Microorganisms rule the functioning of our planet and each one individual macroscopic living creature. Nevertheless, microbial activity growth status have always been challenging tasks to determine both in situ vivo. Microbial is generally related growth, rate a result availability nutrients under adequate or adverse conditions faced by cells changing environment. Most studies on microorganisms...

Bioremediation approaches for the treatment of oily sludge from a refinery were evaluated using a 2(3) factorial design. The three strategies tested were bioaugmentation with indigenous microbial consortia (MO) isolated from oily sludge, biostimulation with nutrients (NP) and biostimulation with the surfactant Triton X-100 (TX). Eight experimental runs were conducted in triplicate with factor s...

Integrating microbial physiology and biomass stoichiometry opens far-reaching possibilities for linking microbial dynamics to ecosystem processes. For example, the growth-rate hypothesis (GRH) predicts positive correlations among growth rate, RNA content, and biomass phosphorus (P) content. Such relationships have been used to infer patterns of microbial activity, resource availability, and nut...

objective this research was carried out to compare antibacterial effect of rosa nutkana sepal extract with synthetic antibiotics on methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) bacteria isolated from patients with sty. patients and methods this descriptive study was done in 2009 at remedial center of shahid beheshti university and sampling was performed from patients suffering from sty us...

protein-rich hydrolysate from feather waste was obtained using a mixed culture of selected thermophilic actinomycete strains, and was tested for possible application as soil amendment and biological control agent. for this purpose, a 4 months laboratory experiment was carried out using two types of urban soils (sofia, bulgaria): native park soil and anthropogenic soil. the effect of the obtaine...
