Rapid virus production and removal as measured with fluorescently labeled viruses as tracers

Article Abstract:

Research is presented on the development of a technique using fluorescently labeled viruses as tracers to monitor rates of virus degradation, production, and turnover of bacterial and phytoplankton populations in nearshore waters and to determine the pattern of microbial food webs.

Rapid detection of enteroviruses in small volumes of natural waters by real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR

Article Abstract:

Freshwater and seawater samples were tested and compared by a modified real time quantitative reverse transcriptase (qRT-PCR) parameters, the cellulose mixed-ester filter retention with the retention of more porous and freely flowing glass fiber filters. It shows a readily usable means to detect human enteroviruses in field samples from freshwater and marine environments.

Multitiered approach using quantitative PCR to track sources of fecal pollution affecting Santa Monica Bay, California

Article Abstract:

A multitiered approach using quantitative PCR to track sources of fecal pollution by bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Enterococcus spp. affecting Santa Monica Bay (SMB) was conducted. The tests revealed that sources of fecal indicator bacteria were ubiquitous and concentrations were high throughout Ballona Creek with no single tributary dominating fecal inputs and that it was as high at the head of the watershed as at the mouth prior to discharge into Santa Monica Bay.
