A "Did you know this strand" « Thread Started on May 22, 2006, 2:50pm »
I thought it would be (maybe) fun to write/post a snippet or fact about something that you might have just learned.....
Let's see, I will give it a go here:
Did you know:
1. This is for Jeff even though he likes to pick on me....:
Jeff, did you know that I have some hot info on that parasite worm you use to claim was Def. involved in our disease....the Maltiphea I think it was?????
here>>> A mixed microbial culture capable of metabolizing the explosive RDX (hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine) was obtained from soil enrichments under aerobic and nitrogen-limiting conditions. A bacterium, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia PB1, isolated from the culture used RDX as a sole source of nitrogen for growth. Three moles of nitrogen was used per mole of RDX, yielding a metabolite identified by mass spectroscopy and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance analysis as methylene-N-(hydroxymethyl)-hydroxylamine-N'-(hydroxymethyl)nitroamin e. The bacterium also used s-triazine as a sole source of nitrogen but not the structurally similar compounds octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine, cyanuric acid, and melamine. An inducible RDX-degrading activity was present in crude cell extracts.

Did you know that I think these Microorganisms that some say "escaped from a lab" actually did not......they escaped by the Governemnt doing their Aerosol Operations!
I'm dead serious you guys......see:
_______________________
Aerosolization of fine particles increases due to microbial contamination of metalworking fluids Wang, HX; Reponen, T; Li, W; Martuzevicius, D; Grinshpun, SA; Willeke, K Journal of Aerosol Science [J. Aerosol Sci.]. Vol. 36, no. 5-6, pp. 721-734. May 2005.
Aerosolization of microorganisms from metalworking fluids (MWFs) was studied using a laboratory-scale set-up simulating grinding operations. An optical particle counter (OPC), a condensation nucleus counter (CNC), an electrical low pressure impactor (ELPI), and a photometric aerosol mass monitor were used to measure the airborne particles and microorganisms aerosolized from MWFs. The tests were performed using a semi-synthetic MWF with and without bacterial contamination (Pseudomonas fluorescens). Microbial contamination of the MWF increased the number and mass concentrations of aerosolized particles by a factor of 2 (as measured by the OPC and the photometric aerosol mass monitor, respectively). At the same time, there was an up to 50-fold increase in the concentration of fine particles, as measured by the CNC. The results indicate that MWF mist may contain high concentrations of microbial fragments, which may not be detected by traditional microbial analysis methods, such as cultivation or microscopic counting.
Aerosolization of mist from metalworking fluids (MWFs) has been well characterized in previous studies. Much less is known about the aerosolization of microorganisms, although airborne microbial exposures at MWF sites have been associated with occupational respiratory symptoms and diseases. In this study, the effects of fluid type, microorganism concentration in the liquid, and the microbial species on the aerosolization of microorganisms from MWFs were tested. Three microorganisms were employed to represent different size and surface characteristics:Bacillus subtilisbacterial endospores (hydrophobic particles with aerodynamic diameter=0.9ìm),Pseudomonas fluorescensbacterial vegetative cells (hydrophilic, 0.8ìm), andPenicillium meliniifungal spores (hydrophobic, 3.1ìm). The testing was first performed using a Collison nebulizer to aerosolize microorganisms from three fluids: water, semisynthetic MWF, and soluble oil. No significant difference in the aerosolization ratio (microbial concentration in the air normalized to the microbial concentration in the liquid) was observed among the three fluids. For all tested microorganisms, the concentration in the air increased proportionally with the increase of the microbial concentration in the liquid. The aerosolization ratio ofB. subtilisendospores was greater than that ofP. fluorescenscells andP. meliniispores. To explore the aerosolization of microorganisms from MWFs under the conditions that are closer to industrial settings, the tests were conducted with a MWF simulator (a laboratory-scale setup simulating the mist generation during grinding process). Simulator tests showed the same trend with respect to microbial aerosolization as those performed with the Collison nebulizer. This was further confirmed by a separate experiment, in which the Collison nebulizer and the MWF simulator were tested with liquids containing polystyrene latex (PSL) particles. As a result, our study showed that hydrophobic microorganisms were easier to aerosolize from MWFs than hydrophilic microorganisms and that increasing microorganism size was likely to result in decreasing aerosolization ratio. _________________________

London,
I think because of the complexity of this whole thing, it probably is too. I know each year new species are brought about by all we do, but this seems to fit. Heck so much fits, but this in the way too of "keeping us looking nuts" and how it's been ignored, and wanting all to look like everything is status quo in America seems to fall right along with the real deal here.
Believe me, all this you've posted, really is over my head, not my line of knowledge at all, but you really might be on hot trail here.
What connection are the flukes to Anthrax? See I really mean it's over my head stuff.

