Four types of bacteria, two fluorescent pseudomonads, one aeromonad (Aeromonas hydrophila anaerogens) and one coccus (Micrococcus varians) were isolated from skin lesions of airbreathing fishes. The bacterial culture in mixed condition induced severe ulcers in healthy Anabas testudineus. Pure cultures of each of two pseudomonads and an aeromonad separated from the mixture induced superficial ulcer formation.

AbstractThis paper reports an experimental approach to deposit flexible diamond-like carbon (DLC) films on hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) with plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition and an analytical model to describe the self-segmentation mechanism of the DLC films. By making use of the substantial thermal expansion mismatch between the DLC films and the rubber substrate, a dense network of cracks forms in the DLC films and contributes to flexibility. The size of the microsegments can be controlled by tuning the temperature variation of the substrate during deposition through varying the substrate bias voltage. The formation mechanism of the crack network and its effect on the flexibility of DLC films coated on rubber are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
