Bacillus massiliosenegalensis strain JC6(T) sp. nov. is the type strain of Bacillus massiliosenegalensis sp. nov., a new species within the genus Bacillus. This strain was isolated from the fecal flora of a healthy Senegalese patient. B. massiliosenegalensis is an aerobic Gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequen...

Nonribosomal peptides from marine Bacillus strains have received considerable attention for their complex structures and potent bioactivities. In this study, we carried out PCR-based genome mining for potential nonribosomal peptides producers from our marine bacterial library. Twenty-one "positive" strains were screened out from 180 marine bacterial strains, and subsequent small-scale fermentat...

The present study was aimed at isolating endophytic fungi from the Algerian medicinal plant Salicornia arabica and analyzing its antifungal antibacterial effects. morphological analysis allowed us to identify endophyte isolates genus level as belonging 8 different genera, Aureobasidium sp., Ulocladium Acremonium Stemphylium Penicillium Aspergillus Phoma Chrysosporium sp. with frequency percenta...

Disturbance in water relations is the major causes of vase life reduction and senescence in cut flowers This problem is mainly due to microorganism proliferation in the vase solution which leads to vascular occlusion and reduction in solution uptake by cut flowers. Therefore a comprehensive study was conducted to evaluate the biocidal effect of nano silver particles (NSP) and compare it with so...

Bacillus cereus 809A and Burkholderia sp. 711C were isolated from soil. These strains demonstrate hydrolysis activity towards prochiral 2-phenyl-1,3-propanediol diacetate and accumulated the corresponding chiral monoacetates into the reaction mixture. When 2-phenyl 1,3-propanediol diacetate was used as a substrate, the produced monoacetates with Burkholderia sp. 711C were obtained in a racemic ...

Takahashi, I. (McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada). Transduction of sporogenesis in Bacillus subtilis. J. Bacteriol. 89:294-298. 1965.-A number of asporogenous mutants of Bacillus subtilis were isolated and genetic analyses with these mutants were carried out by means of transduction mediated by bacteriophage PBS 1. The ability to form spores could be restored by transduction in all...
