Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhenanthrene Contaminated Soil Biotreatment Using Slurry Phase BioreactorM. Arbabi, M. Sadeghi, Ch. AnyakoraProblem Statement: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are suspected toxins that accumulate in soils and sediments due to their insolubility in water and lack of volatility. Slurry-phase biological treatment is one of the innovative technologies that involve the controlled treatment of excavated soil in a bioreactor. Due to highly soil contamination from petroleum compounds in crude oil extraction and also oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,758 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethyltert-butyl Ether (MTBE) Degradation by a Microbial ConsortiumS. B. Mortazavi, A. Nikpey, A. Rezaee et al.Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is added to reformulated gasoline to meet the 1990 Clean Air Act directives. Widespread use of MTBE in gasoline has resulted in groundwater contamination. Because of its undesirable effects on drinking water and ecologically harmful effects, MTBE removal has become a public health and environmental concern. In this study, we have isolated a mixed bacterial culture … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,994 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Microbial Inoculants and the Impact of Soil Application on Rice Seedlings GrowthHayyan Ismaeil Al-Taweil, Mohammad Bin Osman, Aidil Abdul Hamid, Wan Mohtar Wan YussofProblem statement: The present study was undertaken to assess the Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) as carrier of Biofertilizer and microbial inoculants interaction. A study in Malaysia had shown a strain of Trichoderma viride and Bacillus megaterium were isolated from the soil. Questions were raised whether the tow inoculants compatible to be mixed in same carrier? It is important to develop … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,717 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioinhbition of Diarrhogenic Gram-negative Bacteria using the Tukey-HSD TestAdenike A.O. Ogunshe, J.O. OlaomiA variety of probiotics show promise as effective therapies in the control of diarrhoea, however, diets and geographical locations affect probiotic therapy. In this pilot study, four indigenous probiotic candidates, Lactobacillus acidophilus AAOOL4, L. reuteri AAOOCH1, L. plantarum AAOO25NN and L. delbrueckii AAOOT20 were investigated for their in vitro bactericidal effects on bacterial pathogens implicated in infantile diarrhoea using the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,211 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Control of Rice Blast (Magnaporthe oryzae) by use of Streptomyces sindeneusis isolate 263 in GreenhouseM. Ebrahimi Zarandi, G.H. Shahidi Bonjar, F. Padasht Dehkaei et al.Soil Actinomycetes particularly Streptomyces spp. have antagonistic activity against wide range of plant pathogens. In the recent decades they have attracted high interests as biocontrol agents. In search for finding such principles, in vitro suppression of Magnaporthe oryzae the causal agent of rice blast disease was studied by use of Streptomyces sindeneusis isolate 263 in greenhouse. Spray of rice seedling-leaves … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 11,492 accessesView PDF Cite
