Sublethal Stress In Escherichia-Coli - Function Of Salinity, I. C. Anderson, Mw Rhodes, H Kator
Sublethal Stress In Escherichia-Coli - Function Of Salinity, I. C. Anderson, Mw Rhodes, H Kator
VIMS Articles
Sublethal stress in Escherichia coli was detected in various test media after exposure (in vitro) to seawater of various salinities. Stress was measured with an electrochemical detection technique and a,-galactosidase assay. Test media included EC medium, medium A-1, and tryptic soy broth modified to contain lactose for /?-galactosidase assay experiments. Stress was defined as the difference between a predicted electrochemical response time calculated for unstarved cells from a standard curve and the observed electrochemical response time for cells starved in seawater. The higher the salinity, the greater the stress for all test media examined. Stress was most pronounced in EC …

Description And Occurrence Of Vexillifer Larvae Of Echiodon (Pisces, Carapidae) In The Western North-Atlantic And Notes On Other Carapid Vexillifers, Je Olney, Df Markle

Five hundred twenty-two vexillifers of an unnamed species of the carapid genus Echiodon are reported from ichthyoplankton collections made in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Middle Atlantic Bight, Sargasso Sea, and Scotian Shelf. These are compared with 36 vexi1lifers and one juvenile of the only other known western Atlantic carapine, Campus ber- I/ludensis, as well as two small unidentified western Atlantic vexillifers, and eight eastern Pacific vexillifers of E. exsiliul/l. Vexillum placement relative to anal-fin origin, myomeres, and vertebral centra appears to be a useful character for separating Echiodon vexillifers from other western Atlantic carapids. The vexillum in Echiodon …
