Marine Actinobacteria, particularly coral-associated Actinobacteria, have attracted attention recently. In this study, the abundance and diversity of Actinobacteria associated with three types of coral thriving in a thermally stressed coral reef system north of the Arabian Gulf were investigated. Coscinaraea columna, Platygyra daedalea and Porites harrisoni have been found to harbor equivalent ...

The methods currently available for quantitative determination of lysozyme are based on the capacity of the enzyme to lyse Micrococcus lysodeikticus. Previous attempts to develop immunochemical assays have been reported, but the sensitivity was inferior to that of the most widely used lysoplate method. We describe the development of a sensitive immunochemical method for lysozyme assay in which ...

Equations 2 and 3, came from investigations with a highly purified enzyme from Micrococcus aerogenes (6), and from experiments with the pigeon liver enzyme (7-9). On the other hand, data (10, 11) obtained with a formate-activating enzyme from Clostridium cylindrosporum have led to an alternate interpretation, namely that Reaction 1 goes via a concerted mechanism without the formation of any det...

The purpose of this paper is to report a rare case bacterial keratitis caused by the non-pathogenic Kocuria varians. reported exemplifies development severe following corneal microtrauma induced or potentially pathogenic species. We cause varians in review national and foreign literature. Examination microbiota determination its spectrum sensitivity antibiotics, if performed early, will facilit...

The research is aimed at solving an urgent problem of microbiology, that studying bacterial degradation processes persistent environmental pollutants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and phthalates. study examined the ability bacteria Micrococcaceae family, isolated from technogenically polluted territories Perm Region, to degrade phthalates: esters ortho-phthalic acid, tereph...
