Abstract

Three marine, heterotrophic, aerobic, agarolytic, pigmented and gliding bacteria were isolated in June 2000 from a sea water sample that was collected in the Gulf of Peter the Great, Sea of Japan, and analysed in a polyphasic taxonomic study. 16S rDNA sequence analysis indicated that strains KMM 3664(T), KMM 3669 and KMM 3915 were members of the family Flavobacteriaceae. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, genotypic and phylogenetic data, the isolates were classified in the genus Cellulophaga as members of a novel species, Cellulophaga pacifica sp. nov. The type strain is KMM 3664(T) (=JCM 11735(T)=LMG 21938(T)).

Short-cut nitrification of domestic wastewater in a pilot-scale A/O nitrogen removal plant.

The feasibility of nitrite accumulation in a pilot-scale A/O (anoxic/oxic) nitrogen removal plant treating domestic wastewater was investigated at various dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations and pH levels. The results showed that the pH was not a useful operational parameter to realize nitrite accumulation. Significant nitrite accumulation was observed at the low DO concentration range of 0.3-0.8 mg/l and the maximum nitrite accumulation ratio of about 90% occurred at a DO concentration of 0.6 mg/l. This suggests a reduction of 22% in the oxygen consumption, and therefore a considerable saving in aeration. However, the nitrite accumulation was destroyed at the high DO concentration and the resumption was very slow. In addition, the average ammonia removal efficiency reached as high as 93% at the low DO level. Moreover, experimental results indicated that nitrogen could be removed by simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) via nitrite in the aerobic zones at the low DO concentration, with the efficiency of 6-12%.

Reactivation of aerobic and anaerobic ammonium oxidizers in OLAND biomass after long-term storage.

The biomass of an oxygen-limited autotrophic nitrification/denitrification (OLAND) biofilm reactor was preserved in various ways to find a storage method for both aerobic and anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (AerAOB and AnAOB). Storage occurred at -20 degrees C with and without glycerol as cryoprotectant and at 4 and 20 degrees C with and without nitrate as redox buffer. After 2 and 5 months, reactivation of AerAOB and AnAOB was achieved with the biomass stored at 4 degrees C with and without nitrate and at 20 degrees C with nitrate. Moreover, the presence of the AerAOB and AnAOB was confirmed with fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Preservation in a nitrate environment resulted in a lag phase for the AnAOB reactivation. The supplied nitrate was denitrified during storage, and a real-time polymerase chain reaction with nitrifying and denitrifying genes allowed to estimate that at least 1.0 to 6.0% of the OLAND biofilm consisted of denitrifiers. It was concluded that reactivation after long-term storage is possible and that preservation at 4 degrees C without nitrate addition is the recommended storage technique. The possibility to store OLAND biomass will facilitate research on AnAOB and can overcome larger-scale start-up and inhibition problems of novel nitrogen processes involving AnAOB.

Decontamination of rough titanium surfaces with diode lasers: microbiological findings on in vivo grown biofilms.

OBJECTIVES: The bactericidal efficacy of diode lasers has already been demonstrated in vitro. We investigated the reduction of aerobe bacteria - colonizing rough titanium samples in biofilms intraorally grown - by diode lasers of different wave lengths. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty-two volunteers participated in the trial. They were fitted for 10 days with custom-made intraoral plastic splints carrying titanium sleeves. A part of the sleeves was then irradiated with diode lasers in different modes. The other part remained non-irradiated and served as control. Directly after irradiation, the sleeves were swabbed and the gained bacteria were first examined microscopically and then were cultured under aerobic conditions. RESULTS: The bacteria in the controls and in the treated samples were quantified. A comparison with the controls revealed a marked overall reduction of bacterial colonization in all irradiated sleeves. Continuous irradiation for 20 s reduced bacteria counts by 99.67% at 810 nm and 99.58% at 980 nm. Repeating the 20 s exposure five times reduced counts by 99.98% at 810 nm and by 99.39% at 980 nm. A 98.86% reduction was seen after irradiation in pulsed mode. A further analysis in respect of different isolated bacteria revealed that the streptococci group was reduced by 99.29-99.99%, while the staphylococci group was reduced to a lesser extent in the range 94.67-99.99%. CONCLUSION: The results are of clinical relevance. In comparison with the mean bacterial counts of the untreated samples, all irradiation programs studied in this investigation reduced mean bacterial colonization in a biofilm on intraoral rough titanium surfaces by more than 98%. The actual extent of reduction was dependent on the bacteria species as well as on the irradiation mode.
