Detection methods for Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus which included the culture based approach with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) confirmation, PCR detection without enrichment and PCR with a pre-enrichment were developed and their performance evaluated. PCR assays targeted the SodB (V. cholerae species), Flae (V. parahaemolyticus species), 16S rRNA (Vibrio and Enterobacteriacea species) genes (Multiplex 1) and V. cholerae O1 and V. cholerae O139 rfb genes, ctxA (cholera toxin) gene and 16S rRNA gene (Multiplex 2). These methods were used to determine the occurrence of selected Vibrios in source water as well as in household container-stored water. The combination of filtration, enrichment and PCR method provided a sensitive and specific method for the detection of selected Vibrios in water samples. The PCR with a pre-enrichment method detected as few as 4–10 cfu/100 mL of selected Vibrios and PCR detection without the enrichment method detected as few as 40–100 cfu/100 mL of selected Vibrios. The inclusion of an enrichment period allows detection of culturable bacteria. As an application of the developed methods, V. cholerae and V. parahaemolyticus were detected in the source water used by the population and in the water-storage containers. The results indicate that Vibrio species in the containers could have originated from the source water and survive in biofilms inside the containers.

Nutritionally exacting mutants of Cochliobolus sativus, a fungus with multinucleate, multicellular spores, were readily isolated by a filtration enrichment method. The method is similar to one described by Fries and is based upon the differential growth of auxotrophs and prototrophs in minimal medium. Most of the prototrophic propagules were removed by filtration. Propagules in the filtrate were concentrated by centrifugation, plated on complete medium, and subsequently tested for nutritional requirements.In comparative studies on four methods of isolation, namely, total isolation, mass transfer; total isolation, hyphal-tip transfer; filtration enrichment, mass transfer; and filtration enrichment, hyphal-tip transfer, the yield of auxotrophic mutants was 0, 0.04, 1.16, and 1.83%, respectively.

Abstract A new separation and preconcentration method based on adsorption on a cellulose acetate membrane filter and elution with ethanol was established for the UV-Vis spectrophotometric determination of Sudan blue II. Various analytical parameters such as pH of working media, flow rates of solutions, and sample volumes were optimized. Matrix effects of concomitants were investigated for the quantitative recovery values of Sudan blue II. The preconcentration factor was200. LOD was calculated as 0.96 μg/L. RSD was5.1%. The optimized procedure was applied to the spectrophotometric determination of Sudan blue II in river and industrial wastewater samples from oil and dye products.

The isolation of genetic markers, like drug resistance and auxotrophy, is a laborious but important step in genetic research. The isolation of auxotrophic mutants of Trichoderma harzianum using the filtration enrichment technique was more effective than using the total isolation technique. Most of 12 auxotrophic mutants exhibited similar growth rate and higher sporulation when compared with the wild type, but only two mutants (TWS-410 and TW5-523) could grow in 500µg/L of benomyl.
