The development of functional foods and their safety assessment is required for well-being the human health. In present study, we have isolated identified a potential probiotic bacterium from fermented garlic pickle that exhibits an improvement in health status upon consumption. order to assess bacterium, vitro tests were performed, including tolerance acid, pancreatin,bile, adhesion ability ga...

Amylolytic enzymes are most important in the biotechnology industries which are highly applied in food, fermentation, textile and paper industry. The enzyme is also used in starch liquefaction, brewing, pharmaceuticals, detergents, drugs, toxic waste removal and in oil drilling (Ajay & Fagade, 2003). In the present study isolation of a bacterial strain from soil samples was done and it's physio...

The Klip River has suffered from severe anthropogenic effects from industrial activities such as mining. Long-term exposure to heavy metal pollution has led to the development of heavy metal resistant strains of Pseudomonas sp. KR23, Lysinibacillus sp. KR25, and E. coli KR29. The objectives of this study were to characterize the genetics of copper and chromate resistance of the isolates. Copper...

Xylocarpus granatum produces various bioactive compounds with diverse biological activities, one of them as an antioxidant. Endophytic actinobacteria can also produce compounds. This study aimed to explore the existence endophytic X. fruit and determine its antioxidant activity. The research method was carried out by isolating from using selective media Humic Acid (HV). Furthermore, characteriz...

The unknown cause of mass kills in juvenile Clarias gariepinus was investigated using different markers as a prerequisite to provide solution for disease outbreaks. Thus, the following analyses were conducted; namely, hematology and serum biochemical analyses, stress biomarkers detection quantification, water quality test, elemental quantification from pond soil sampled, quantitative qualitativ...

A new strain, namely Lysinibacillus sp. BV152.1 was isolated from the rhizosphere of ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea L.) producing metabolites with potent ability to inhibit biofilm formation of an important human pathogens Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, Staphylococcus aureus, and Serratia marcescens. Structural characterization revealed di-rhamnolipids mixture containing rhamnose (Rha)-Rha-C10-C1...

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...
