Bradyrhizobium strains isolated from the nonlegume Parasponia spp. formed a group of strains that were highly competitive for nodulation of P. andersonii when paired with strains isolated from legumes. Strains from legumes, including those of similar effectiveness to NGR231 and CP283, were not able to form nodules as single occupants on P. andersonii in the presence of Parasponia strains. Howev...

using of microorganisms to remove industrial pollutions of environment is an efficient methodthat mimics natural process and decrease remediation cost. in this study, 450 actinomycete strains wereisolated from high metal content soils in iran. heavy metal salt solutions in different concentrations were usedto isolate the resistant strains. 40 resistant actinomycetes which they showed highly res...

resistance of streptococcus pneumoniae against penicillin is considered to be of great importance. while low-resistant strains could be treated by penicillin, treatment of highly resistant strains is very difficult and needs broad-spectrum antibiotics. this study was performed in imam khomeini medical center, tehran, iran, from 1999 to 2001 to evaluate pneumococcal resistance against penicillin...
