چکیده

Substrate utilization in defined media for two flower spiroplasmas (S. floricola and FS SR-3) and honeybee spiroplasma (HBS AS-576) was investigated. Glucose, fructose, and mannose were utilized by all three spiroplasmas. In addition, HBS (AS-576) could ferment trehalose; FS (SR-3), sucrose; and S. floricola, trehalose, sucrose, and raffinose. The three spiroplasmas varied greatly in growth requirements for amino acids. Only S. floricola utilized arginine. HBS (AS-576) required at least one purine and one pyrimidine base for growth, while both flower spiroplasmas grew with only one base in the medium. Oleic acid, cholesterol, and BSA were essential to all three spiroplasmas. Palmitic acid, which was non-essential, promoted growth significantly.

Utilization of Rice Hull as a New Substrate for Turf Grass Seed Germination in Sod Production as a Sustainable Approach

Sod culture is one of the important methods in establishing and repairing of turf grass, especially in sport fields. Nowadays, a mixture of sand and peat are commonly used in sod production in Iran. Because peat media is expensive, it seems necessary to find an alternative medium. Rice hull, tea waste and leaf compost as economical organic material that are available in huge loads in north of I...

Effects of inhibition and repression on the utilization of substrates by heterogeneous bacterial communities.

This investigation attempts to evaluate to what extent enzyme inhibition and repression by metabolites, indigenous to the cell, are significant phenomena in natural microbial communities. Three case histories of the kinetics of substrate utilization and growth in multisubstrate media by heterogeneous bacterial populations are presented: (i) concurrent substrate utilization and growth on both su...

Detection of Neuraminidase Activity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1

Objective(s) Some properties of neuraminidase produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 growth in a defined medium (BHI) were examined and evaluated for its features. Materials and Methods The obtained supernatant enzyme of P. aeruginosa PAO1 cultures was used in a sensitive fluorometric assay by using 2'-(4-methylumbelliferyl) a-D-N acetylneuraminic acid as substrate. As hydrolyzing MUN with ...
