Misidentification of Brucella species from clinical specimens using commercial bacterial identification systems is a recurring problem. An isolate from a bacterimic patient was identified as Bergeyella zoohelcum by MicroScan Walk-Away (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc., West Sacramento, CA, USA) and as Brucella melitensis by Vitek 2 system (bioMérieux Inc., Durham, NC, USA). Because of this i...

Butachlor (BUT) is a chloroacetanilide herbicide widely applied to rice paddies to control annual grass and broad-leaf weeds. A BUT-degrading bacterial strain (PK) was isolated from paddy soils. Biochemical and 16S rRNA sequencing characteristics confirmed the strain as Pseudomonas aeruginosa (99% resemblance). The isolate dissipated BUT (100 μg/mL) in an M9 liquid medium with a rate of 0.5 ± 0...

Honey acts as an antibacterial without side effects, and also contains antiseptic substances which function to inhibit bacterial growth. This study aimed isolate the Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) in Sumbawa white honey bioactive compounds produced pathogenic antibacteria. The 1st stage this was isolation of lactic acid bacteria honey, then continued with a grading test, morphological catalase meth...

Aim: The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of bacterial culture supplementation on ruminal fibrolytic bacterial population as well as on survivability of inoculated bacterial strain in lactating Murrah buffaloes kept on high fibre diet. Materials and Methods: Fibrolytic bacterial strains were isolated from rumen liquor of fistulated Murrah buffaloes and live bacterial culture w...

A new Firmicutes isolate, strain HV4-6-A5C, was obtained from the hydrolysis stage of a mesophilic and anaerobic two-stage lab-scale leach-bed system for biomethanation of fresh grass. It is assumed that the bacterial isolate contributes to plant biomass degradation. Here, we report a draft annotated genome sequence of this organism.

We looked for bacterial strains with antifungal activity in the sorghum rhizosphere. A prescreening procedure to search for hemolytic activity among the isolated strains allowed us to detect good fungitoxic activity in a bacterial isolate that we named UM96. This bacterial isolate showed strong growth inhibition in bioassays against the pathogens Diaporthe phaseolorum, Colletotrichum acuta...

In this study a total number of 15 moribund gold fish (Carassius auratus) were collected from the fish farms of Hooghly district, West Bengal, India. The bacterial infection in the eyes of the affected fishes was recorded. Isolation and biochemical characterization of the bacterial isolate was done in laboratory. The bacterial isolate (GF1) was found to be positive for catalase, methyl red, nit...

A heavy metal-resistant bacterial strain was isolated from heavy metal-contaminated soils and identified as Burkholderia sp. J62 based on the 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis. The heavy metal- and antibiotic resistance, heavy metal solubilization of the isolate were investigated. The isolate was also evaluated for promoting plant growth and Pb and Cd uptakes of the plants from heavy metal-contam...

Microorganism accumulating polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) in its cytosol was isolated from water obtained from InCheon area. This strain was determined to be Bacillus species that was examined by 16S rDNA sequences and phylogenetic tree analysis. The bacteria accumulated up to 20.6% of PHA within 48 hours at 37 o C in the presence of 2.0% glucose substrate under aerobic condition. The present work...
