A resource guide to L.M. Montgomery

Abstract

Purpose -This paper aims to serve as an introduction to the scholarly study of L.M. Montgomery through a selection of annotated resources. Design/methodology/approach -Items were located using library catalogs, databases, academic reviews, bibliographies, and online searches. Items were evaluated through inspection and consulting academic reviews. Findings -The body of academic resources and scholarship on Montgomery studies continues to expand. Resources can be found in the form of print bibliographies, biographies, databases, collected essays, edited papers, monographs, periodicals, reference works, and web resources. Originality/value -While other bibliographic lists of works by or about L.M. Montgomery exist, this resource guide provides a starting point for the scholarly study of Montgomery through a selective introduction and explanation of key secondary sources. This guide may also serve as a tool for building academic library collections.

Optimization of Thermo-Alkali Stable Amylase Production and Biomass Yield from Bacillus sp. Under Submerged Cultivation

“…at slightly neutral pH. A change in the pH of the medium alters the ionization of nutrient molecules and reduces their availability to the microorganisms that results in reduction of their metabolic activity [21]. When the pH of the medium is altered, it results in the reduction of amylase activity due to the denaturation of proteins.…”

Proximate, Phytochemical and Antibacterial Analysis of <i>Persea americana</i> Obtained from Nigeria

“…This was carried out using the modified method of Willey et al [33]. In this process, a thin smear of the culture was prepared on a clean grease free slide, air dried and heat fixed.…”

“…This was carried out using the method described in Willey et al [33]. The medium used was semi-solid agar.…”

Influence of Environmental Factors on Bacterial Biofilm Formation in the Food Industry: A Review

“…In the absence of O 2 a microorganism often uses an oxidized endogenous organic molecule as an electron acceptor to reoxidize the NADH formed during glycolysis (fermentation). However, the amount of energy obtained by aerobic respiration is higher than by fermentation (Willey et al, 2011). Therefore, oxygen availability determines bacterial energy production, with a potential impact in biofilm formation.…”

“…Moreover, mature biofilms contain concentration gradients of nutrients and metabolic products, being oxygen the best studied and most familiar example. Oxygen serves as the terminal electron acceptor for the electron-transport chain in aerobic respiration (Willey et al, 2011). In the absence of O 2 a microorganism often uses an oxidized endogenous organic molecule as an electron acceptor to reoxidize the NADH formed during glycolysis (fermentation).…”
