Connery*, A.S. Thompson**, S. Patrick*** and M.J. Larkin*****The QUESTOR Centre & School of Biology and Biochemistry, The Queen's University of Belfast, David Keir Building, Stranmillis Road, Belfast BT9 5AG, United Kingdom. Department of Microbiology and Immunobiology, School of Medicine, The Queen's University of Belfast, Belfast. BT12 6BN, United Kingdom ABSTRACT Physiological studies on M. parvicella have been conducted to determine the rate of growth of this organism in pure culture. The organism displayed a doubling time of 128 days despite its profuse abundance in a local Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTW). An extensive survey has been ongoing since February 2000 into the extent of M. parvicella in the WWTW. A suite of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies has been developed to detect and quantify M. parvicella. eProduct: Buy this article for £24.00 (IWA MEMBER PRICE: £18.00) All prices include VAT.
