Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Biodiversity Screening for Metal Accumulators from Mineral Ore Rich Site in Andhra Pradesh, IndiaAditya Kumar Sarkar, Susmita Roy, Ananya Pal et al.Problem statement: Since the site selected for screening was a source of magnetite, the objective of this study was to isolate some groups of magnetotactic bacteria and microbes with potential of metal accumulation. Approach: The culture based approach was used for the study. Pure isolates obtained were characterized on the basis of morphology, biochemical tests, physiology as well as at … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,553 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemoval and Recovery of Uranium using Microorganisms Isolated from North American Uranium DepositsTakehiko TsurutaSome attempts were made to remove and recover uranium that may be present in nuclear fuel effluents and mine tailings using microorganisms isolated from North American uranium deposits. To establish which microorganisms accumulate the most uranium, hundreds strains of microorganisms were screened. Of these strains of microorganisms tested, extremely high uranium accumulating ability was found in some bacteria isolated from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,292 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLIQUID AND VAPOUR PHASE ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUS ESSENTIAL OIL = SUSCEPTIBILITY OF SELECTED RESPIRATORY TRACT PATHOGENSBoukhatem Mohamed Nadjib, Ferhat Mohamed Amine, Kameli Abdelkrim et al.Essential Oils (EO) produced by medicinal plants have been traditionally used for respiratory tract infections and are used nowadays as ethical medicines for colds. Although several studies of Eucalyptus Globulus Labill. Essential Oil (EGEO) have been reported, there are no reports describing vapour activity of EGEO against bacterial respiratory tract pathogens. The aim of this study was to test the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 3 Sep 2014 · 13,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINHIBITORY ACTIVITY OF POTENTOX AGAINST DNA GYRASE OF ENTEROBACTERIACEAEManu Chaudhary, Anurag PayasiDNA gyrase, a type II topoisomerase catalyzes the supercoiling of relaxed closed circular DNA. In this report we evaluated the in vitro inhibitory effect of non antibiotic adjuvant compounds disodium edetate and sodium citrate against supercoiling activity of bacterial DNA gyrase. Further, we assessed the effect of different drugs alone and in combination with one or more adjuvants in overcoming … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2014 · 7,291 accessesView PDFCite
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 · 15,441 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Adhesin Encoding Genes in Escherichia coli Isolates from Omphalitis of ChicksReza Ghanbarpour, Mahmood SalehiProblem statement: Omphalitis is one of the most common causes of mortality in chicks during the first week after hatching. Escherichia coli strains are the most common isolated bacteria from omphalitis cases of chickens. Bacterial colonization in the host cells surfaces is a critical first step in the pathogenesis of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli isolates. Thus the current study was … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,560 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibacterial and Antioxidant Activities of Typhonium Flagelliforme (Lodd.) Blume TuberSyam Mohan, Ahmad Bustamam Abdul, Siddig Ibrahim Abdel Wahab et al.Problem Statement: Multiple drug resistance in human pathogenic micro organisms has developed due to indiscriminate use of modern antimicrobial drugs generally used in the management of infectious diseases.
