The mechanism of antibacterial activity is through inhibition of gram-positive bacterial cell-wall synthesis thus, the penicillins are most effective against actively multiplying organisms. Because mammalian cells do not have a definitive cell-wall stmcture as do bacteria, the mammalian toxicity of the penicillins is low. Allergic phenomena in patients following sensitization may occur. 

Since his early pioneering work on the rhizosphere (a term Hiltner used to describe specifically the interaction between bacteria and legume roots), our knowledge of the subject has greatly increased, and today perhaps a more appropriate definition of the rhizosphere is the field of action or influence of a root (1). The rhizosphere is generally considered to be a narrow zone of soil subject to the influence of living roots, where root exudates stimulate or inhibit microbial populations and their activities. The rhizoplane or root surface also provides a... 

Bioavailability issues have been reviewed previously (Mihelcic etal. 1993 Boesten 1993 Baveye and Bladon 1999 Ehlers and Luthy 2003). In this review, we discuss specifically the bioavailability of soil- or sediment-sorbed organic contaminants to pollutant-degrading bacteria. Direct uptake of sorbed contaminants is perhaps the most controversial and least understood process. The definition of bioavailability given by Alexander (2000) will be used in this review. The term bioaccessibility encompasses what is immediately available plus that which may become available, whereas bioavailability refers to what is available immediately. 

The fairly recent discovery of bacteria living in obscure environments (Table 9.2) has led to a new classification of bacteria the extremophile bacteria, with a diverse array of likes and dislikes. A useful working definition for extremophile is ... 

Many types of extremophile bacteria have been identified, described by some of the following definitions ... 

The metabolism of SRB bacteria is not dependent on temperature (Tsukamoto et al, 2004), but there are definite seasonal variations observed in the system. Differences are small but statistically significant. The rates of removal for... 

In the chapter opener, you considered how the terms "natural" and "chemical" are used inaccurately. A natural substance is a substance that occurs in nature and is not artificial. A chemical is any substance that has been made using chemical processes in a laboratory. A chemical can also be defined as any substance that is composed of atoms. This definition covers most things on Earth. Go to the web site above, and click on Web Links to find out where to go next. Look up some nafura/poisons, pesticides, and antibiotics that are produced by animals, plants, and bacteria. Then look up some beneficial chemicals that have been synthesized by humans. Make a poster to illustrate your findings.
