The use of microorganisms in the degradation and detoxification of many toxic xenobiotics, especially pesticides, is an efficient tool for the decontamination of polluted sites in the environment. A novel bacterial strain (M1) was isolated from several water samples contaminated with methomyl which is capable of degrading methomyl pesticide (1000 ppm) in the presence of 0.05% glucose. These wat...

Three beagle dogs were inoculated with mice spleen/liver homogenate infected with Ehrlichia species detected from Ixodes ovatus (EIO) and one dog was used as a control. All three infected dogs did not show clinical signs of disease except for mild pyrexia throughout the 41-day study period. Splenomegaly was observed from Day 7 post-inoculation (p.i.) in two of the dogs. Hematological and bioche...

The genus Streptomyces under phylum actinobacteria has been recognized as a prolific source for the production of bioactive secondary metabolites. An actinobacterial strain designated as DST103 isolated from a wetland fresh water sediment of Tamdil Lake, Mizoram, Northeast, India was identified as Streptomyces cyaneofuscatus (KY287599) using 16SrRNA gene sequencing which shares 99.87% sequence ...

The white-spotted globular bug Eysarcoris guttigerus (Thunberg) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is widely distributed in East Asia and the Pacific region. In Japan, the species is found in grassy or composite weeds in the western area of the main islands and Ryukyu Islands of Japan. One notable characteristic of the Eysarcoris genus is the two white spots on the scutellum. This is not the case with t...

Mycobacteria are able to enter into a state of non-replication or dormancy, which may result in their chronic persistence in soil, aquatic environments, and permissive hosts. Stresses such as nutrient deprivation and hypoxia provide environmental cues to enter a persistent state; however, a clear definition of the mechanism that mycobacteria employ to achieve this remains elusive. While the con...

Introduction and Aim: Proteus mirabilis is a Gram-negative bacterium that responsible for urinary tract infections (UTI), especially catheter-associated UTI. In this study, we investigated whether certain painkillers anti-inflammatory drugs, when used alongside antibiotics, could lower P. growth consequently resistance to antibiotics. Materials Methods: Urine samples (n=119) were collected from...

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is an obscure but economical and helpful technology for removing biologically from wastewater. A 3-MLD capacity pre-anoxic selector-attached sequencing batch reactor (SBR) treated municipal wastewater the residents of IIT Roorkee. The treatment in plant satisfied effluent discharge standards all respects except phosphorus, observed during intensive ...

prior investigators demonstrated helicobacter pylori as a risk factor of liver diseases. in this study association between h. pylori and hepatocellular carcinoma was investigated. patients and methods totally, 59 specimens of liver were collected from two health care centers affiliated to shahid beheshti university of medical sciences, including 22 specimens of hepatocellular carcinoma, 18 spec...

Background and aimsNowadays, probiotic microorganisms are given high attention due to their potential for the improvement of animal production productivity. The natural gut microflora poultry can serve as an excellent source optimum strains. Therefore, this study isolated, identified characterized Lactobacillus strains from digestive tract content RIR chicken in Ethiopia.MethodsA total five chi...

The relationship between microbiota and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) progression is still unclear, especially microbiota. We collected biopsy swab samples from 236 participants in health diseases Linzhou. With the average relative abundance (ARA%) of as baseline, this study compared baseline with other groups by Wilcoxon test respectively, ARA% among five was analyzed Kruskal-Walli...
