Evaluation of Culture Techniques for Isolation of Pseudomonas pseudomallei from Soil

Isolation and identification of Burkholderia pseudomallei from soil using selective culture techniques and the polymerase chain reaction.

An environmental soil survey to detect Burkholderia pseudomallei was performed during the dry and wet seasons in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. Soil was sampled at regular intervals during a 15-month period at different depths from areas which were representative of the local, soil environment. Selective culture techniques using Ashdown's and Galimand and Dodin's methods and the polymer...

Evaluation of two remediation techniques for the removal of silica from contaminated soil, Azandarian region, Iran

Background and Objective: Bioremediation and one of its main branches, namely phytoremediation, is one of the most important and basic processes for eliminating pollutants from the environment. Due to the large number of silica factories in Azandarian area of ​​Malayer city and high soil silica pollution in this area, this study was conducted to compare the bioremediation effect of Fusarium oxy...

Isolation of Phthalic Acid Degrading Pseudomonas Sp. P1 from Soil

Phthalates are common plasticizers used in pPVC (plasticized polyvinyl chloride) products. Phthalates are commonly found in the child rearing products (for teething, toys etc.), blood bags, dialysis tubing, paints, lacquers, cosmetics, coatings of capsules etc. The present study was conducted to explore the potential of new microbial strains for the biodegradation and biotransformation of phtha...
