The moisture and temperature conditions were favorable for microbiai growth and several moisture indicating microbes were analyzed in crawlspaces and in indoor air. The crawl spaces were positively pressurized when compared to indoor spaces. Thus, the convective flow via the air leakages across the ...
Microbial growth occurs when the genetic constitution of an organism and the physico-chemical condition of its environment are compatible. The effects of physical conditions on the growth of populations have been explored for many years and latterly such work has been augmented by studies of the ...
Continuous culturing of individually controlled growth experiments in parallel and at high-throughput is enabled with an automated DIY platform. Precise control over microbial cell growth conditions could enable detection of minute phenotypic changes, wh
Both methanol and bicarbonate were necessary for the growth of the mixed cultures under anaerobic-light conditions. Growth behavior of the mixed cultures was examined on a medium containing 0.1% methanol and 0.1 % bicarbonate at 30掳C in the light (about 6000 lx). The maximum specific growth ...
Temporal standard deviation (TSD) scales inversely with the square root of inoculum size for five models of stochastic exponential growth. For each model, inocula are either exact or Poisson-distributed, and growth either obeys the simple birth process (SBP), deterministic exponential growth, or ag...
Microbial growth and mVOC emissions occur at lower relative humidity in carpet and floor dust compared to drywall, which has important implications for human exposure. Even under elevated relative humidity conditions, the VOC emissions profile is dominated by non-microbial VOCs, although potential mVOC...
Optimum conditions have been established for culture of the fungus Candida albicans (ATCC 90028) for microbial detection of zones in direct bioautographic
The effect of super atmospheric O2 and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on plant metabolism, organoleptic quality and microbial growth of minimally processed baby spinach was studied. Packaging film O2 transmission rates and initial levels of super atmospheric O2 in the packages significantly affected...

The Rhizobium-legume symbiosis in arid ecosystems is particularly important for locations where the area of saline soils is increasing and becoming a threa
