The Effects Of Certain Oral Bacteria On The In Vitro Growth Of Bacteroides Gingivalis, Steven G. Morrow Sep 1986

The Effects Of Certain Oral Bacteria On The In Vitro Growth Of Bacteroides Gingivalis, Steven G. Morrow

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The effect of nine gram positive and grain negative cocci and bacilli, which are indigenous to the oral cavity, on the in vitro growth of Bacteroides gingivalis was examined in this study. A pure culture of B. gingivalis is was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection. The nine oral test organisms were Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Corynebacteriurn hofmanii, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Branhamella catarrhalis, and Escherichia coli. The effect on the growth of B. gingivalis of the nine test organisms was evaluated on a solid medium by use of …


Restriction Analysis Of Bacteriophage, Ali Reza Mostaghimi Jun 1986

Restriction Analysis Of Bacteriophage, Ali Reza Mostaghimi

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A restriction map of DNA from bacteriophage P3-C1 for the endonucleases BamH I, Bgl II, EcoR I, Hind III, Sac I and Sca I is described in this study. The phage DNA was determined to be a linear double stranded molecule with a unit genomic length of 31 kb. After electrophoresis in 0.5% agarose gels, the undigested DNA appeared as three molecules of 31, 62 and 93 kb in length. The Hind III digestion pattern of the individual 31 kb molecule was identical to the 62 kb and 93 kb Hind III pattern. With all enzymes except Hind III, …
