da Silva, G. A. Nigel (Iowa State University, Ames), and John G. Holt. Numerical taxonomy of certain coryneform bacteria. J. Bacteriol. 90:921-927. 1965-An electronic computer was used to sort 32 strains of coryneforms into groups with the tree-sort program. The similarity values obtained in this procedure were then used to construct a dendrogram depicting the phenetic resemblance among the tax...

The robustness and biocompatibility of bacterial nanocages holds promise for bio-nanotechnologies. The propensity of these nano-carriers to penetrate cells has been demonstrated, which calls for the development of tracking strategies, both in vitro and in vivo. Here, we label bacterial nanocages with photo-switchable fluorophores, to facilitate their imaging by super-resolution microscopy. We d...

Five rRNA operons (rrn) were found by hybridization in the genome of 'Brevibacterium lactofermentum' ATCC 13869 and Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032. 'B. lactofermentum' DSM 20412 differed from the other corynebacteria tested in showing six hybridizing BamHI bands. Two of the rrn operons (rrnD and rrnE) were located in a single cosmid. Sequencing of the rrnD operon showed that it contains ...

Benzene is a highly toxic organic contaminant having carcinogenic potential and a serious ground water contaminant. Refinery industry is a major source of benzene contamination in the environment. The present paper focuses on biodegradation of benzene under anaerobic condition by using enriched microbial consortium. Enriched bacterial isolates, identified by 16S rRNA sequencing technique were t...

Abstract Salinization of agricultural lands, particularly rice paddies, results in the drastic decline crop yields. Soil salinization impacts plant physiology by inducing salt stress which may leads to osmotic stress, ionic and water-related nutrient imbalance. These imbalances necessitate need for plants produce osmolytes including proline glycine betaine. This study aimed elucidate dynamic ch...

L-methioninase degrades methionine, which is essential in methionine-dependent cancer cells, resulting specific cell death. Normal cells can synthesize their own methionine amino acids even the absence of exogenous methionine. This selective targeting makes a promising therapeutic candidate for cancer. In this study, was partially purified from Brevibacterium linens BL2. The activity enzyme fou...
