Sequencing of the gene coding for 16S rRNA (16S rDNA) is a well-established method used to identify bacteria, particularly mycobacteria. Unique sequences allow identification of a particular genus and species. If more than one 16S rDNA is present on one mycobacterial genome, their sequences are assumed to be strictly or almost identical. We have isolated a slowly growing Mycobacterium strain, "...

objective(s): in recent years, the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles has been the focus of interest because of their emerging application in a number of areas such as biomedicine. in the present study we report the extracellular biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (aunps) by using a positive bacterium named streptomyces fulvissimus isolate u from rice fields of guilan province, iran.materials a...

objective(s): the development of reliable and ecofriendly process for the synthesis of nano-metals is an important aspect in the field of nanotechnology. nano-metals are a special group of materials with broad area of applications. materials and methods: in this study, extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles (snps) performed by use of the gram positive soil streptomycetes. streptomycete...

The 16S rDNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and sequencing method has been demonstrated to be valuable in detecting pathogens in the blood of patients suffering from fever or neutropenia. However, its use in the diagnosis of neonatal late‑onset septicemia (LOS) has not yet been reported. The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficien...

DNA corresponding to 16S rDNA and the 165-23S rDNA intergenic spacer (ITS) from 22 reference strains of acetic acid bacteria, representing the diversity of the family Acetobacteraceae, and 24 indigenous acetic acid bacteria isolated from wine fermentations were analysed by PCR-RFLP. Frateuria aurantia LMG 1558T and Escherichia coli ATCC 11775T were included as outgroups. PCR-amplified products ...
