreased volatilization. Conversely, enhanced volatilization was observed when the samples were incubated with yeast extract. Fifty-nine marine bacterial strains were then randomly isolated from marine environments, and their iodine-volatilizing capacities were determined. Among these, 19 strains exhibited significant capacities for volatilizing iodine. 16S ribosomal RNA gene comparisons indicated that these bacteria are members of Proteobacteria (α and γ subdivisions) and Cytophaga-Flexibacter-Bacteroides group. One of the strains, strain C-19, volatilized 1 to 2% of total iodine during cultivation, and the gaseous organic iodine was identified as methyl iodide (CH3I). These results suggest that organic iodine volatilization from seawaters occurs biologically, and that marine bacteria participate in the process. Considering that volatile organic iodine emitted from the oceans causes atmospheric ozone destruction, biological iodine volatilization from seawater is of great importance. Our results also contribute to prediction of movement and diffusion of long-lived radioactive iodine (129I) in the environment. 相似文献

The results of the investigations of radioactive contamination after the Chernobyl catastrophe and subsequent iodine prophylaxis on the thyroid gland function and morphology in Northeast Poland. The aim of the study was to determine whether kalium iodine in one dose during radioactive contamination in Poland limited the radioactive dose in the thyroid gland and if significant disadvantageous side-effects in the intrathyroid and extrathyroid occurred. Additionally during the studies we tried to determine if radioactive iodine contamination which occurred in the region of the Medical Academy in Bia?ystok caused an increase in thyroid disease. It is interesting to note the different results obtained after radioactive contamination with the results from the investigations in this same territory in 1983-1985. In 1983-1985, before the Chernobyl catastrophe, 6,921 persons in Northeast Poland were investigated. In 1986-1988, immediately after the disaster 4,010 persons were investigated. The main study according to grant No MZ-XVII was carried out in three provinces: Bia?ystok, Suwa?ki and Olsztyn. In this investigation 10,011 persons born before April 26, 1986 and after January 1, 1936 participated, 5,789 townspeople and 4,222 villagers, 3,987 children up to 16 years of age it the time of the disaster 1,973 boys and 2,009 girls; 6,024 adults 2,509 men and 3,516 women were drawn from a register. Committed doses to the thyroid in the investigated region were one of the highest in Poland and depended on age group and were depended on time of prophylaxis non proportional. Iodine prophylaxis was provided mainly with one dose of Lugol solution about 90%, 95% children and 30% adults took iodine. The majority of the population (53.3%-74%) were given iodine in April. From May 1st to 5th 23.0-43.4% received iodine, but after May 5th very few persons. Iodine was well tolerated, but Lugol Solution was better tolerated than other kinds of iodine. Only 241 (4.4%) cases had side effects, mainly vomiting (143), symptoms such as stomach ache, diarrhea, dyspnoe, skinrash etc. in lesser numbers. 12% (29 persons) were seen by a physician. In the investigated population were 200 pregnant women aged 19-40 years of which the majority (177) delivered full term healthy babies. Only 1 interrupted pregnancy and 7 had spontaneous abortion. Changes in the thyroid were noticed by 187 persons (2.3%-11.7%) most of which were enlargement of the thyroid, but only a few were confirmed by a physician. In the studied population from 1989 to 1990 over 30% of the population had struma.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Gram-negative bacteria stained with crystal violet are decolorized by 95% alcohol within 2 min, whereas Gram-positive bacteria require at least 3 min treatment. Aqueous solutions of safranin, neutral red, and fuschsin replace crystal violet from stained Gram-positive bacteria more quickly than alcohol alone, and alcoholic solutions of these counterstains are in most cases still more effective. Treatment of crystal violet-stained organisms with alcoholic safranin (0.25%) for 15 sec will distinguish Gram-positive bacteria (violet) from Gram-negative bacteria (pink). Alcohol containing very low concentrations of iodine generally decolorizes crystal violet-stained Gram-positive bacteria more quickly than alcohol alone. Increasing concentrations of iodine in alcohol reduce the rate of decolorization of stained bacteria, but stained Gram-negative bacteria are still readily decolorized. The addition of 0.1% iodine to alcohol increases the rate of extraction of crystal violet by alcohol from Gram-negative organisms, but delays extraction of dye from Gram-positive organisms, and this applies when counterstain is also present. A two-solution modification of Gram staining is described in which crystal violet-stained bacteria are treated with an alcoholic solution of safranin, fuchsin, and iodine. 相似文献

