The behaviour of and in bottled mineral water.

Microbial contamination of bottled water during the filling and capping procedure is a problem which should be avoided. The examination of the influence of carbon dioxide (CO) on bacterial growth of () and () in bottled mineral water was the aim of this study. Commercially available glass bottles with plastic screw caps filled with natural mineral water (without additional CO "still" (StMW) and with CO "sparkling" (SpMW) were obtained from a manufacturer in the province of Styria, Austria.

Concentrations of mesophilic bacteria in a poultry farm over two fattening periods focusing on the presence of staphylococci and enterococci.

The increasing animal numbers have a potential impact on the air quality of stables. The aim of this study was to assess the microbial load in the barn air from the day of entry of the chickens to the day of removal for slaughter. A total of 10 measurements in two fattening periods were conducted in a poultry farm with a capacity of 400 chickens in Styria, Austria.

Background concentrations of airborne, culturable fungi and dust particles in urban, rural and mountain regions.

Geographic location and meteorological factors can affect the content of bioaerosol concentrations. This study was conducted to determine the natural background concentrations of culturable fungal spores and dust particles in three different geographical areas. Focus was given to the dominant airborne genera Cladosporium, Penicillium, Aspergillus and the species Aspergillus fumigatus.

Dissolved Carbon Dioxide: The Lifespan of and in Bottled Carbonated Mineral Water.

During the process of mineral water production, many possible contamination settings can influence the quality of bottled water. Microbial contamination can originate from different sources, for example, the ambient air, the bottles, the caps, and from the bottling machine itself. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of three different carbon dioxide (CO) concentrations (3.

Corrigendum: Variation in accessory genes within the species complex delineates monophyletic members and simplifies coherent genotyping.
