Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCondoms-As Sources of Extracellular Enzyme Producing MicrobesMadhusmita Mishra, Poulomi Nandy, Sarvani Debsarma et al.Problem statement: Condoms are widely used birth control measures which are made of natural latex or synthetic materials like polyurethane or polyisoprene as matrix with lubricants added to make them ready to use commodities. Absence of sterilization method along with presence of lubricant like petroleum jelly (that are applied on the outer surface), prompted the investigators to look for microbes … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 May 2011 · 8,985 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFermentation Conditions of Lactobacilli for the Production of Lactose-Free Starter CultureMadina K. Imanbayeva, Zhaksylyk K. Masalimov et al.This research aims to determine the fermentation conditions and viability in a medium simulating the gastrointestinal tract and to examine the antagonistic potential of Lactobacillus acidophilus (Lb. acidophilus) and Lactobacillus rhamnosus (Lb. rhamnosus) in producing a lactose-free starter. Our study examined Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). The sources of Lb. acidophilus strains are camel milk (shubat), Lb. rhamnosus mare milk (koumiss), … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 2 · 7 Feb 2024 · 4,746 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPro-Inflammatory Cytokine (IL-1β and IL-6) Response in Goats Challenged with Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and its Immunogen Mycolic AcidsFaez Firdaus Jesse Abdullah, Odhah Mohd Naji, Mohd Azmi Mohd Lila et al.The causative agent of Caseous Lymphadenitis (CLA) is Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. A chronic disease of sheep and goats which is mainly characterized by suppurative abscesses in both superficial and visceral lymph nodes. There is paucity of information on the proinflammatory cytokine (IL-1β and IL-6) responses due to C. pseudotuberculosis and Mycolic Acid (MAs) inoculation in goats.
