Bacterial growth and biofilm production on pyrene
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Enrichment cultures inoculated with Arctic soil yielded a biofilm that grew on pyrene and phenanthrene. In a 60-day period, the biofilm degraded 20 microg ml(-1) pyrene or 39 microg ml(-1) phenanthrene. Single colonized pyrene crystals (approximately 1.5x0.75x0.35 mm) yielded 10(11) culturable heterotrophs and 10(5) biofilm propagules. Analysis of ribosomal intergenic spacers identified six phylotypes in a clone library from the pyrene biofilm. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the phylotypes, in order of decreasing abundance, are most closely related to members of the genera Polaromonas, Sphingomonas, Alcaligenes, Caulobacter and Variovorax. Two isolates capable of growth on pyrene, both Pseudomonas spp., were obtained from the pyrene enrichment culture. Growth of microbial biofilms on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons has not been reported previously, and this mode of growth may have important effects on substrate uptake.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
