Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Thermostable α-Amylase Producing Natural Variant of Bacillus spp. Isolated From Soil in IranIraj Rasooli, Shakiba D. A. Astaneh, Hojjat Borna, Kamal A. BarchiniThermophilic processes appear more stable, rapid and less expensive and facilitate reactant activity and product recovery. Amylases have a quarter of the world enzyme market and thermostable a-amylases possess extensive commercial applications. Since little work has been done on strain isolation, growth and enzyme yield optimization, the level of thermophilic enzyme production remains relatively low. Therefore, large scale exploitation of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,902 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStudies On Bioemulsifier Production by Bacillus licheniformis PTCC 1595Gholamreza D. Noudeh, Mohammad H. Moshafi, Payam Khazaeli, Farideh AkefSurfactants are amphipathic molecules which reduce surface and interfacial tensions and widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and petroleum industries. Biosurfactants are the structurally diverse group of surface-active molecules synthesized by microorganisms. There are several advantages for biosurfactants in contrast with chemical surfactants, such as lower toxicity; higher biodegradability; better environmental compatibility; higher foaming; high selectivity and specific activity at … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,282 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Bacillus subtilis 'PB6' (ATCC - PTA 6737) on Clostridium difficile Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in Animal ModelsEric Peys, Jerry Varghese, Ponusami Suresh et al.The administration of probiotic bacteria is emerging as a potential means of preventing the onset or recurrence of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) and of attenuating inflammatory activity and preventing relapses in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We evaluated the efficacy of Bacillus subtilis 'PB6' (ATCC - PTA 6737) in a hamster model of antibiotic-induced CDAD and in a rat model … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,097 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleControl of Anthracnose Caused by Colletotrichum musae on Curcuma alismatifolia Gagnep. Using Antagonistic Bacillus spp.Supuk Mahadtanapuk, Mondhon Sanguansermsri, Robert W. Cutler et al.Over 400 bacterial strains, isolated from leaf surfaces of Curcuma alismatifolia Gagnep. and hot springs in the Chiang Mai province of northern Thailand, were screened in vitro for antagonistic activity against Colletotrichum musae, an anthracnose fungus. Three isolates provided greater than 75% growth inhibition of the fungus in vitro and were identified as Bacillus licheniformis, B. amyloliquefaciens and B. subtilis. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 9,005 accessesView PDFCite
