Plastic encapsulation of stabilized escherichia coli and psedomonas putida
Article Abstract:
Escherichia coli and pseudomonas putida dried in hydroxyectoine or trehalose are shown to be highly resistant to the organic solvents chloroform and acetone, and consequently, they can be encapsulated in a viable form in solid plastic materials. Bacteria are recovered by rehydration after physical disruption of the plastic.

Two morphological types of cell appendages on a strongly adhesive bacterium, Acinetobacter sp. strain Tol 5
Article Abstract:
The cell appendages that mediate the adhesion of Acinetobacter sp. strain Tol 5 to a solid surface are described. The anchor found on the strongly adhesive bacterium Acinetobacter sp. strain Tol 5 has a striking morphology and directly mediates a long-distance interaction between the cell and the substratum.

Addition of aromatic substrates restores trichloroethylene degradation activity in pseudomonas putida F1
Article Abstract:
The addition of benzene and cumene, which are substrates of TDO, caused restoration of TCE degradation activity. The findings demonstrate a new type of restoration of TCE degradation that has not been previously reported.
