Bacteria types

Mice are utilized for testing antiseptics for appHcation to cuts, wounds, and incisions (339). The test bacteria, type 1 pneumococcus and hemolytic streptococcus, ate appHed to the taHs of anaesthetized mice. The tip of the taH is then dipped into the antiseptic for 2 min, after which one-half inch of the taH is removed and inserted into the peritoneal cavity and the incision is closed. If after 10 days the animals survive, the product is considered satisfactory for use as a skin antiseptic. The blood of dead animals is sampled and streaked on blood agar for confirmation of infection from the test bacteria as the cause of death. Since lack of toxicity is another requirement of a product to be appHed to wounds, this test has been combined with a toxicity test (340).

In the ambient atmosphere, chlorobenzene will exist as a vapor, and will be degraded by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals, with an estimated half-life of 21 days. Photolysis half-lives of 4-18 h were measured in aqueous media. Chlorobenzene is expected to volatilize from soil, and is predicted to have high mobility based on the Kqc values. Biodegradation results are variable based on soil type and bacteria type. In river water, the biodegradation half-life was reported to be 150 days, and 75 days in the sediment. Volatilization is expected to occur from water surfaces. Hydrolysis is not predicted to occur.

FIGURE 4.7 Classification of bacteria types according to their temperature tolerance. While thermophiles (heat tolerant) prefer rather hot environments, mesophiles lie within room-temperature boundary, and cold-tolerant psychrophiles can tolerate rather low temperatures The temperature ranges are given in Fahrenheit (100°C = 212°F and 0°C = 32°F). 

Physical state of bacteria (type, concentration, and physiological state). It is evident that bacteria or other organisms must be present in a distribution system for biological regrowth to occur. The possible sources of bacteria in the water are ... 

Anthranilate synthetase the enzyme which catalyses the formation of anthranilate (34) from chorismate (14) and L-glutamine (Figure 1.14) has been isolated and characterised from a number of microorganisms. Two main types have been identified in bacteria. Type I has been obtained uncontaminated with other enzymes of the... 

As previously mentioned, PKSs can be grouped into different classes on the basis of their molecular architecture and to some extent their mode of action. The major divisions are into types I, II and III (Fig. 1.6) [17, 18]. Type 1 PKSs, which can be further subdivided, are primarily found in bacteria and fnngi, whereas lype II PKSs are exclusive to bacteria. Type III PKSs are predominantly observed in plants, however some examples are known in bacteria and fnngi. 

Figure 5.372 shows the accumulation-time profiles for various bacteria on various plastics, reflecting the influence of materials structure and bacteria type. Adhesion equilibrium is achieved within 24 hours. As the temperature increases, the rate...
