Experimental investigation on the iron impact upon some bacteria growth was carried out aiming to compare the effects of various sources of iron ions. Turbidimetric assay of the cell density in P. aeruginosa liquid culture media following the addition of iron aliquots delivered by iron salts and oxides was performed to get quantitative information on this human pathogen sensitivity to ferric and ferrous ions. The feature of iron scavenger of P. aeruginosa was revealed as resulted from the stimulatory influence of relatively low iron concentrations, for magnetite and ferrous sulfate while nonsignificant uptaken of iron from ferric chloride was found.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
