Assessing the ability of soil microorganisms to dissolute poorly soluble native calcite to supply Ca2+ is a new area to be explored in reclaiming sodic soils by supplying adequate Ca2+ and reducing the recurrent sodicity. Hence, the present study aimed to isolate a calcite dissolving bacteria (CDB) from calcareous sodic soils and to understand the mechanism of calcite dissolution. Of the 33 CDB...

A Gram-positive-staining, rod-shaped, facultatively oligotrophic bacterial strain, designated MB18(T), was isolated from a water sample collected from the River Mahananda at Siliguri (26° 44' 23.20' N, 88° 25' 22.89' E), West-Bengal, India. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, the closest relative of this strain was Brevibacterium epidermidis NCDO 2286(T) (96 % similarity). The DN...

Brevibacterium otitidis is a coryneform rod and, as far as is known, is isolated only from infected ears. We report the first known case of peritonitis caused by B. otitidis in a patient undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Two strains, HG104 and ASSO, were isolated Crom the soil of Tehran's suburbs. Taxonomic studies showed thatHG104 and AS50 belong to Mycobacterium spp. and Brevibacterium spp. respectively, which produce antibacterial substances with relatively high activity against some important clinical Gram-positive and Gramnegative bacteria

Époisses is a protected designation of origin smear-ripened cheese from the Burgundy region in France. It has an orange color and strong flavor, both which are generated by surface microorganisms. The objective present study was to investigate microbial dynamics at during ripening postmanufacturing storage low temperatures. Rind samples were analyzed enumeration on agar plates 16S rRNA gene int...

“There wasn’t any insulin left at home, so I skipped a day or two,” Erika explained. The thin teenage girl sat tucked between white hospital linens. Two days earlier, she had been rushed to the emergency department by ambulance after a neighbor found her unconscious at a park near her home. The routine of stabilization and correction of electrolyte abnormalities went smoothly, just like it had ...

Fabric has the power to humanize our living environment. Textiles have always had an ability to demarcate space, absorb sound and create decorative elements. With these characteristics, it is not difficult to explore the full potential of heat setting on polyester as a decorative surface design technique. Utilizing the heat setting properties of polyester, a range of fabrics has been designed a...
