The present study describes the screening of five lactic acid bacteria (LAB) for use as probiotics based on their competitive adhesion and production of antagonistic substances against some fish pathogens. A reduction of adhesion of all pathogenic strains tested was obtained with three of the LAB strains (Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis CLFP100, Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris CLFP102 and L...

The microbial diversity occurring in Stilton cheese was evaluated by 16S ribosomal DNA analysis with PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. DNA templates for PCR experiments were directly extracted from the cheese as well as bulk cells harvested from a variety of viable-count media. The variable V3 and V4-V5 regions of the 16S genes were analyzed. Closest relatives of Lactococcus lactis, ...

Bu çalışmanın amacı; Citrobacter izolatlarına karşı laktik asit bakterilerinin antimikrobiyal ve antibiyofilm aktivitelerini belirlemektir. çalışmada kullanılan izolatları (C1, C2, C3) BD PhoenixTM otomasyon sistemi ile braakii olarak tanımlanmıştır. Biyofilm oluşumu Kongo kırmızılı agar mikrotitrasyon plak metodu kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Antibiyogram test sonuçlarına göre, tüm izolatlar amf...

Cutaneotrichosporon curvatus DSM 101032 is an oleaginous yeast that can be isolated from various habitats and is capable of producing substantial amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Here, we present the first draft genome sequence of any C. curvatus species.

p 1 Host specificity of the decapitating fly Pseudacteon curvatus was studied to determine whether this species is suitable for release as a classical biocontrol agent of imported fire ants in the United States. A series of no-choice tests with 19 species of ants from 12 genera showed that P. curvatus will not develop in ants outside the genus Solenopsis. P. curvatus successfully parasitized th...
