Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification and Characterization of Antibiotic-Producing Actinomycetes IsolatesMeera Kumari, Bat-Erdene Myagmarjav, Birendra Prasad, Madhusudan ChoudharyActinomycetes are a gram-positive, filamentous subgroup of bacteria most known for antibiotic production. In fact, most of the antibiotics available today have originated from actinomycetes, namely from the genus Streptomyces. Novel bacteria with antimicrobial activities have been discovered from bacterial screen studies for decades and there is still much more yet to be unearthed. One hundred seventy five strains of … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 25 Jun 2013 · 15,437 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Antifungal Bacteriocin-Synthesizing Strains of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis as the Perspective Biopreservatives for Protection of Raw Smoked SausagesL.G. Stoyanova, E.A. Ustyugova, T.D. Sultimova et al.Problem statement: Screening for the effective bacteriocin-synthesizing strains of Lactococcus lactis as the perspective biopreservatives was performed. We used a raw milk and dairy products from different climatic regions as well as from powerful drinks of mixed lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation: kurunga, kumiss and Iranian “Dough”, that were widely used by local population to prevent diseases. Approach: The special … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 15 Dec 2010 · 9,683 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChitinolytic Bacteria Isolated from Chili Rhizosphere: Chitinase Characterization and Its Application as Biocontrol for Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Genn.)Nisa Rachmania Mubarik, Irni Mahagiani, Amaryllis Anindyaputri et al.Problem statement: Chitin, a common constituent of insect exoskeleton, could be hydrolyzed by chitinase. The research was conducted to screen chitinolytic rhizobacteria isolated from rhizosphere of chilli pepper and to determine their chitinase activity in degrading chitin of whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Genn. (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). Whitefly is recognized as an important pest on many crops including chilli pepper. Approach: Screening and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 11 Nov 2010 · 18,538 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Characterization of Thermophilic Cellulase-Producing Bacteria from Empty Fruit Bunches-Palm Oil Mill Effluent CompostAzhari Samsu Baharuddin, Mohamad Nafis Abd Razak, Lim Siong Hock et al.Problems statement: Lack of information on locally isolated cellulase-producing bacterium in thermophilic compost using a mixture of Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) and Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) as composting materials. Approach: The isolation of microbes from compost heap was conducted at day 7 of composting process where the mixture of composting materials consisted of 45.8% cellulose, 17.1% hemicellulose and 28.3% … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 12,155 accessesView PDF Cite

"Pyramids" Indian fig area located in the northeastern State of Mexico has been an important Indianfig area in the country, with 15810 ha, where a phytoplasma has been consistently present in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,729 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Characterization of a Phytoplasma Associated with Coconut Yellow Decline (CYD) in MalaysiaN. Nejat, K. Sijam, S. N.A. Abdullah et al.Problem statement: Molecular methods have been used to detect phytoplasma in Malayan Red Dwarf (MRD) ecotype of coconut for the first time in Malaysia. Detect phytoplasma from coconut showing yellowing symptoms by nested PCR and Classify phytoplasma associated with disease of coconut palms, based on analysis of 16S rRNA gene operon sequences and virtual RFLP. Approach: Twenty MRD symptomatic palms … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,919 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDelftia Acidovorans Bacteremia in an Intravenous Drug AbuserRocco J. Perla, Eric L. KnutsonDelftia acidovorans (Comamonas acidovorans) is an aerobic, non-fastidious, non-fermentative gram-negative bacillus classified in the Pseudomonas rRNA homology group III that is generally regarded as an environmental organism found in soil and water and as a non-pathogen. We report the first case of systemic D. acidovorans infection in a patient without a long-term immunosuppressive condition where D. acidovorans has been recovered … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,307 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDiversity of Culturable Halophilic Archaea and Bacteria from Chott Tinsilt and El Malah Salt-Lake in AlgeriaAkmoussi-Toumi Siham, Khemili-Talbi Souad, Kebbouche-Gana Salima et al.At the limits of life, hyper-saline aquatic ecosystems; Chott and Sebkha are a model of choice of extreme environments, housing a halophilic microflora that had to adapt to these conditions. In Algeria, these ecosystems are poorly studied. However, our study was carried out on the waters of Chott Tinsilt and Sebkha El Malah. The study of this microflora revealed the … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2020 · 7,536 accessesView PDF Cite