Tonie,
I dunno what connection the Flukes are to anthrax>>>YET! B/c I just found that information (areosol operations) just today.......with hard-core pushing of myself with lack of sleep....I have been intensely on this since Friday.......well, actually for 9 months now, but focused on space and the F-16 jets since Friday.
I do not even know for sure that it is straight up Bacillus Anthracious either.....I know :
That - the University I stated above is the one that was in with our military/ clinton subsidy
thing in the mid 90's......TU Delt, which transforms into TNO, Prins Maurits Lab.....it has got something to do with the toxic chemicals as well as the microorganisms...like this morning I found out for sure of a new chemical that I knew nothing about was involved.....It was called Sax_____(forgot the name)......and I'm still hot on their trail.
As I stated over a month ago.....this is about a lot more than one would think.
It involves for sure: The parasitic infections of the Fish I spoke about in a strand I started last week!!!! (that made me feel good) and it relates to the chickens and swine as well.....
it has to do with space/ mars and an aircraft that can stay up for like 4-8 days at a time........with the oxygen sensors and all....
and the bovine too(see above post).......Tonie, I write on another forum where there is the infamous TAMTAM. Heard of him? WEll, he mentioned the F-16 jets to us on that forum a while back and I just followed thru.....yet I am still not finished with the research> no way.
Remember too: They dropped these things in aereosol raids but also dropped the Microorganism FRAGMENTS......AS WELL!!!!

Filamentous microorganisms and their fragments in indoor air--a review.
Gorny RL.
Department of Biohazards, Institute of Occupational Medicine and Environmental Health, Koscielna 13, 41-200 Sosnowiec, Poland. r.gorny@imp.sosnowiec.pl
The paper summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding the role of filamentous microorganisms (i.e., fungi and actinomycetes) and their submicrometer propagules (fragments) in formation of indoor bioaerosol. It discusses the importance of water damages in buildings and the role of humidity as a cause of fungal and actinomycetal contamination and subsequent deterioration of indoor spaces. The importance of the size of airborne microbial propagules for adverse health effects is broadly commented as well. Regarding the microbial fragments, the method of their release from the contaminated surfaces (including factors influencing their aerosolization, i.e., air velocity, colony structure, moisture conditions, vibration of the surface, time factor), modern measurement techniques and newly obtained results of the immunological reactivity of fragments are discussed. The novel ideas concerning the dynamic description of the release process of microbial propagules from their sources are also presented.

Well, I'm going to have to give it a rest.......too tired to function....
I hope you got some valualble info out of this strand.....there is more to it as well.....but all will have to wait a while....
I will leave this info here:
Actinomycetes ( SPORE FORMING) are a diverse group of gram-positive bacteria. They resemble fungi because they are adapted to life on solid surfaces (8) and they can produce mycelium and dry spores like most fungi (15). Actinomycete spores are known to be important air contaminants in occupational environments, such as agriculture and waste composting facilities (18, 26), and have recently gained special attention as indicators of mold problems in buildings (31). They do not belong to the normal microbial flora in indoor air but have been found in buildings suffering from moisture and mold problems (4, 25). In addition, airborne spores of several actinomycete species (e.g., Saccharopolyspora rectivirgula, Micropolyspora faeni, Thermoactinomyces vulgaris, and Streptomyces albus) have been related to the incidence of allergic alveolitis and other severe health effects (14, 19, 21, 28, 33). The cellular mechanism of the health effects caused by actinomycete spores was recently studied by Hirvonen et al. (11). Their study shows that Streptomyces spp. are able to stimulate lung macrophage reactions, which can lead to inflammation and tissue injury.
Actinomycete spores are formed either by subdivision of existing hyphae by fragmentation or swelling or by endogenous spore formation. The hyphae that subdivide into spores can be sheathless or have a sheath, which partly remains in the spores after fragmentation (35). This leads to three main spore types: arthrospores (subdivision of sheathed hypha), aleuriospores (subdivision of sheathless hypha), and endospores. The significance of the differences in the spore structure is not known, but these differences are expected to cause differences in the survival and airborne behavior of these spores.
Although actinomycete spores have been detected in air samples, their release into the air is not well understood. In nature, actinomycete spores can become airborne by mechanical disturbance of the substance they are growing on, e.g., by operation of an agricultural implement or by exposure to gusty wind (22). Only a few laboratory studies have been performed using airborne actinomycete spores. Lacey and Dutkiewicz (20) released actinomycete spores from contaminated hay by mechanical handling, whereas Madelin and Johnson (24) released actinomycete spores from culture media by air currents. Actinomycete spores are more difficult to aerosolize than fungal spores because they are smaller than fungal spores (30). More information needs to be gained on the aerodynamic diameter (da), agglomeration, and hygroscopicity of airborne actinomycete spores because these properties affect actinomycete behavior in air, in the human respiratory tract, in air-purifying filters, and in aerosol samplers.

