Abstract

A comparison of identifications of 201 clinical isolates with the 21-test API 20 Enteric kit and the subset of tests in API 10S indicated 85.6% agreement at the species level and 93.5% agreement at the genus level.

Luminometric measurement of population activity of genetically modified Pseudomonas fluorescens in the soil.

Genetically modified cells of Pseudomonas fluorescens, chromosomally marked with genes for bioluminescence, were inoculated into sterile soil microcosms. During incubation for 90 days, viable cell concentration did not change significantly but light output, measured by luminometry, decreased, indicating reduced metabolic activity due to lack of substrates. Amendment with nutrients resulted in parallel increases in both luminescence and dehydrogenase activity. Luminometry therefore enables rapid monitoring of the activity of populations of luminescence-marked microbial inocula in the soil, with greater sensitivity and selectivity than traditional techniques.
