Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDiversity 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 · 7,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStudy of Ageratum conyzoides L. (Asteraceae) Phytochemical Composition as Quorum-sensing Inhibitors to Combat Antibiotic-resistant Bacterial InfectionsEli Compaoré, Lassané Ouedraogo, Ablassé Rouamba et al.The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections has intensified the search for plant-derived quorum-sensing (QS) inhibitors as alternative therapeutic strategies. Ageratum conyzoides L. has a long history of traditional use as an antimicrobial agent against multidrug-resistant pathogens, yet the phytochemical basis of its QS-inhibitory activity remains incompletely characterized. This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical composition of A. conyzoides and evaluate … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2026 · 1,779 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAutomated vs. Manual Counting of Bacterial Colonies Using Hough Circle Transform: A Comparative Study for E. coli, S.aureus, and P.aeruginosaAreesha Rehman, Zikria Saleem, Jarrar Amjad et al.Bacterial colony enumeration is an essential stage in microbiological research, allowing susceptibility to antibiotics assessment, monitoring of the environment, and clinical diagnostics. This research compares automated bacterial colony counting using the Hough Circle Transform to traditional manual counting methods. Objectives include evaluating counting accuracy and efficiency. This study adopted the image processing approach to colonies of E. coli, S. aureus, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 10 · 7 Dec 2025 · 2,397 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBrevibacillus Thermoruber 9X-GLC, Bacteria Isolated from Hot Compost, Producer of a Beta-Glucosidase Resistant to Glucose InhibitionAlejandro Sosa-Peinado, María Eugenia Hidalgo-Lara, Miguel Ángel Plascencia-Espinosa et al.The thermotolerant strain Brevibacillus thermoruber 9X-GLC produces large amounts of β-D-glucosidase and cellobiohydrolase when grown on cellobiose and avicel. 9X-GLC was isolated from hot compost of sugarcane bagasse and filter mud and selected for its high enzymatic activity from a Bacilli collection of 77 isolates from soils and compost. Culture supernatants and ultrafiltered concentrates from shaken flask cultures of 9X-GLC … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 20 Oct 2017 · 8,156 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effect of Lactobacillus Plantarum and Bacterial Peptidoglycan on the Growth of Mouse Tumors in vivo and in vitroArpa Aintablian, Dalal F. Jaber, Mary Ann Jallad, Alexander M. AbdelnoorSome members of the microbiota have been shown to be effective strategies for inhibiting tumor growth through stimulation of host anti-tumor immune responses. Anti-tumor immune effects were observed when Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp), a member of the gut microbiota, was used to treat colorectal cancer in mice. Moreover, constituents of bacteria, including peptidoglycan (PG), have been shown to exhibit tumoricidal effects. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2017 · 8,451 accessesView PDFCite
