Negative enrichment procedure for isolation of Legionella pneumophila from seeded cooling tower water.

Abstract:

:A negative enrichment procedure was developed which was capable of isolating Legionella pneumophila directly from seeded air-conditioning cooling tower water onto laboratory media. This procedure was based on an 8-h incubation under conditions that were bactericidal to the indigenous water microflora but merely bacteriostatic to L. pneumophila.

  • Degradation of Pyridine by Micrococcus luteus Isolated from Soil.

    abstract::An organism capable of growth on pyridine was isolated from soil by enrichment culture techniques and identified as Micrococcus luteus. The organism oxidized pyridine for energy and released N contained in the pyridine ring as ammonium. The organism could not grow on mono- or disubstituted pyridinecarboxylic acids or ...
