Synthetic extreme environments like carwash effluent tanks and drains are potential sources of biotechnologically important microorganisms and molecules which have, however, remained unexplored. Using culture- and molecular-based methods, a total of 17 bacterial isolates belonging to the genera Shewanella, Proteus, Paenibacillus, Enterobacter and Citrobacter, Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and Pantoea ...

Cereal-porridge(‘ogi’) was produced by spontaneous fermentation using maize and sorghum substrates. The microbiological dynamics involved were monitored over a period of 48h fermentation. Bacteria, yeasts moulds isolated. Based on the morphological, cultural biochemical test results, aerobic bacterial isolates identified as Proteus vulgaris, mirabilis, Klebsiella sp, Staphylococcus aureus, Lact...

A specific kinase for the phosphorylation of 2-ketogluconate with adenosine triphosphate has been found in Pseudomonas JEuorescens grown on glucose (l), in Aerobacter cloacae grown on 2-ketogluconate (2), and in a number of other bacterial species. In P. jluorescens, phosphorylation of 2-ketogluconate is a major step in the sequence of glucose catabolism (3) and hence is induced by growth on gl...

The Enterobacteriaceae family is considered one of the medically essential families in which there a continuous change classification, and new species are added to it. In this study, we obtained novel strain registered NCBI under bacterium PRL 4-2, with accession number MW540823, isolate unclassified Enterobacteriaceae. was from dishwashers, mine for many strains due unique environmental condit...

Objective(s):Urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by bacteria is one of the most frequent infections in human population. Inappropriate use of antibiotics, often leads to appearance of drug resistance in bacteria. However, use of probiotic bacteria has been suggested as a partial replacement. This study was aimed to assess the antagonistic effects of Lactobacillus standard strains against bacte...
