Stormwater runoff is a significant cause for impairment of many water bodies, a problem that will inevitably escalate due to increasing land-cover change associated with urbanization. The effect of stormwater runoff has spurred legislation and the subsequent development and adoption of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to treat stormwater. This work...
Four-fold partially purified glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
(G-6-PDH) from the obligately psychrophilic marine bacterium
Vibrio marinus was effected by thermally induced leakage of the
enzyme, ammonium sulfate fractionation and column chromatography
on Sephadex G-200 gel.
The effects of temperature, pressure, salinity, and pH were
determined for the various degrees of enzyme purity....
Members of the SAR11 clade of heterotrophic α-proteobacteria are ubiquitous and abundant in the world's oceans where they are thought to play a pivotal role in the global carbon cycle. The first SAR11 bacterium cultivated in vitro, 'Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique' HTCC1062 (Ca. P. ubique), was isolated by dilution into sterile...
Effect of 6.0% polyphosphate treatment on microbial growth and
composition of microbial flora of three representative seafoods were
investigated.
Polyphosphate treatment washed off microorganisms by 1 log in
peeled shrimp (10⁷ to 10⁶ and 10⁶ to 10⁵) and cooked crab meat (10⁶
to 10⁵) and by 2 logs in red...
Means of improving yield and quality of cooked meat from Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) were investigated. Processing factors of cooking time, cooking medium, and condensed phosphate treatment were evaluated. The effect of condensed phosphate treatment and its interrelationship with cooking time and medium on meat was determined.
Meat yield (wet...
