A bacterial strain, designated BzDS03 was isolated from water sample, collected from Dal Lake Srinagar. The strain was characterized by using 16S ribosomal RNA gene and 16S-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer region sequences. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 16S rRNA sequence of the isolate formed a monophyletic clade with genera Escherichia. The closest phylogenetic relative was Escherichia...

Diarrhoeagenic E.coli is the most common bacterial pathogen causing childhood diarrhoea. In this study 100 stool samples from children having diarrhoea and 25 samples from healthy children were collected and 39 and 7 E.coli was isolated respectively. The strains were screened for ESBL production. 28 isolate (71.8%) in double disc synergy method and 22 isolate (56.4%) in phenotypic confirmation ...

OBJECTIVES To compare biofilm formations of two Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) isolates with known biofilm formation capacities on four different intraocular lenses (IOL) that have not been studied before. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two isolates obtained from ocular surfaces and identified in previous studies and stored at -86 °C in 15% glycerol in the microbiology laboratory of the A...

Forty-three bacterial isolates in five genera were recovered from naturally infected green pepper fruits (38 samples) showing dark brown, irregular-shaped splotches. The pathogenicity test was performed on healthy green pepper fruits and red colonies were from inoculated fruits showing the same symptoms and the infected area developed into soft rot. Their identification was based on phenotypic ...

Interactions between phytoplankton and bacteria play important roles in shaping the microenvironment surrounding these organisms and in turn influence global biogeochemical cycles. This microenvironment, known as the phycosphere, is presumed to shape the bacterial diversity around phytoplankton and thus stimulate a diverse array of interactions between both groups. Although many studies have at...

Abstract The isolate is the consortia of endosymbiont bacteria isolated from seagrasses E. acoroides and T. hemprichii . two isolates these bacterial can inhibit growth dinoflagellate Porphyridium sp. algicidal activities are 94.1% 92.8%, respectively. However, values BG plankton culture lower; they 57.1% 48.6%, respectively, which shows that seagrass endosymbionts group very good good. perform...

Extreme pHs, especially acidic pHs, are among the environmental stresses that some bacteria face. The most important strategies that bacteria employ for acid adaptation include either production of acidophilic proteins, or raising the pH of the microenvironment by secretion of basic compounds including ammonia produced by the action of urease. Considering the importance of acid-neutralizing bac...

Industrial effluents consist many pollutant and heavy metals. Bacteria isolated from industrial west water ground may have potential to tolerate heavy metal. In this study we isolate a Citrobacter sp. which can resist heavy metal like Cu and Pb. Slurry from industrial west water ground was collected from 22.0663 N, 88.1041 E. The heavy metal content and other parameters of soil were estimated. ...

Background: This study focused on isolation and identification of a Phenanthrene (Phe) degrader bacterium and optimization of environmental conditions for Phe degradation. Materials and Methods: Enrichment technique was used for isolation and the most effective isolate; named AP was selected based on its Phe biodegradation abilities. The isolate was identified using morphological and biochem...
