Floc sizing techniques.

Abstract

In the study of mass transfer of substrate through floc particles, it is essential to have an estimate of floc size. This study presents floc size measurements made on pure culture bacterial floc and shows their applicability to mass transfer studies. A critical review of the biological literature on methods to size biological floc and determine wet floc density is also presented.

Rapid identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae by PCR amplification of ribosomal DNA spacer region.

Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the important human pathogens in clinical microbiology. A polymerase chain reaction assay was designed to detect and identify S. pneumoniae through amplification of the ribosomal DNA spacer regions between the pneumococcal 16S-23S ribosomal RNA genes. Thirty-two Streptococcus and non-Streptococcus strains were tested to verify the specificity of the assay, and only S. pneumoniae strains gave a positive reaction. This method is a powerful technique for the rapid identification of S. pneumoniae.
