methyl tertiary butyl ether (mtbe) belongs to the group of gasoline oxygenates and persistent environment contaminants, and shows potential for biodegradation in aerobic and anaerobic conditions, through application of pure microbial cultures. presented research shows that indigenous bacterial isolates 6sy and 24p, selected from oil hydrocarbons-contaminated environments, were capable of utili...

Aminopeptidases (APs) are important regulators of peptides directly involved in water homeostasis such as angiotensins (Ang) and vasopressin (AVP). Sex differences in water balance and differences in the effects of gonadal steroids on osmotic stimulation of vasopressin secretion have been reported. Since sex steroids may be involved, the gonadotropin response to osmotic stimuli may be different...

objective the extensive pollution of natural ecosystems has occurred by organophosphorus pesticides, being used for improvement of crop production in agriculture. biodegradation is interested in application of multifunctional bacteria containing genetical elements which specially degrade organophosphorus compounds. in this paper the detection of two bacteria species, pseudomonas and flavobacter...

BACKGROUND Early sexual activity is a significant problem in the United States. A recent survey suggested that most sexually experienced teens wish they had waited longer to have intercourse; other data indicate that unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases are more common among those who begin sexual activity earlier. Popular music may contribute to early sex. Music is an integral...

Some properties of compounds in degrading bacteria are required for biodegradation of contaminants to higher performance. Those strains which have a high percentage of these features are more effective at biodegradation. The present experiments were designed to measure these parameters. In this study, measurement of cell surface hydrophobic-degrading bacteria was designed which oil was separate...
