A Profile Of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria In The James River, Keith Allen Boisvert
A Profile Of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria In The James River, Keith Allen Boisvert
Master's Theses
Spatial and temporal variability in the antibiotic resistance of bacterial assemblages in the lower portion of the James River was examined. The antibiotic resistance of culturable coliforms was compared to the resistance in the microbial community. Antibiotic resistance was determined via colony formation on media containing antibiotics. The antibiotics ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin and tetracycline were used at concentrations ranging from 10 to 500 ug/ml. Statistically significant differences in the mean number of antibiotic resistant isolates were observed among both sample sites and dates. The sampling site at river mile 99 just below Richmond showed both increased antibiotic resistance and bacterial …
Semipermeable Membrane Devices Are Effective Surrogates Of Fish In Concentrating Polychlorinated Biphenyls, Christopher Gardner Collins
Semipermeable Membrane Devices Are Effective Surrogates Of Fish In Concentrating Polychlorinated Biphenyls, Christopher Gardner Collins
Master's Theses
This study examined the effectiveness of Semipermeable Membrane Devices (SPMDs) as surrogates for fish in concentrating polychlorinated biphenyls. Golden shiners (Notemigonus crysolucas) and SPMDs were exposed to three different concentrations (0.5, 1.5, and 3.0ppm) of Aroclor 1254 for 1, 3, and 5 days under laboratory conditions. Concentrations of Aroclor 1254 were measured in the SPMDs and fish tissue using extraction techniques and gas chromatography. The concentrations of PCB in SPMDs and N. crysolucas were positively correlated. This relationship compared favorably with data from other studies. The relationship between the concentration of PCB in SPMDs and tissue offish and …
