Given the evidence that E. coli can establish in the periphytic community and be released back into the water column, it is important to understand the pathogenicity of this group of E. coli by examining the virulence genes ...

Recently there has been a surge of interest in the ability of enterohemmorhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) to survive in aquatic environments. It has been speculated a correlation may exist between the genotype of an E. ...

The effect of carbon-starvation on the stress resistance responses of a p-nitrophenol degrading Moraxella strain was examined in both, buffer and river water samples. The Moraxella strain showed optimal stress resistance ...

With the widespread existence of environmental pollutants in the modern world, effective, non-destructive means of remediation are becoming more and more desirable as an alternative to the traditional excavation and ...

The survival of two selected fecal indicator organisms, two strains of Escherichia coli, a Gram-negative bacterium, and two strains of Enterococcus faecalis, a Gram-positive bacterium, after freezing and thawing successively ...

Subsurface microbial transport is an important concern in many engineering projects. Expanding the knowledge of this process is important for the risk assessment of sites capable of releasing pathogenic bacterial species ...

Homologous linear recombination using the recombinogenic capabilites of phage red genes exo, bet and gam, has been used increasingly to generate targeted gene replacements in Gram-negative bacteria.

Sorption is an important process in the retention of pathogens by clay barriers. Batch sorption experiments were conducted to investigate the sorption of nonpathogenic 'E. coli' to illite, kaolinite, and montmorillonite ...
