Bacterial growth conditions

Phenol Coefficient Test. The first important attempt at standardizing testing methods was known as the phenol coefficient test (96). It has been modified several times, and is an official AO AC screening test recognized by EPA and PDA. The phenol coefficient test compares the activity of disinfectants to that of phenol, under specific conditions, to give a number that measures the activity of the chemical tested with respect to that of phenol, ie, the phenol coefficient. The AO AC method employs visual examination of bacterial growth in a nutrient medium. The Kelsey-Sykes test (1969) is a modified method popular in British circles. 

Modify the environment After cleaning and disinfecting an area that is contaminated by fungal or bacterial growth, control humidity to make conditions inhospitable for regrowth. 

Random and structured packings are susceptible to surface fouling due to process conditions and/or the presence of oxygen as may be related to bacterial growth. Some systems will precipitate solids or crystals from solution usually due to the temperature and concentration effects. Bravo [135] discusses air-water stripping and illus-...

PTLC was also used for the separation of lipid components in pathogenic bacteria. Mycobacterium avium has a requirement for fatty acids, which can be fulfilled by palmitic or oleic acid, and these fatty acids are then incorporated into triagylglycerols [80]. PTLC was used for the separation of fatty acids and triacylglycerols in the extracts of these bacterial cells to study the lipid classes in the bacterial cells cultured under different growth conditions. 

Stability of several enzymes like proteases from thermophilic micro-organisms can be increased in aqueous-organic biphasic systems. Owusu and Cowan [67] observed a strong positive correlation between bacterial growth temperature, the thermostability of free protein extracts, and enzyme stability in aqueous-organic biphasic systems (Table 1). Enzymes, like other cell components (membranes, DNA, (RNA ribosomes), are adapted to withstand the environmental conditions under which the organism demonstrates optimal growth.
