The diaminohexose component of a polysaccharide isolated from Bacillus subtilis.

چکیده
During the study of the acid hydrolysate of a polysaccharide from BtiZZus subtilis (3), the hexosamine fraction (4) was found to give an unidentified spot on paper chromatograms. Its color reactions were typical for an amino sugar, but it moved at a faster rate than glucosamine or galactosamine. Furthermore, degradat,ion with ninhydrin (5) afforded a reducing product possessing a RF higher than that of unsubstituted pentoses or deoxypentoses (6). The present paper describes the isolation of the amino sugar and its identification as a diimino-trideoxy-hexose.

Keratin Production by Decomposing Feather Waste Using Some Local Bacillus spp. Isolated from Poultry Soil
Background; Feather waste is generated in large amounts as a by-product of commercial poultry processing. The main component of feather is keratin. The main purpose of this study was to identify Bacillus spp. (the keratinolytic bacteria) that are able to degrade the feather for producing keratin. Methods; Bacillus spp. Were isolated from the waste of poultries located in Miyaneh city. The bact...
متن کاملMolecular Detection of Lipase A gene in Putative Bacillus subtilis Strains Isolated from Soil
The present study was undertaken to screen the soil samples collected in Iran for the presence of the Bacillus subtilis lipase A gene. The bacterial colonies obtained from the collected soil samples were examined by physical appearance, biochemical tests and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Only four colonies were identified as putative B. subtilis strains and all contained the lipase A ge...
متن کاملMolecular Diagnosis and Characterization of Bacillus subtilis Isolated from Burn Wound in Iran
Background: Bacillus subtilis refers to stretched and sometimes curved, gram-positive, aerobic, and catalase-positive bacilli, which has thermo-resistant endospores. It has been known as a normal flora in the human but can be pathogens In the case of opportunistic. Also, it can be the pathogen of nosocomial infections such as wound among hospitalized patients. Purpose of this study was to ident...

Our study was focused on characterization of dominant Bacillus bacteria isolated from the digestive tract of Oncorhynchus mykiss. After 8 weeks, the fish fed with probiotic-free diet were dissected under strictly controlled conditions. Fish intestines were eviscerated and its content diluted to 10−4 using Ringer solution. Two isolated bacteria were Gram-positive, catalase-positive, and oxidase-...
متن کاملTwo Proteins from Snake Venom have Potent Antibacterial Effects against Bacillus anthracis and Streptococcus pneumoniae
Background: Antibacterial proteins are widely expressed in snake venoms. Previously, we have isolated two immunodominant proteins with molecular weights of 14 and 65kD from the snake venom of Naja naja oxiana (N. oxiana). It was demonstrated that they had potent inhibitory effects against gram-positive bacteria, S. aureus and B. subtilis but were less effective against gram-negative bacteria, s...
