METHODS: This study was carried out on 353 slaughteredbuffalos (143 female and 210 male) at Ahvaz abattoir, southwest ofIran. After slaughter, urinar...

Background : Phenol and it’s derivatives were removed by physicochemical methods in the past but nowadays biological treatment has priority. Bacteria with the rapid proliferation in the presence of phenol and it’s derivatives can remove them in a good manner. The aim of this project is isolation and identification of bacteria that degrade phenol from water and sediment of Kor river and also inv...

hyaluronidase has a panoramic use in biotechnology processes and therapy due to its therapeutic, pathophysiological, physiological and biological importance. since much of the preparations of hyaluronidases are from animal source (bovine and ovine testicular sources) with limited sources of microbial origin, that prompted the authors to screen and isolate a new promising bacterial strain with h...

background biosurfactants are surface-active compounds produced by some microorganisms. objectives in this study, we collected surface skin samples from breast of poultry (chicken, turkey, and, quail) and screened for biosurfactant-producing bacteria. we also determined the genera of cultured strains. materials and methods 33 hemolytic bacterial strains (15, 11, and 7 isolates from chicken, tur...
