Bacteria were isolated from water at Alder Slough, Oregon. Of
15 isolates grown successfully in the medium employed, 100% showed
measurable uptake of Zn-65. A growth curve was established for one
isolate, a gram-negative rod designated AS-1. Increasing Zn-65 uptake
was found generally to correspond with increasing growth of
AS-1....
Research on the application of soluble, metal chelates for
water tracing using thermal neutron activation analysis for tracer
determination has led to the development of several tracers with
promising solution stabilities (conservative behavior) and determination sensitivities. The solution stabilities of the ethylenediamine
tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and the diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid...
