Careful media filtration prior to use is an important part of a mycoplasma contamination
prevention program. This study was conducted to increase our knowledge of factors that …

Bacillus strain JF-2 (ATCC 39307) is a halotolerant, biosurfactant-producing bacterium that
was initially described as a member of the species Bacillus licheniformis based on a limited …

Bacillus mojavensis strains JF-2 (ATCC 39307), ROB2, and ABO21191 T and Bacillus subtilis
strains 168 (ATCC 23857) and ATCC 12332 required four deoxyribonucleosides or DNA …

Bacterial penetration of integral sterilizing-grade 0.2 μm rated filters, although rare, is not a
new phenomenon in the biopharmaceutical industry. It is recognized by both the Parenteral …

Compost centers are one of many environments that produce airborne microorganisms. The
objective of this study was to compare the bacterial, fungal, and acti-nomycete …

Mycoplasma are bacteria that can penetrate 0.2 and 0.22 μm rated sterilizing-grade filters
and even some 0.1 μm rated filters. Primary applications for mycoplasma filtration include …

Approximately 97% of filter validation tests result in the demonstration of absolute retention
of the test bacteria, and thus sterile filter validation failure is rare. However, while …

Adjuvants are substances added to vaccine formulations to enhance, accelerate, and prolong
the immune response to a vaccine. Despite these notable benefits, vaccine adjuvants also …

The effectiveness of a bio-surfactant-based microbial enhanced oil recovery process was
studied. A series of laboratory experiments showed that bio-surfactant produced by the …

We cultured A. laidlawii (ATCC 23206) in mycoplasma broth from frozen stock. The broth
consisted of mycoplasma broth base (20 g/L), yeast extract (25 g/L), and 100 mL/L of heat …
