Twenty-nine lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolates were submitted for identification using Biolog, API50CHL, 16S rDNA sequencing, and species-specific PCR reactions. The identification results were compared, and it was concluded that a polyphasic approach is necessary for proper LAB identification, being the molecular analyzes the most reliable.

The present study identifies the hot spot of Yenice and aims to determine tree diversity in Fagus-Abies, Fagus Quercus-Fagus forests, define microbial community these forests by Biolog-Ecoplate method reveal physiological profile differences at level between forests. Accordingly, soil samples were taken from predefined different communities was analyzed using Biolog EcoPlate method. In addition...

In this study 269 phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) strains were isolated from onions rhizosphere. The 15 most efficient PSB selected. Based on BIOLOG profiling and the LOPAT test system, identified as Enterobacter cloacae (7), Yersinia intermedia, Pantoea agglomerans, Bacillus subtilis(2), pumilius, Lysinibacillus sphaericus atrophaeus(2). effect onion growth was investigated under greenhou...

Twenty clinical strains each of Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas caviae, and Aeromonas sobria were evaluated for their abilities to oxidize one or more of 95 carbon sources on a GN Microplate (BIOLOG, Hayward, Calif.). Nine substrates yielded good, discriminatory values for the three species tested. The panel appears to be useful for the species identification of Aeromonas isolates originating f...

Agricultural soils are typically fumigated to provide effective control of nematodes, soilborne pathogens, and weeds in preparation for planting of high-value cash crops. The ability of soil microbial communities to recover after treatment with fumigants was examined using culture-dependent (Biolog) and culture-independent (phospholipid fatty acid [PLFA] analysis and denaturing gradient gel ele...
