ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 44(22), 8622–8628.

By: P. Saikaly n, K. Hicks n, M. Barlaz n  & F. Reyes  n

Contributors: P. Saikaly n, K. Hicks n, M. Barlaz n  & F. Los Reyes n 

MeSH headings : Bacillus / chemistry; Bacillus / growth & development; Biodegradation, Environmental; Biological Warfare Agents; Bioreactors / microbiology; Colony Count, Microbial; Construction Materials; Polymerase Chain Reaction; Refuse Disposal; Serratia marcescens / chemistry; Serratia marcescens / growth & development; Waste Products / analysis; Water Movements; Water Pollutants / analysis; Water Pollutants / chemistry
TL;DR: Results suggest that significant fractions of the spiked surrogates were strongly attached to SBD, and these results suggest that the suitability of landfills for the disposal of building decontamination residue (BDR) following a bioterrorist attack on a building is evaluated.

APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY, 73(20), 6557–6565.

By: P. Saikaly n, M. Barlaz n  & F. Reyes  n

Contributors: P. Saikaly n, M. Barlaz n  & F. De Los Reyes III

MeSH headings : Bacillus / genetics; Bacillus / isolation & purification; Bacillus / physiology; Benzothiazoles; Biological Warfare Agents; Construction Materials / microbiology; DNA, Bacterial / analysis; DNA, Bacterial / isolation & purification; DNA, Ribosomal Spacer / analysis; Diamines; Organic Chemicals; Polymerase Chain Reaction / methods; Quinolines; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S / genetics; RNA, Ribosomal, 23S / genetics; Rec A Recombinases / genetics; Sensitivity and Specificity; Serratia marcescens / genetics; Serratia marcescens / isolation & purification; Soil Microbiology; Spores, Bacterial / isolation & purification; Waste Disposal, Fluid / methods
TL;DR: The developed Q-PCR assays are highly specific and sensitive and can be used for monitoring the fate and transport of the BW surrogates B. atrophaeus and S. marcescens in building debris and leachate. (via Semantic Scholar)
