Optimum growth temperatures were determined for nine strains of Streptococcus thermophilus and ten strains of Lactobacillus bulgaricus, all commercial yogurt or yogurt
starter isolates. Optimum growth temperatures ranged from 35 C to 42 C for S.thermophilus strains, averaging 38.6. Optimum growth temperatures for L.bulgaricus strains ranged from 43 C to...
We performed a real-world, controlled intervention to investigate
use of an antimicrobial surface polymer, MSDS Poly, on environmental
contamination. Pathogenic bacteria were identified in 18
(90%) of 20 observations in treated rooms and 19 (83%) of 23
observations in untreated rooms (P = .67). MSDS Poly had no
significant effect...
Pollen analyses of sediments from Holes 1019C, 1019E, 1020C, and 1020D as well as piston Core EW9504-17 provide
continuous, chronostratigraphically controlled proxy vegetation and climate data for coastal northwest North America for the
last ~500 k.y. Systematic changes in the representation of the diagnostic components of northern California plant assemblages...
OBJECTIVE. To quantify the association between admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) room most recently occupied by a patient positive for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (EBSL)-producing gram-negative bacteria and acquisition of infection or colonization with that pathogen.
DESIGN. Retrospective cohort study.
SETTING AND PATIENTS. The study included patients admitted to medical...
The mass accumulation rates of sedimentary components (carbonate, organic carbon, opal, barite, reactive phosphate, iron, terrigenous minerals, etc.) are used in many paleoceanographic reconstructions to learn about temporal and spatial changes in surficial Earth processes including wind stress and direction, oceanic circulation, weathering rates, marine productivity and ecosystem structure, climate...
We constructed biogenic mass accumulation rate (MAR) time series for eastern Pacific core transects across the equator at ~105˚and ~85˚W and along the equator from 80˚to 140˚W. We used empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis to extract spatially coherent patterns of CaCO₃deposition for the last 150 kyr. EOF mode 1 (51%...