Dental plaque samples from (i) subjects with no apparent oral disease, (ii) mentally retarded subjects with periodontal disease, and (iii) subjects with active caries were collected in three transport media viz. a dithiothreitol poised balanced mineral salt solution designated as reduced transport fluid (RTF), VMG II, and modified Stuart medium (SBL). The samples were dispersed by sonic treatment, diluted in the respective medium in which they were collected, and cultured on MM10 sucrose agar. The efficiency of the transport media in the survival of dental plaque flora was determined by comparing the quantitative recovery (expressed as percentage of the initial viable count) from the specimens stored for various lengths of time. The data showed a great variation in the recovery of the oral bacterial flora from the plaque samples. VMG II and SBL served better than RTF as storage media for non-disease-associated dental plaque cultured under strict anaerobic conditions. Recoveries of bacteria from periodontal plaque specimens stored in RTF were higher than SBL and VMG II under identical conditions. The organisms present in the carious plaque samples appeared to survive much better in RTF and VMG II than in SBL as determined by conventional anaerobic culturing technique. However, VMG II showed a higher recovery of organisms from these specimens with an increase in the storage period, suggesting multiplication of the plaque flora. RTF did not allow the growth of oral bacterial flora under all experimental conditions. On the basis of the relative performance of these media it is suggested that RTF is a satisfactory medium for the transport of oral bacteria present in the samples. 相似文献

Microbial inulinases are an important class of industrial enzymes, which are used for the production of fructooligosaccharides and high-fructose syrup. Endoinulinase producing bacterial strains were isolated from soil samples taken from the vicinity of Asparagus sp. root tubers. All the bacterial strains were screened for inulinase activity. The primary screening was carried out based on hydrolytic zone on agar plates containing inulin-based medium and Lugol’s iodine solution. Thus 30 inulinase producing bacterial strains were isolated. Out of 30 strains, 5 bacterial strains were found endoinulolytic, whereas 25 were exoinulolytic on the basis of action pattern of the enzyme. In tertiary screening, the bacterial isolate AS-08 was found to be most efficient for inulinase activity. Morphological, biochemical and physiological characteristics of the bacterial isolate AS-08 confirmed it as Bacillus sp. Furthermore, species-specific identification by 16S rDNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis revealed the isolate as Bacillus safensis. Bacillus pumilus SH-B30 was found to be the nearest homolog. The strain showed maximum inulinase activity (12.56 U/mL) after 20 h of incubation at 37°C. 相似文献

The study, supported by program MZ-XVII, was carried on 4567 inhabitants of the area of Szczecin (2350 females and 2217 males). The population was chosen randomly, according to a simple drawing scheme. All subjects were clinically examined using standardised questionnaires. In 3468 persons (including 1807 girls and women, 1661 boys and men) apart form clinical examination, the assessment of thyrotropin, thyroxine and triiodothyronine in serum and frequency of antithyroglobulin antibodies and antithyroid membrane antibodies were evaluated. The data indicate that 94% of children in Szczecin's region received the prophylactic dose of iodine, mostly between the 1st and the 5th of May 1986. Only 17% of the adults received iodine. The most common preparation was Lugol solution given in a single dose. Among all persons who received iodine, only in 5% of subjects the side effects were noted (mostly in children), including symptoms of gastrointestinal tract (vomiting, abdomen pain) and occasionally intrathyroid side effects (thyroid pains). In examined population the high frequency of thyroid enlargement, mainly in women (up to 43-44% at the age group 30-50 years) was found. The frequency of clinical diagnosis of thyroid disease was higher in women than in man (most often the diffuse goiter, rarely the nodular goiter). The frequency of thyroid enlargement and clinical diagnosis of thyroid disease was not dependent on prophylactic iodine intake. The iodine prophylaxis did not influence on thyroid hormones and TSH serum levels and on frequency of antithyroid antibodies. 相似文献

