Gram-positive, catalase-positive cocci were isolated from spoiled and unspoiled soybean oil meal. Of 129 isolates, 123 were allotted to the staphylococci and only four were identified as Micrococcus varians. S. xylosus dominated among the staphylococci accounting for 95% of these organisms. The strains identified as S. cohnii, S. saprophyticus and Staphylococcus sp., as well as M. varians, were found in spoiled material only. It was assumed that infection of the material had taken place during storage, as staphylococci and micrococci were neither present in the soybean nor in the freshly produced soybean oil meal.
Contamination with these microorganisms was rather high, as viable counts of 104 to 107/g were ascertained in 70% of the unspoiled stored soybean oil meal. In contrast, the typical residual bacterial flora (bacilli and Gram-positive rod bacteria) surpassed values of 104/g in only a few cases.
The successful colonization of soybean oil meal with staphylococci, particularly S. xylosus, may be explained by the growth of these facultative anareobic organisms at a rather low water activity and by their capability to utilize proteins and lipids. Staphylococci isolated from soybean oil meal exhibit lipase and protease activity more frequently than do corresponding isolates from human and animal skin.
A comparison of strains from spoiled and unspoiled oil meal revealed that in general a higher percentage of isolates from heated material can grow at a higher temperature (up to 42°C) and evidence proteolytic activity. The colony counts of spoiled soybean oil meal is usually higher (39% of the samples ≧ 107/g) than that of unspoiled meal (2% of the samples). Lower colony counts found in spoiled samples (36% contain 103–105/g) may be due to overheating the material.

Four French bottled mineral waters (A, B, C and D) were quantitatively and qualitatively microbiologically investigated, i. e. 3 bottles of each charge 1 and 3 weeks after bottling.
The maximum number of colony-forming units was obtained with the surface colony count method and incubation for 21 days at + 20°C, not with the pour plate method officially prescribed in different countries. Plate count agar diluted 10 fold and «Collins» agar produced higher colony counts than did non-diluted plate count agar. The highest colony counts were observed 1 week after bottling, varying from 36,000 to 260,000 CFU per ml. 3 weeks after bottling these figures were 60 to 75 % lower, varying from 18,000 to 85,000 counts per ml.
1,200 statistically representative colonies were isolated on each of 3 different culture media for the rough differentiation of the bacterial flora and its distribution characteristics in the four waters. Five different groups could then be distinguished: 1) Pseudomonas (20 to 50% of the flora), 2) the group of «Acinetobacter-Alcaligenes-Moraxella» (15 to 45%), 3) the group of gram-negative, yellow pigmented bacteria (6 to 44%), 4) gram-negative and gram-variable cocci and 5) a group of bacteria not having been able to be cultivated upon the first isolation (both 5 to 10%).
A detailed differentiation of the group of gram-negative, yellow pigmented bacteria was made using 35 biochemical and physiological tests. The very heterogenic group of 248 strains could be subdivided into 4 groups according to two main characteristics: oxidase reaction and mobility. The first group (I), comprising 42 oxidase-positive strains being either immobile (sub-group I A) or mobile only by gliding (sub-group I B), showed characteristics similar to those of Cytophaga-Flexibacter. Group II, comprising 52 oxidase-positive immobile strains, corresponded to the description of F. capsulatum. Group III, formed of 35 strains and divided into 2 sub-groups on the basis of the ability to grow at + 37°C or not, was composed of oxidase-positive and mobile strains. Group IV, more heterogenic and containing 129 oxidase-positive and mobile strains, was divided into 4 sub-groups. With the exception of group I, the GC-content of all strains were within the range of 60 to 67 mol%. None of the strains grew at + 42°C, the majority of them being very slow to slow to grow at + 20°C.

A novel quantitative microbiological assay is presented. This is based on the finding that the rate of ampicillin-induced lysis of cultures of an auxotrophic E. coli mutant depends on the concentration of the required growth factor the mutant is defective for.
Contrary to the usual methods the new procedure is less time consuming and needs no more than 60 to 90 minutes, there is no requirement for sterile conditions. It was possible to estimate amounts of about 0.5 μg/ml in raw extracts of biological material.

Bacteria growing on 2H-pyridazin-3-one as sole carbon source could be isolated from garden soil. The bacteria could be identified as a mycobacterium. The GC-content of the DNA was determined as 61,4%. Typical mycobactins could be isolated and identified. With several methods no intermediate of the degradative pathway could be detected.
Growth studies with different compounds showing structural analogy to 2H-pyridazin-3-one suggest, that the mycobacterium strain exhibits a high specificity towards this compound.

