Epifluorescence microscope methods, namely BacLight, direct epifluorescence filter technique and Rhodamine 123, consistently underestimated plate bacterial counts in a 4-chlorophenol degrading consortium. Cells capable of passing through 0.2 mgrm filters, referred as `ultramicrocells', were found. Although cell counts were higher when traditional methods were used, BacLight and direct epifluorescence filter tec...
Fluorinated compounds are known to be more resistant to microbial degradation than other halogenated chemicals. A microbial consortium capable of aerobic biodegradation of fluorobenzene (FB) as the sole source of carbon and energy was isolated by selective enrichment from sediments collected in a drain near an industrial site. A combination of three microbial strains recovered from the enriched consortium was s...