Iodine staining combined with X-ray computed tomography (CT) has become a core approach in anatomy, offering three-dimensional and essentially non-destructive imaging of soft tissues. Although there have been rapid advances in methodologies and techniques, the mechanisms underlying diffusible iodine contrast-enhanced CT are not yet fully understood. The protocols for staining samples of differing sizes and tissue types have not yet been justified theoretically. Here we utilize mass transfer modeling to simulate iodine diffusion and predict iodine concentrations within distinct tissue types. We also undertake iodine staining experiments to visualize the detailed anatomy and contrast effects on whole-body avian specimens using different concentrations of iodine solution to compare with model simulation results. The simulations effectively explain most observed concentration changes in differently-sized samples over distinct iodine treatment durations. These results also provide insight into the mechanisms behind the efficacy of solution replenishment for enhancing staining effects. Both consistencies and inconsistencies between our simulation and experimental results regarding iodine concentration in tissues will inform further investigations to optimize iodine staining protocols. 相似文献

Many oil fields are in remote locations, and the time required for shipment of produced water samples for microbiological
examination may be lengthy. No studies have reported on how storage of oil field waters can change their characteristics.
Produced water samples from three Alberta oil fields were collected in sterile, industry-approved 4-l epoxy-lined steel cans,
sealed with minimal headspace and stored under anoxic conditions for 14 days at either 4°C or room temperature (ca. 21°C).
Storage resulted in significant changes in water chemistry, microbial number estimates and/or community response to amendment
with nitrate. During room-temperature storage, activity and growth of sulfate-reducing bacteria (and, to a lesser extent,
fermenters and methanogens) in the samples led to significant changes in sulfide, acetate and propionate concentrations as
well as a significant increase in most probable number estimates, particularly of sulfate-reducing bacteria. Sulfide production
during room-temperature storage was likely to be responsible for the altered response to nitrate amendment observed in microcosms
containing sulfidogenic samples. Refrigerated storage suppressed sulfate reduction and growth of sulfate-reducing bacteria.
However, declines in sulfide concentrations were observed in two of the three samples stored at 4°C, suggesting abiotic losses
of sulfide. In one of the samples stored at room temperature, nitrate amendment led to ammonification. These results demonstrate
that storage of oil field water samples for 14 days, such as might occur because of lengthy transport times or delays before
analysis in the laboratory, can affect microbial numbers and activity as well as water sample chemistry. 相似文献

