conclusions bacteria from biological waste were competent producers of pg and must be used on an industrial scale to cope with the demand of pg in the food industry. results among the bacillus, bacillus vallismortis (jq990307) isolated from mango was the most competent producer of pg; producing up to 4.4 u/µl. amongst pseudomonas, pseudomonas aeruginosa (jq990314) isolated from oranges was the ...

We report here the isolation of DNA from abdominal tissue of four extinct stingless bees (Proplebeia dominicana) in Dominican amber, PCR amplification of a 546-bp fragment of the 16S rRNA gene from Bacillus spp., and their corresponding nucleotide sequences. These sequences were used in basic local alignment search tool searches of nonredundant nucleic acid data bases, and the highest scores we...

The Bacillus spp. capable of producing a wide variety of secondary metabolites are diverse in their structure and function. The capacity of production of antimicrobial metabolites by Bacillus spp. determines their ability to control plant diseases (Silo-suh et al., 1994). Surfactin and iturin A are the most common lipopeptide antibiotics produced by Bacillus spp. Antibiotics from iturin family ...

Seventy five eye drops samples were collected from different pharmacies in Cairo, Egypt. Out of 75 tested samples, 58 (77.3%) are contaminated with bacterial growth when cultured on MYP medium. The bacterial count ranging from 1.0 CFU/ml to 6.0x10 CFU/ml. The microscopic examination indicated that 2 57 out of 133 isolates are Gram positive, spore forming bacilli. From 58 positive samples 32 sam...

results the pcr approved the bacillus genus of the isolates. the strain of bacillus subtilis was identified using biochemical tests. 40 ºc and ph 11 are the optimum condition for maximum keratinase enzyme activity. objectives the aim of this study was the isolation of feather degrading bacillus spp.from a poultry waste and the optimization of conditions for the highest enzyme activity and feath...

We investigated whether Bacillus spp., newly isolated from Korean traditional food resources, influence the resistance of hosts to foodborne pathogens, by using Caenorhabditis elegans as a surrogate host model. Initially, we selected 20 Bacillus spp. that possess antimicrobial activity against various foodborne pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus. Among the selected strains, six strains ...

Antibiotic resistance and microbiota within edible snow crabs are important for the Chionoecetes (snow crab) fishing industry. We investigated these parameters using culture methods and antibiotic susceptibility tests with six internal organs from three species of Chionoecetes. Each sample revealed many unexpected microbial species within Chionoecetes internal organs. On the basis of 16S rRNA s...

objective(s): we aimed to characterize the phenotype and genotype of bacillus spp isolated from diabetic patients’ eyes, by studying the drug sensitivity patterns with a disc-diffusion method. materials and methods: fifty eyes of 25 patients with type ii diabetes mellitus, with at least 10 years of diabetes history, were included in the study. we analyzed the eyes for the presence of bacillus s...

Crop productivity is affected by environmental and genetic factors. Microbes that are beneficial to plants are used to enhance the crop yield and are alternatives to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Pseudomonas and Bacillus species are the predominant plant growth-promoting bacteria. The spore-forming ability of Bacillus is distinguished from that of Pseudomonas. Members of this genus also ...

To study the putative transfer of antibiotic resistance from broiler breeders to human, hen’s eggs and theirday-old chicks were examined for the presence of bacteria. The most frequently isolated organisms indecreasing order were: Streptococcus spp., Bacillus spp., Staphylococcus spp., Klebsiella spp., Enterobacterspp. and Escherichia coli followed by Citrobacter spp., Proteus spp. and Pseudomo...
