The bacteriolytic activity of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus albus strains was tested with various media. Whereas S. aureus strains were found to be active under all conditions, the percentage of active S. albus strains was significantly influenced by the composition of the medium. Ionic strength and concentration of the organic nitrogen source were found to be the main factors affect...

Background Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC) is one-third of vaginitis case. About 75% of women will have at least one episode of VVC. Complication of VVC can be unfavorable to impact the patient's quality of life. Knowing its risk factors can prevent someone suffering from pathological VVC and its sequelae. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors of VVC. Materials and Methods A d...

Na(+):K(+):2Cl(-) cotransporter 1 (NKCC1) has been implicated in mediating ischemia-, trauma- or ammonia-induced astrocyte swelling/brain edema in mammals. This study aimed to determine the effects of ammonia or terrestrial exposure on ammonia concentrations in the plasma and brain, and the mRNA expression and protein abundance of nkcc/Nkcc in the brain, of the swamp eel Monopterusalbus. Ammoni...

Streptomyces albus is the type species of the genus Streptomyces. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of S. albus strain NBRC 13014(T). The genome contains at least seven orphan polyketide synthase and nonribosomal peptide synthetase gene clusters. The genome sequence will also serve as a valuable reference for Streptomyces taxonomy.

Genetic diversity and relationships among 6 Amaranthus species from 8 phytogeographic regions of the Indo-Gangetic plains were analyzed using a random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker. RAPD primers yielded a total of 262 amplicons, ranging from approximately 250 to approximately 3000 bp in size with an average of 13.1 amplicons per primer, of which 254 amplicons (96.94%) were polymorphic...

Sir,?Since I perused the letter of Baboo Amrito Lall Deb, in your issue of November last, about the beneficial effect of "Amranthus Spinosa" (Kanta Nuteeya) root in Go n orrhoea, I had a strong desire to put it into my practice. As long as I was in charge of the charitable dispensary at .Teh anabad in Gya district I had seen many cases of gonorrhoea, but after a careful investigation I could pr...

The model rumen Firmicutes organism Ruminococcus albus 8 was grown using ammonia, urea, or peptides as the sole nitrogen source; growth was not observed with amino acids as the sole nitrogen source. Growth of R. albus 8 on ammonia and urea showed the same growth rate (0.08 h(-1)) and similar maximum cell densities (for ammonia, the optical density at 600 nm [OD600] was 1.01; and for urea, the O...

The rumen bacterial strains Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens Hl7c, Fibrobacter succinogenes S8S, Lachnospira multiparus 4°, Ruminococcus albus 7 and R. flavefaciens FD-l were compared individually and as a five-species mixture with a rumen inoculum for their ability to degrade lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) stem cell wall polysaccharides. Two maturity stages oflucerne (bud and full flower) were utilized...

Flour Albus merupakan salah satu tanda dari suatu gangguan reproduksi yang ditandai dengan pengeluaran cairan berlebihan, gatal, berwarna, berbau tidak sedap dan bisa disertai nyeri. Perempuan di Indonesia 75% pernah mengalami flour albus, meningkat setiap tahun hingga 70%. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk melihat pengaruh rebusan daun sirsak pada pasien albus Puskesmas Banjarnegara 1 2022. Metod...

Molecular beacons are fluorescent probes developed for solution rather than membrane hybridization. We have investigated the utility of these probes to study rumen microbial ecology. Two cellulolytic species, Ruminococcus albus and Fibrobacter succinogenes, were tested. Membrane and solution hybridizations gave similar results in competition experiments with cocultures of R. albus 8 and F. succ...
