Nineteen strains of Lactobacillus isolated from goat's milk from farms in north-west of Algeria were characterized. Isolates were identified by phenotypic, physiological and genotypic methods and some of their important technological properties were studied. Phenotypic characterization was carried out by studying physiological, morphological characteristics and carbohydrate fermentation pattern...

aim : the purpose of this study was to characterize phenotypically and genotypically the serotypes of the e. coli o111 associated with diarrheal disease and assess the variation among serotypes in terms of specific virulence factors and hela cells adherence patterns. background : escherichia coli o111 serogroups are prevalent in endemic or sporadic cases of diarrhea, especially in developing ar...

We describe the orthopaedic management of progressive genu varum in a child who manifested the full phenotypic characterization of Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen syndrome.

The identification, differentiation and classification of microorganisms have been subjects of research for many years. Recently, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy techniques have gained attention in the characterization and classification of microorganisms based on biochemical profiles and cell structure characteristics. In the present study, the characterization and differentiati...

Studies of adult neurogenesis have greatly expanded in the last decade, largely as a result of improved tools for detecting and quantifying neurogenesis. In this review, we summarize and critically evaluate detection methods for neurogenesis in mammalian and human brain tissue. Besides thymidine analog labeling, cell-cycle markers are discussed, as well as cell stage and lineage commitment mark...

ii To my supportive parents, Scott and Julie iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Lina Moreno for all of her dedication and guidance with this research study. This project would not have been possible without her and the rest of my thesis committee, Drs. for giving me the opportunity to further my education and pursue a career in orthodontics. Finally, I would like to thank my wonderfu...

26 27 28 Aims: The use of RAPD-PCR fingerprinting and plasmid profiles to determine at the 29 strain level, the similarity of Lactococcus lactis isolates obtained during sampling of 30 traditional cheeses and to verify its correspondence to the selected phenotypic 31 characteristics. 32 Methods and Results: A total of 45 L. lactis isolates were genotypically analyzed by 33 RAPD-PCR fingerprinti...
