Characterization of Campylobacter jejuni growing in biofilms under different conditions
(2005)The viability of C. jejuni biofilms growing in different conditions was investigated by conventional plate counts and microscopy after nucleic acid staining. Differences were detected for each condition tested. However, ... -
Characterization of genetic determinants for growth and structure of Listeria monocytogenes biofilms / by Nicholas Choy.
(2007, c200)This thesis investigated wild-type 'Listeria monocytogenes ' EGD and five of its corresponding mutant strains (M1, M4, M7, M11 and M14) for their ability to form biofilms on glass at 22°C and 37°C, with and without shear ... -
Characterization of the second internal transcribed spacer (ITS-2)rDNA region among the Elaphostrongylinae (Nematoda:Protostrongylidae)
(2002)Four species of elaphostrongyline nematodes are known to infect cervids in North America. One species, Parelaphostrongylus tenuis, can cause neurologic disease (parelaphostrongylosis) in cervid hosts other than white ... -
Characterization, distribution and pathogenicity of bacteria isolated from chlorotic white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss)
(1981)Several genera of bacteria were isolated from the foliage, twigs, bark and wood of stems of chlorotic 10 - 12 years old white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss). Most of the isolates were nonspore-forming, aerobic ... -
