PATHOLOGICAL, BIOCHEMICAL AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF THE SEED-BORNE BACTERIA "PANTOEA SPP., XANTHOMONAS SPP. AND PSEUDOMONAS SPP." FROM SOLANACEOUS PLANTS IN EGYPT

Molecular and phenotypic characterization of Pseudomonas spp. isolated from milk.

Putative Pseudomonas spp. isolated predominantly from raw and processed milk were characterized by automated ribotyping and by biochemical reactions. Isolates were biochemically profiled using the Biolog system and API 20 NE and by determining the production of proteases, lipases, and lecithinases for each isolate. Isolates grouped into five coherent clusters, predominated by the species P. put...

Molecular characterization of Enterococcus spp. clinical isolates from Cairo, Egypt.

PURPOSE Enterococci are responsible for serious diseases such as bacteraemia, endocarditis and urinary tract infections. The ability of enterococci to cause such diseases is due to acquisition of certain virulence factors such as haemolysin, gelatinase and enterococcus surface protein. This study has been conducted to investigate the occurrence of virulence factors and resistance to various ant...

Biodegradation of Malathionby Pseudomonas Spp. and Bacillus Spp. Isolated Frompolluted Sites in Egypt

Malathion is a widely used organophosphate pesticide as it is applied to control a wide range of sucking and chewing pest of field crops, fruits and vegetables. The present study reports the isolation of malathion-degrading bacteria using enrichment technique. Morphological, biochemical and 16S rRNA identification was carried out. The analysis showed that one of the isolated bacteria was belong...
