Lipases have the ability to perform biotransformation which has made them increasingly popular in the detergent, food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Environmental pollution due to oil effluents is one of the major problems and there is need for detoxification and destruction of these contaminants effluents. Different Lipase producing microorganisms are used for the oil effluent remed...

This study examined the effect of nitrogen (N) on biochar stability in relation to soil microbial community as well as biochar labile components using δ13C stable isotope technology. A sandy loam soil under a long-term rotation of C3 crops was amended with biochar produced from maize (a C4 plant) straw in absence (BC0) and presence (BCN) of N and monitored for dynamics of carbon dioxide (CO2) f...

In an initial evaluation, we found the Oxoid Signal blood culture system inferior to the BACTEC radiometric system for detection of some microorganisms causing septicemia (M. P. Weinstein, S. Mirrett, and L. B. Reller, J. Clin. Microbiol. 26:962-964, 1988). To determine whether modified processing of the Oxoid Signal blood culture system could improve its yield and speed of detecting positive c...

Anecdotes, both historical and recent, recount the curing of skin infections, including diaper rash, by using red soils from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Following inoculation of red soils isolated from geographically separate areas of Jordan, Micrococcus luteus and Staphylococcus aureus were rapidly killed. Over the 3-week incubation period, the number of specific types of antibiotic-produ...

Soil yeasts exhibit an array of beneficial effects to plants viz., plant growth promotion, phosphate solubilization, nitrogen and sulphur oxidation, etc. Yeasts remain as poorly investigated group microorganisms that represent abundant dependable source bioactive/chemically novel compounds potential bioinoculants. Hence this study holds the key concept assessing performance soil with promoting ...

to investigate the influence of hypoxia during the early stage of incubation on embryonic developmentand hatching events, and consequently on incidence of ascites in broiler chickens, one thousand fertile eggswere incubated in two commercial incubators. half the eggs were incubated in a low altitude incubator untilhatched. the second half were incubated in a high altitude incubator until day 10...

Atrazine herbicide is known to disrupt the endocrine system and potentially carcinogenic. The long-term use of this results in high residue levels soil, causing water contamination agricultural land. Microbial degradation represents a cost-effective way eco-restoration compared more expensive physicochemical methods, especially soil settings. Growth atrazine by microorganisms are optimal at spe...

The antimicrobial characteristics of Australian commercial timber species were studied using a direct screening method and two different microorganisms. effectiveness samples was compared with plastic paper during an incubation period 24 h at 37 °C. initial data E. coli S. aureus showed no difference in performance between the softwood tested. Hardwood samples, however, inhibition zone when tes...

knowledge of virus and replication kinetic is one of the most important issues in the vaccine production. the present study aimed to evaluate the best harvesting time of h9n2 avian influenza virus (aiv) vaccine strain inoculated in specific pathogen free (spf) embryonated chicken eggs (ece)s. for this purpose, 10-5 dilution of aiv (a/chicken/iran/99/h9n2) was inoculated into 336, 11-day old ece...
