The marine actinomyces Micrococcus was the most common bacterium among isolates corals, sponges, and alga isolates. Only a few investigations of natural compounds from sp. were reported previously. This study implicated soft coral-associated strain A-2-28 (following relative flavus LW4T) for large-scale cultivation, chemical analyses, biological activities. Whereas crude extract inhibited only ...

arsenic is one of the most dangerous heavy metals in the environment that is harmful for organisms such as human beings. due to this treat economic approach for elimination of arsenic from water and wastewater is necessary. in this research arsenic-resistant bacteria from water and sediments of lake maharloo were isolated and identified then their antibiotic resistance was evaluated. sampling w...

In the present investigation, iron nanoparticles were synthesized by using mushroom extract. The production of from P. florida was initially confirmed color changes brown to dark within 30 min at 60° and further characterized Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy scanning electron microscope with Edax. biosynthesized subjected antimicrobial activities showed higher zone inhibition against Candida gl...

Endophytic bacteria associated with the fern Dicksonia sellowiana were investigated. The bacterial communities from the surface-sterilized pinnae and rachis segments of the plants from the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest that grew in native field conditions were compared with the bacterial communities from plants grown in greenhouses and plants that were initially grown in greenhouses and then tr...

A colony of a yellow pigment forming, nonhemolytic Micrococcus species (tentatively identified as Micrococcus luteus) was found on a human blood agar plate close to a hemolytic staphylococcal colony. It was also noted that the zone of hemolysis of this Staphylococcus (the term Micrococcus is not used here for this organism to avoid confusion with the other) was slightly but definitely indented ...

Amphora sp. was isolated from the Sfax Solar Saltern and cultivated under hypersaline conditions. It contains moderate rates of proteins, lipids, sugars, and minerals and a prominent content of bioactive compounds: polyphenols, chlorophyll a, carotenoids, and fatty acids. The analysis of fatty acids with GC/MS showed that the C16 series accounted for about 75% of Amphora sp. lipids. Saturated f...

This study aimed to determine the impact of artisanal refinery operations on physicochemical and microbiological properties soil water in Igia-Ama, Tombia Kingdom, Rivers State, Nigeria. Physicochemical parameters along with concentrations heavy metals, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene xylene (BTEX), polychlorinated biphenyls (P...
