Papers
Survival and activity of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli in tropical freshwater
TL;DR: The survival of Salmonella typhimurium LT2 and Escherichia coli was studied in situ in a tropical rain forest watershed and it would seem to be unsuitable as an indicator of recent faecal contamination in tropical waters.

Regeneration of the enteric nervous system in the sea cucumber Holothuria glaberrima.
José E. García-Arrarás,Lucy Díaz-Miranda,Irma I. Torres,Sharon File,L. Jimenez,Katherine Rivera‐Bermudez,Edgardo J. Arroyo,William Cruz +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the enteric nervous system of this echinoderm regenerates after evisceration and that in 3–5 weeks the regenerated system is virtually identical to that of noneviscerated animals.

The enteric nervous system of echinoderms: unexpected complexity revealed by neurochemical analysis
TL;DR: Information is gathered on the nervous components of the digestive tract of echinoderms and an unexpected level of complexity is demonstrated in terms of neurons, nerve plexi, their location and neurochemistry.

Enumeration and identification of bacteria from environmental samples using nucleic acid probes.
Terry C. Hazen,L. Jimenez +1 more
TL;DR: DNA probes are useful for both identification and enumeration of specific bacteria and functional groups of bacteria in environmental samples and promise to be major sources of information about the relatedness of bacteria and groups ofacteria in the environment.

Survival and activity ofStreptococcus faecalis andEscherichia coli in tropical freshwater.
TL;DR: Both E. coli and S. faecalis survived and remained active for more than 5 days; consequently, both would seem to be unsuitable as indicators of recent fecal contamination in tropical waters.
