Isolation and identification of bioactive compound producing Rhodococcus spp. isolated from soil samples

isolation and identification of bioactive compound producing rhodococcus spp. isolated from soil samples

the genus rhodococcus is gram positive bacterium which was classified into the family of nocardiaceae. the organism can be isolates from different sources, with capability to degrade diverse types of pollutant. nowadays, scientists reported a few secondary metabolites which are produced by rhodococci. hence, the present study tried to isolate rhodococci from different soil samples with the capa...

Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Activity of Carotenoid Pigment Produced by Native Rhodococcus spp. Isolated From Soil

In recent years, scientists and researchers from all over the world pay much attention to carotenoid pigments as a substitute for antibiotics and synthetic chemical compounds with antioxidant property and the plants, various microorganisms including bacteria and algae are also capable of producing carotenoid pigments. In this research, the production of antimicrobial and antioxidant carotenoid ...

Evaluation of Heavy Metals Resistance in Biofilm Cells of Native Rhodococcus spp. Isolated from Soil

Background & Aims of the Study: Rhodococci according to possess large genome, their active metabolism and survival under extreme conditions, are highly regarded for biodegradation and bioremediation of different pollutants especially heavy metals in the environment. Biofilms are more resistant to heavy metals than free-swimming organisms. The aim of this study was biofilm forma...

Isolation and Identification of an Alkaline Protease Producing Bacillus from Soil

isolation and identification of nocardia spp. using phenotypic methods from soil samples of north khorasan province

introduction: nocardia is saprophytic soil bacterium of the actinomycetes families. nocardia has high diversity of species and due to species diversity of nocardia, phenotypic tests are essential for early identification of nocardia species. methods: 155 soil samples from different regions of north khorasan province in iran were collected, including: urban and rural areas. isolation of nocardia...
