Hello again Michael, how's the OD probe work going?
E.coli is an intestinal organism (enteric coliform) - there are loads
of books/papers etc out there. Pseudomonas is probably the most
common soil bacterium, so again there is a lot of info about it.
For a start you could try
Palleroni, N J. - The Pseudomonas group. - Shildon : Meadowfield
Press, 1978. - (Patterns of
progress : microbiology series ; 15).
and
E. coli : friend or foe? / edited by H. Chart, M. Sussman, D.E.S.
Stewart-Tu. - Oxford : Blackwell
Science, 2000. - (The Society for Applied Microbiology
Symposium series ; no.29).
or
Cooke, E. Mary (Edith Mary). - Escherichia coli and man / [by] E.
Mary Cooke. Foreword by R. A.
Shooter. - Edinburgh : Churchill Livingstone, 1974.
plus I would expect a general search would yield tons of journal
papers
Good luck
Eoin.