Ant! Thanks....I had to take a powqer nap......So....may I please get your opinion of that word?
I mean I just found it today......I did not know if it had been around and you all had already heard of it and I was maybe just out of the loop.......
But, I bet this is it......and you know what else???? I have a releatively new , strong computer 64 bit deal and never have had a problem....but today.....right as I was finding the info on the Lab and micro organisms, etc. this morning, It shut me down!
I did the support tool test, etc., and all said my computer/ connectivity was fine....but it was not......they tried to give me a bug.....well, this happened 3 times!!! and, when I wrote this strand on the fiber-forum.....well, I had to redo it 3 times. I'd go to hit the submit button AND iT WOULD JUST VANISH.
tHEN WHEN i WAS ABLE TO FINALLY GET IT REPOSTED AND INCLUDED A HYPERLINK......WELL, THAT HYPERLINK openend up to a bizare off the wall article.......
"things that make you go hmmmmmm.........
So AntMan, Please tell me what you think......(if you have time)

I guarrantee you that thiswas not listed earlier......the Name/ tile of the following article was there...but it was empty.....Funny, Now, 4 hours later an article appears???????
here is part of it.....Now it says something totally different than any of the other articles- has reptiles listed...hmmmmm
and, check out the vacillating years that this was discovered....... _______________________________ Background: Morganella morganii is a gram-negative rod commonly found in the environment and in the intestinal tracts of humans, mammals, and reptiles as normal flora. Despite its wide distribution, it is an uncommon cause of community-acquired infection and is most often encountered in postoperative and other nosocomial settings. M morganii infections respond well to appropriate antibiotic therapy; however, its natural resistance to many beta-lactam antibiotics may lead to delays in proper treatment.
The genus Morganella belongs to the tribe Proteeae of the family Enterobacteriaceae. The Proteeae, which also include the genera Proteus and Providencia, are important opportunistic pathogens capable of causing a wide variety of nosocomial infections. Currently, Morganella contains only a single species, M morganii, with 2 subspecies, morganii and sibonii. M morganii previously was classified under the genus Proteus as Proteus morganii.
In the late 1930s, M morganii was identified as a cause of urinary tract infections. Anecdotal reports of nosocomial infections began to appear in the literature in the 1950s and 1960s. Tucci and Isenberg reported a cluster epidemic of M morganii infections occurring over a 3-month period at a general hospital in 1977. Of these infections, 61% were wound infections and 39% were urinary tract infections.
London with question says: >>>>Okay, are you sure bout those years Mr. Scientist Man? Your contemporaries seem to say something different re: the year....Why are you all so confused????
In 1984, McDermott reported 19 episodes of M morganii bacteremia in 18 patients during a 5.5-year period at a Veterans Administration hospital. Eleven of the episodes occurred in surgical patients. The most common source of bacteremia was postoperative wound infection, and most infections occurred in patients who had received recent therapy with a beta-lactam antibiotic. Other important epidemiological risk factors in these studies were the presence of diabetes mellitus or other serious underlying diseases and advanced age.
Pathophysiology: M morganii has been associated with urinary tract infections, sepsis, pneumonia, wound infections, musculoskeletal infections, central nervous system infections, pericarditis, chorioamnionitis, endophthalmitis, empyema, and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
Frequency:
In the US: M morganii is a rare cause of severe invasive disease. It accounts for less than 1% of nosocomial infections. M morganii most often occurs as an opportunistic pathogen in patients who are hospitalized, particularly those on antibiotic therapy.

London...I do love you ya know. I'm too sad today to do anything and have been here for at least five, six days. That isn't like me...nothing typical at all. I'm having a hard time kickin' it. Last night I was doing better than today but still not in a mood to fight...just playin' around. I know what I've got to do...it's still on my mind...it's still hangin' around on my plate.