The degradation of glucose to methane and CO2 by mixed cultures of Escherichia coli, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans and methanogens was investigated. Glucose degradation in mixed cultures of E. coli with H2: CO2-fermenting and formate-fermenting methanogens resulted in acetate, ethanol, CO2 and methane formation. When Methanosarcina barkeri was combined with E. coli, CO2, methane and — due to incomplete hydrogen transfer — ethanol were produced.
No methane was generated in mixed cultures of B. bifidum and Methanobrevibacter arboriphilus, and only little of this compound was produced from formate in mixed cultures of B. bifidum and Methanobrevib acter smithii or Methanobacterium formicicum. The combination of B. bifidum and M. barkeri produced methane from acetate, but ethanol and formate could not be degraded.
In mixed cultures of B. bifidum, D. desulfuricans and H2: CO2-utilizing as well as formate-fermenting methanogens, CO2, methane, acetate and little ethanol was formed. A virtually complete conversion of glucose to methane and CO2 took place when B. bifidum, D. desulfuricans and M. barkeri were members of the consortium.

The effect of the phenylurea herbicides linuron, monolinuron, metobromuron, and the phenoxyalkanoic acid herbicides 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T as well as their corresponding aromatic metabolites 3,4-dichloro-, 4-chloro-, 4-bromoaniline, 2,4-dichloro-, and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol on the agglutination of Rhizobium trifolii was tested with a trifoliin containing seed extract of white clover (Trifolium repens).
The herbicides tested did not effect the agglutination up to concentrations as high as their water solubility. However, the chloro-or bromoanilines showed an inhibitory effect on agglutination at concentrations ranging from 16 to 25 mM. 2,4-Dichloro- and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol inhibited the agglutination even in concentrations of 2 and 1 mM, respectively. All metabolites were effective after preincubation of the seed extract, since they damaged the glycoprotein trifoliin. The compounds did not influence the lectin-binding polysaccharide formation at the cell surface. HgCl2 treated cells, cells harvested in the stationary and log phase or grown in the presence of 0.2 mM 2,4-dichlorophenol and 0.1 mM 2,4,5-trichlorophenol, respectively, agglutinated without any differences in the test system used.
以含有三叶草种子提取物的白三叶草(Trifolium repens)为原料,研究了苯脲类除草剂linuron、monolinuron、metobromuron和苯氧烷酸类除草剂2,4-d和2,4,5-t及其芳香代谢物3,4-二氯-、4-氯-、4-溴苯胺、2,4-二氯-和2,4,5-三氯苯酚对三叶草根瘤菌的凝集作用。所测试的除草剂对凝集的影响并没有达到其水溶性的浓度。然而,氯苯胺和溴苯胺在16 ~ 25 mM的浓度范围内对凝集有抑制作用,2,4-二氯和2,4,5-三氯苯酚在2和1 mM的浓度范围内对凝集也有抑制作用。所有代谢物在种子提取物预孵育后都有效,因为它们破坏了糖蛋白三叶磷脂。这些化合物不影响细胞表面凝集素结合多糖的形成。HgCl2处理的细胞,在固定期和对数期收获的细胞,或分别在0.2 mM 2,4-二氯苯酚和0.1 mM 2,4,5-三氯苯酚存在下生长的细胞,在使用的测试系统中没有任何差异。

The growth factor requirements of ninety-five Gluconobacter strains are examined: 58% of them require pantothenic acid only, 28% require pantothenic acid and nicotinic acid and 6% require pantothenic acid, nicotinic acid and thiamin. Growth factor requirements are strain-specific and are not correlated with the present subdivisions within the genus.

Two hundred and seventy-three strains of coryneform bacteria mainly isolated from activated sludge were tested for 135 physiological characters. In addition, one hundred and ten named reference strains were included for comparison. The data were subjected to numerical analysis. The results showed that the strains clustered into 5 groups, each of which consisted of several subgroups. The isolates were identified as members of the genera Arthrobacter, Nocardia, Mycobacterium, Rhodococcus, Microbacterium, Cellulomonas, Curtobacterium and Corynebacterium. The bacterial flora of the activated sludge from dairy sewage mainly consisted of strains of the genera Corynebacterium, Microbacterium and Rbodococcus. That of sludge from municipal sewage predominantly comprised strains of the genera Arthrobacter, Corynebacterium and Microbacterium. Twenty-five of the tests used were found to be particularly useful in discriminating between the main clusters. When the strains were retested and classified on the basis of these tests, the resultant groupings were very similar to those obtained in the full analysis.

Phenotypical characterization of 50 strains of the genus Erwinia including the species Enterobacter agglomerans on the basis of 80 conventional characters does not enable an unequivocal differentiation of the various Erwinia strains.
With respect to respiratory quinones and fumarate metabolism, which are considered to be criteria of great taxonomic significance, the Erwinia/Enterobacter species could be devided into four groups.
The members of groups 1 and 2, containing a soluble NADH-fumarate reductase or no and only ubiquinone do not represent the “true” genus Erwinia. These groups are different from the family Enterobacteraceae and may characterize a new taxon.
The homogeneity of group 1 was confirmed by DNA-DNA hybridization of some strains with the type strain of Enterobacter agglomerans (NCTC 9381).
The members of groups 3 and 4, which contain both ubiquinone and menaquinone and a membrane-bound NADH-fumarate reductase resp. NAD-fumarate oxidase, resemble the members of the family Enterobacteraceae including the genus Pectobacterium with respect to these criteria.
