Journal ArticleDOI
Viability and Isolation of Marine Bacteria by Dilution Culture: Theory, Procedures, and Initial Results
TL;DR: Dilution culture, a method for growing the typical small bacteria from natural aquatic assemblages, has been developed and each of 11 experimental trials of the technique was successful, suggesting substantial population diversity and strategies for optimizing viability determinations and pure culture production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of Typical Marine Bacteria by Dilution Culture: Growth, Maintenance, and Characteristics of Isolates under Laboratory Conditions
Frits Schut,Egbert J. de Vries,Jan C. Gottschal,Betsy R. Robertson,Wim Harder,Rudolf A. Prins,D. K. Button +6 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that the cells in these 15 dilution cultures had adapted to growth under laboratory conditions after several months of nutrient deprivation prior to isolation and were potentially a very important part of picoplankton biomass in the areas investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical basis for whole-cell uptake kinetics: specific affinity, oligotrophic capacity, and the meaning of the michaelis constant.
TL;DR: This article corrects the article on p. 2037 in vol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrient Uptake by Microorganisms according to Kinetic Parameters from Theory as Related to Cytoarchitecture
TL;DR: Data suggest that both specific affinities and maximal velocities can be underestimated by protocols which interrupt nutrient flow prior to kinetic analysis, and that only the largest a°S values are compatible with growth in natural systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of the Biomasses of Small Bacteria at Low Concentrations in a Mixture of Species with Forward Light Scatter Measurements by Flow Cytometry
TL;DR: There was agreement between cell mass obtained by flow cytometry for various bacterial species and cell mass computed from Coulter Counter volume and buoyant density, which validated the standard curve and supported the assumption that cells were aligned in the flow stream.
