It is important to study the response of plant pathogens to the antibiosis traits of biocontrol microbes to design the efficient biocontrol strategies. In this study, we evaluated the role of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by a biocontrol strain Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SQR-9 on the growth and virulence traits of tomato wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum (RS). The VOCs of SQR-9 ...

background identification of novel pathogenic bacteria always has a crucial role in clinical microbiology to defeat uncontrolled diseases. objectives sample preparation platform has been developed for rapid and simple detection of infectious organisms from the point of care diagnostics and molecular manipulation by using three novel genomic dna isolation protocols. materials and methods most of...

The objective of this study was development and characterization of a halophilic bacterial consortium for rapid decolorization and degradation of a wide range of dyes and their mixtures. The 16S rRNA gene analysis of developed halophilic consortium VN.1 showed that the bacterial consortium contained six bacterial strains, which were identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens HM480360, Enterobacter a...

screening and identification of moderately halophilic protease producing bacteria from different regions of maharloo, a hypersaline lake in the southern area of iran, were the objectives of this study. in the preliminary screening, 16 isolates exhibited proteolytic activity on saline skim milk agar. all isolates were able to grow comfortably in the media containing 7-15% of salt. protease activ...

The antimicrobial activity of five sanitizing agents employed in clean areas designated for the pharmaceutical manufacturing of sterile products was tested against nine microorganisms, including four microorganisms from the clean area microbiota. The method consisted of challenging 5 mL of each sanitizing agent 70% isopropyl alcohol, 0.4% LPH®, 1.16% hydrogen peroxide, 4% hydrogen peroxide, 1% ...

Microbialbiodegradation is known as an effective and harmless method to overcome environmental pollution with oil hydrocarbon. Some bacterial species were isolated from the Sarvestan oilfields (Iran, Fars province), then identified and applied for oil hydrocarbon decomposition. A carbon-free minimum medium (CFMM) containing 1% crude oil was used to isolate bacteria through incubation at 30°C in...

In this study, a screening of the efficacy microbial consortium bacteria and fungi isolated from activated sludge, river sediment, compost for degradation LDPE/TPS was performed. According to morphological biochemical characterization, eight bacteria, Bacillus sonorensis, subtilis, Lysinibacillus massiliensis, licheniformis, indicus, megaterium, cereus, Pseudomonas alcaligenes, five molds, Aspe...

nitrate pollutants increase the growth of algal bloom, resulting in fresh water eutrophication. the high nitrogen level in wastewater has become a growing concern, which has risen the necessity to develop efficient nitrogen removal techniques. biological denitrification, which is the reduction of oxidized nitrogen compounds like nitrate or nitrite to gaseous nitrogen compounds, is the most impo...