Epidemiologic studies following the Czernobyl accident were performed in region Kraków, including Kraków, Nowy Sacz and Kielce district. 1426 males and 2495 females were selected according to the random sample on the whole population of Kraków and Nowy Sacz, as well as in some selected areas in Swietokrzyski Mountains, and in Kielcecity. The aim of the study was to assess the results of the prophylaxis with Kalium iodine after the radiation and the incidence of the goiter in the population. It was stated, that 19.2% of the population in Kraków district, 16.9% in Nowy Sacz and 20% in Kielce received the prophylactic dosis of K.J. 80% took mainly the Lugol solution, between May, the 1st and 5th, 1986. Among 18 of person showing side effects like gastrointestinal disturbances, 16 were of female sex. Goiter incidence according to WHO classification was 50.7%, 67.3% and 49.9% in Kraków, Nowy Sacz and Kielce respectively. The difference between the incidence of goiter in males and females was 1:3. In women it was rather Ist and IInd degree of goiter, in men OB and Ist. Nodules of thyroid gland in the rural region of Kraków, Nowy Sacz and Kielce were seen in women in 10.8%, 1.7%, add 12.3% consecutively. Hormonal studies i.e T3, T4, TSH serum concentration showed normal results in all groups studied. TSH concentration was the highest in the group OB. The microsomal and antithyroglobulin antibodies level was the same independently on the prophylactic dosis of Lugol solution. The high incidence of thyroid diseases not related to the accident was observed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Rapid quantification of planktonic ciliates: comparison of improved live counting with other methods
THE FOLLOWING EFFICIENT AND QUANTITATIVELY VALID METHOD TO FILTER CONCENTRATE AND COUNT LIVE PLANKTONIC CILIATES WAS DEVELOPED AND COMPARED WITH OTHER TREATMENTS: unconcentrated (raw) samples and centrifuged samples were counted live, and the effects of five different fixatives (HgCl(2), Lugol's iodine, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, and Champy-DaFano) on the counts were monitored. Samples originated from a eutrophic mountain lake (Lake Aydat, near Clermont-Ferrand, France). Overall, live filtered counts were similar to counts of raw samples, but they were significantly higher (2 to 2.3 fold, P < 0.05) by analysis of variance than counts from centrifuged samples. Nevertheless, some taxa, i.e., Halteria and Loxodes spp., were sensitive to filtration. The live filtered counts were also comparable to counts of raw HgCl(2)-fixed and settled samples. HgCl(2) and Lugol fixation consistently gave the highest total counts, while significantly lower counts were always obtained with Champy-DaFano-fixed samples. Losses due to fixation were insignificant for raw samples but were substantial and statistically significant in concentrated samples (15% after filtration and 71% after centrifugation, compared with counts from the corresponding live samples). Live counting of passively filter-concentrated ciliates has many advantages over other methods. It is two to four times quicker and more efficient. Ciliates are recognized with certainty, more species are identified, and enumeration of dead organisms (e.g., tintinnid loricas) is avoided. It should be recommended as a quantitatively valid alternative to classical methods for assessing planktonic ciliate populations. 相似文献

Raw milk used to produce Grana cheese was subjected to several treatment regimes, including varying temperatures and storage
times. Milk from morning and evening milking were transferred to a dairy factory separately (double delivery) or together
(single delivery), after storage at the farm for 12 h; in the former case, milk was stored at 12 or 8°C, whereas, in the latter,
it was kept at ambient temperature or 18°C. Values of pH of the vat milk were lower for milk samples kept at room temperature,
while other physico-chemical parameters and rheological characteristics tested did not show significant differences linked
to the different storage temperatures of milk used for “Grana Trentino” cheese production. Total microorganisms and several
microbial groups (psychrotrophic bacteria, coliforms, mesophilic and termophilic lactic acid bacteria, including enterococci,
pseudomonads and clostridia) were detected and quantified by classical (plate count and most probable number) techniques,
after each technological treatment for a total of 212 milk and cream samples. The application of a culture-independent microbiological
strategy, consisting of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, allowed the recognition of several bacterial genera and species. 相似文献

Solubilities of dye-iodine precipitates in alcohol and in aqueous safranin solution were determined by direct solubility methods and by photocolorimetric methods. It was found that, increasing precipitate solubility in alcohol or safranin solution gave decreasing differentiation between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Dyes which did not stain the cells well as a primary stain did not give good Gram stains, regardless of the solubilities of their precipitates. Some dyes (typified by methylene blue) which gave relatively alcohol-insoluble iodine precipitates gave inferior Gram differentiation because these precipitates were readily soluble in the safranin counterstain.
Solubilities of precipitates of crystal violet and various iodine substitutes were determined photocolorimetrically. The ability of a substance to replace iodine in the Gram stain correlated with its ability to give a precipitate which was only slightly soluble in alcohol and relatively insoluble in aqueous safranin solution.
It was concluded that the usual Gram reagents are not truly specific for the differentiation. Any dye and mordant could be used if the dye was deeply colored, stained the cells well, and if the precipitate of dye and mordant was only slightly soluble in alcohol and relatively insoluble in the counterstain. These factors, combined with those influencing differences in cell membrane permeability, constitute the most important factors in the Gram stain differentiation.
Studies were made concerning the ability of dyes to substitute for crystal violet in the Gram procedure. Of 29 dye samples reported on here for the first time none proved to be good substitutes for crystal violet. 相似文献
