The bacteria were able to survive the low-temperature and low-pressure treatment conditions for at least a few hours.
White blood cells tailored for plague bacteria were able to detect as few as 50 bacteria within three minutes with a false positive rate of 0.4percentt.
By contrast, the designers of Bio2 so generously stocked its soils with humus that the hungry bacteria were able to outcompete its fledgling plants.
It has also been observed that biosurfactants from three isolated bacteria were able to support the condition up to 25 g/l salinity.
The denitrifying bacteria were able to treat wastewater at an inlet nitrite concentration of 75 mg NO2−-N/L with a removal efficiency of 92.9%.
Although none of the bacteria were able to attack Paraloid B72, the methodology developed can be applied to select other bacteria with this ability.
In the 1960's, as director of a government research unit that studied intestinal diseases, Dr. Anderson and others observed that strains of intestinal bacteria were able to survive exposure to the antibiotics intended to destroy them.
In these aggregates, the bacteria were able to evade one of the lung's defense mechanisms: a thin layer of flowing liquid that normally sweeps bacteria out of the air sacs.
Taken together, these results clearly showed that the anammox bacteria were able to conserve energy and grow from anaerobic ammonium oxidation coupled to NO reduction in the absence of nitrite.
