Abstract:

La validité des contrôles microbiologiques, réalisés dans l'objectif d'assurer la sécurité sanitaire des aliments, nécessite notamment l'obtention de résultats d'analyse fiables. La fiabilité des résultats implique l'utilisation de méthodes validées, mises en œuvre par un laboratoire compétent. Les essais inter-laboratoires permettent de s'assurer, du moins en partie, du respect de ces deux conditions. Cependant, en raison de limites expérimentales, ces essais ne sont pas aussi largement pratiqués dans le domaine de la microbiologie des aliments qu'ils ne le sont dans d'autres domaines analyti

Abstract:

The main aim of this research was an attempt to clarify whether the protagonists of bacterial bone destruction were of a bodily origin as opposed to environmental contamination by soil bacteria and furthermore to demonstrate a time frame for such attack. It is hypothesised that bacteria from the gut commensal flora are responsible for micro-focal destruction (MFD) of bone postmortem that leaves distinctive tunnels. Microorganisms live with a person throughout their life and somewhat ironically after death persist to exploit this now nonoperational substrate. They continue to thrive and without

Abstract:

Whilst much is known about the physics and erosion of soil surfaces on a millimetre scale, little is known about the associated microbiology, particularly in temperate arable systems. The vast majority of research regarding microbial interactions at soil surfaces has concerned microbiotic crusts. However, such surface crusts take many years to form and then only in relatively undisturbed soil systems. Arable soil surfaces are subject to relatively extreme environmental conditions, potentially undergoing rapid changes in relation to temperature, water status and solar radiation compared to deep

A study was made of the interactions between the element silicon, mainly as silicic acid, and various microbial processes. The effect of silicon compounds on fungal growth was determined under both oligotrophic and nutrient-rich (copiotrophic) conditions. Mycelium of Aspergillus oryzae was grown from a spore inoculum added to ultra-pure water (upw) containing silicon compounds, but not in upw alone. Growth of other fungi also only occurred in upw when silicon compounds were added. Increased growth of fungi also followed the addition of silicon compounds to Czapek Dox medium. Silicic acid also

Microbial infection remains the main cause of AOM, however the causes of RAOM and COME are not fully understood.

The bare fallow plots have a significant reduction in soil carbon and microbial biomass. Bradyrhizobium has been shown by metagenomic studies on

Many microscopic dyes have been used with light microscopes to label microorganisms, but the protocol of each of these techniques limits either the type of organism targeted or the type of environment that can be studied.
