The present study deals with isolation, identification and analysis of bacteria from tannery effluent through 16S rRNA based molecular technique. Bacterial strain was isolated and characterized using various biochemical tests and confirmed through molecular approach. Bacterial 16S rRNA gene was amplified using suitable primers. The amplified 16S rRNA gene sequence was compared with the sequence...

The susceptibility of the small abalone Haliotis diversicolor supertexta to Vibrio parahaemolyticus 880915 strain and its extracellular products (ECP) at different temperatures was investigated. The strain was previously isolated from the haemolymph of the moribund small abalone with withering syndrome during an outbreak of mass mortality among the cultured animals in September 1999 in I-Lan, T...

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a common vegetable crop with worldwide consumption of its edible fruit. Bacterial wilt in tomato causes substantial yield loss. Biological control using microbial agents such as rhizobacteria has gained considerable attention over the last decade. In this study, we isolated a bacterial strain, RS-9 from the rhizosphere of a healthy tomato plant in a bacterial wi...

The available passive mode of periodontal infections in mice requires high efficiency of bacterial attachment and invasiveness and is not always suitable to test the pathogenicity of genetically engineered mutant strains. We developed an active mode of oral infection, using microinjection in the marginal gingiva of mice, to test the pathogenicity of a genetically engineered Treponema denticola ...

The bacterial diseases of silkworms cause significant reductions in sericulture and result in huge economic loss. This study aimed to identify and characterize a pathogen from diseased silkworm. SW7-1, a pathogenic bacterial strain, was isolated from the diseased silkworm. The strain was identified on the basis of its bacteriological properties and 16S rRNA gene sequence. The colony was round, ...

A halotolerant bacterial strain VA1 isolated from marine environment was studied for its ability to utilize polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) under saline condition. Anthracene and pyrene were used as representatives for the utilization of PAH by the bacterial strain. Glucose and sodium citrate were used as additional carbon sources to enhance the PAH utilization. The strain VA1 was able t...

recently, the effects of antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles was considered by researcher because of bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents in chemical.the aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the gold nanoparticles on escherichia coli. gold nanoparticles are chemically synthesized. standard strain of e. coli was cultured in a nutrient broth. minimum ...
