چکیده
Rifampicin at a concentration of 10 mug/ml completely inhibited protein synthesis in exponential-phase cultures of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. At this same concentration the drug was shown to have no effect on the stability of mRNA, determined as the functional and hybridizable material, when compared with hybridizable mRNA in an uninhibited system. In each case, the half-life of the mRNA had a value in the range 5 +/- 1 min, at 30 degrees C.

Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens Alpha-amylase Inhibition by Organic Solvents: A Study on Methanol, Ethanol and Propanol
Alpha-amylase is widely used as an industrial enzyme, and a therapeutic target for which inhibitors are designed. Organic solvents are used to dissolve various compounds that would be studied as moderators of alpha-amylases, but they could themselves affect enzyme activity and stability. Methanol, ethanol and propanol are simple alcohols that may be commonly used to this end, and their effect h...

Probiotics can improve growth, survival and resistance to pathogenic organisms of the cultivated species in aquaculture systems with water recirculation. However, their possible benefits on biofloc systems have been less studied. In this study, the benefits of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens bacterium, on a biofloc culture of Litopenaeus vannamei were evaluated. B. amyloliquefaciens was applied as d...
متن کاملProduction and biochemical characterization of a thermostable phytase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens LOR10
Phytase can improve the nutritional value of plant-based foods by enhancing protein digestibility and mineral availability through phytate digestion in the stomach and the food processing industry. Microbial sources are more promising for the production of phytases on a commercial scale. The objectives of this exploration were to screening and isolation of phytase-producing bacteria from hot sp...
متن کاملStudy on Activity and Stability of Proteases from Bacillus Sp. Produced by Submerged Fermentation
Objective: Investigations were carried out to isolate bacteria from saline-alkali soils and determined optimized alkaline protease activity and stability produced by a wild strain of bacillus sp. in submerged fermentation (SMF). Methods: Optimum temperature for enzyme activity in the crude extract was 40 ◦C at a pH between 8.0 and 9.0. The studies on pH stability showed that the enzyme...
