The cytology of Micrococcus cryophilus.

Micrococcus cryophilus, spec. nov.; a large coccus especially suitable for cytologic study.

Some properties, including the substrate in vivo, of the delta 9-desaturase in Micrococcus cryophilus.

The delta 9-desaturase of the psychrophilic bacterium Micrococcus cryophilus is shown to be a membrane-bound enzyme that is probably linked to a cyanide- (and azide-) sensitive respiratory chain with oxygen as the final acceptor. It has a pH optimum of 8.7 and contains an essential thiol group, but has no special ion requirements. The desaturase activity of washed membranes could not be increas...

Pulmonary infiltrates in immunocompromised patients: diagnosis by cytological examination of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.

Thirty pulmonary infiltrates in 26 patients were investigated by bronchoalveolar lavage. Sixteen of the patients were on therapeutic immunosuppression for renal disease or transplant and 10 had leukaemia, lymphoma, or allied conditions. A rapid specific diagnosis was made in 21 (70%) episodes by cytological examination of the fluid and in 28 (93%) by a combination of cytology and microbiology. ...

Study of the increase in phytoremediation efficiency in a nickel polluted soil by the usage of native bacteria: Bacillus safensis FO.036b and Micrococcus roseus M2

Nickel (Ni) is a heavy metal and soil pollutant but existence of small amount of it as a metallic part of urease enzyme in the plants is necessary. Remediation of spots contaminated with heavy metals is particularly challenging. Phytoremediation, the use of plants for environmental restoration, is a novel clean up technology. In this study, five levels of nickel [control (Ni0), Ni125, Ni250, Ni...

بررسی مقایسه‌ای نتایج سل بلاک و سیتولوژی در مایعات ارسالی به بیمارستان حضرت رسول اکرم(ص) در سال 1382

    Background & Aim: The importance of exact diagnosis of diseases and prevention of complications caused by them is evident to everyone. One of the preventive methods is early detection of diseases. Cytologic examination is a useful and effective method among all. Recognition of early changes of cell morphology could perhaps help us diagnose diseases and manage them before clinical manifestat...
