Approach: We performed a prospective surveillance study on the incidence of multi-drug resistant bacteria before (phase 1) and after (phase 2) the introduction of a 4th-generation cephalosporin in a non-teaching hospital. Results: There was … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlepH and Temperature Optimization of Several Bacterial Isolates from Mangrove Waters in the Mandeh Area to Produce Cellulase EnzymeFeskaharny Alamsjah, Dwiky Rahmadi Aswan, Anthoni AgustienEnzymes serve as vital biological catalysts, playing a crucial role in numerous industrial processes to accelerate specific biochemical reactions. In this study, we aimed to optimize cellulase enzyme production by investigating the influence of temperature and pH on four bacterial isolates: PUA-18, PUA-21, PUA-28, and PUA-38. The experiment was carried out in triplicates using a one-factor-at-a-time design, with pH and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 28 Mar 2024 · 6,476 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEnhanced Amylase Activity by Modulating Abiotic Factors and Enzyme Stability in the Thermophilic Bacterial IsolatesAnthoni Agustien, Denny Bendrianis, Feskaharny Alamsyah et al.Amylase is one of the enzymes that is widely used in bioprocess technology, amylase from different microbial sources also varies in form, so it is suitable for its specific application. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum temperature, pH, agitation, and stability of the amylase enzyme from two thermophilic bacterial isolates, TUA-07 and TUA-09. This study used … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 2 · 7 Feb 2024 · 5,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLeaf Surface Bacterial Colonization in Response to Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) Infestation of Brassica chinensis L.Shaon Raychaudhuri, Inga Mewis, Christian UlrichsProblem statement: Epiphytic population is an intrinsic part of the leaf surface. The effect of stress like insect infestation is not well understood. The aim of the study was to determine possible effects of insect infestation on bacteria community. Approach: The leaf surface microbial profile of Brassica rapa ssp. chinensis (L.) was investigated using a culture-dependent approach under normal and … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 May 2011 · 7,859 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDegradative Plasmid and Heavy Metal Resistance Plasmid Naturally Coexist in Phenol and Cyanide Assimilating BacteriaBahig El. Deeb, Abdullah D. AltalhiProblem statement: Heavy metals are known to be powerful inhibitors of xenobiotics biodegradation activities. Alleviation the inhibitory effect of these metals on the phenol biodegradation activities in presence of heavy metals resistant plasmid was investigated. Approach: Combination of genetic systems of degradation of xenobiotic compound and heavy metal resistance was one of the approaches to the creation of polyfunctional strains … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 11,984 accessesView PDFCite
