in order to study the effect of synorhizobium meliloti on growth and nutrients uptake of sesame, a greenhouse test was carried out. the first isolates investigated in iaa and siderophore producing and their ability in solubilizing inorganic phosphates. the results showed that all of isolates were able to produce auxin with different among. the maximum amount of iaa production was 59.5 g ml-1 th...

drought is considered as one of the most important limiting factors for oil seed canola plant(brassica napus l.) growth and productivity in iran. on the basis of root and shoot dry weight asaffected by water stress exerted by peg 6000, out of 9 canola cultivars, a relatively tolerant (cv. aghaii)and a sensitive cultivar (cv. po4) were selected. their responses to low water potential with respec...

background & objectives: antisense peptide nucleic acids (pna) that target growth essential genes show potent bactericidal properties without cell lysis. we considered the possibility that whether pna treatment influence the bacteria total nucleic acids content and apply approach to develop a new delivery system to dendritic cells (dcs). dcs are the most potent antigen presenting cells in t...

three marine bacteria, pseudomonas putida ptcc 1664, bacillus cereus  pttc 1665 and pseudomonas pseudoalkaligenes ptcc 1666 isolated from the east anzali wetland sediments of the caspian sea, were resistant to heavy metals of cadmium (cd), nickel (ni) and vanadium (v). pseudomonas pseudoalkaligenes ptcc 1666 was found to be resistant to all 3 metals ni, cd, v. heavy metal uptake was determined ...
