The present study was aimed at isolating a potential keratinase producing bacteria from chicken feathers collected from poultry waste sites in and around Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, and optimising the parameters for the enzyme production. The strain was identified as Bacillus licheniformis KMBVP based on 16srRNA gene sequencing. The strain showed high keratinolytic activity when cultured in feather...

A new species of the genus Vietnamophryne is described from Vu Quang National Park in North Vietnam based on molecular phylogenetic and morphological analyses. The morphologically distinct congeners can be easily distinguished all other members by (1) body size males (n=4) 14.12-14.91 mm; females (n=9) 15.15-17.33 (2) dorsal skin shagreened with small flat pustules loosely scattered back males,...

Abstract Mycoplasma pulmonis and muris infections have been associated with several diseases in conventionally housed laboratory rat and mice colonies. In naturally infected of mycoplasma pulmonis in mice and rat colonies, the respiratory organ appears to be the favored site of colonization; so, it was not surprising to see that infection spread from the site of urogenital tract to the respirat...

BACKGROUND Due to the limitations of the classical methods to detect Coxiella burnetii, direct diagnosis of the pathogen using PCR techniques is still the preferable approach. However, false negative results owing to the presence of PCR inhibitors are troublesome. OBJECTIVES In order to identify the inhibitors during PCR assay, an internal positive control (IPC) was designed based on 16SrRNA ...

The study aimsto find identify the bacteria that produced fibrinolytic enzymes tauco. sample this research sixdifferent manufacturers. Two tests have to do study: proteolytic test S...

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic conditions arising from an intricate interplay of genetics and environmental factors, associated with gut dysbiosis, inflammation, permeability. In this study, we investigated whether the inflammatory potential diet is microbiota profile, permeability in forty patients IBD clinical remission. The dietary index (DII) score was used to assess diet. fe...

This study sought to clarify the composition of soil fungal and bacterial communities along an elevation gradient in arid montane ecosystem as well influence environmental factors (soil properties, climate, topography, plant diversity) upon microbial community structures. Four vegetation types—montane desert steppe (mean elevation: 1761 m), shrub 2077 subalpine coniferous forest 2485 2903 m)—we...

Free fatty acid (FFA) is one of the pathogenic factors in acne vulgaris. However, how FFAs interact with skin microbiome and host immunity still unclear. To clarify this, we comprehensively investigated lesions developed a novel mouse model. First, measured severity amounts (C12-C24) healthy- acne-forehead (50 females, aged 20-40 years). The total palmitic (PA) were weakly correlated number inf...
