the use of wood preservatives is a suitable method to protect wooden products from termites attack. the effect of a glycol borate wood preservative and termiticide (available commercially as bora-care) alone and in combination with furfural were evaluated against m. diversus silvestri (isoptera: termitidae). the major termite pest in khouzestan province, iran in choice and no-choice tests. it w...

Termites constitute part of diverse and economically important termite fauna in Africa, but information on gut microbiota and their associated soil microbiome is still inadequate. In this study, we assessed and compared the bacterial diversity and community structure between termites' gut, their mounds and surrounding soil using the 454 pyrosequencing-based analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences. ...

Eleven species of marine Chaetoceros Ehrenberg newly recorded from Bangladesh have been illustrated and described in the present paper. The are: aequatorialis Cleve, C. constrictus Gran, decipiens denicus didymus Ehrenberg, diversus pelagicus pendulus Karsten, pseudobrevis Pavillard, seychellarus G.H.H. Karsten tetrastichon Cleve. All these here with citation relevant references collections exa...

OBJECTIVES Isolates previously identified as Citrobacter diversus are now known as Citrobacter koseri. We measured sequence variation at the beta-lactamase structural gene among a group of clinical isolates originally identified as C. diversus by API 20E profiling. METHODS beta-Lactamase and 16S rRNA genes were amplified by PCR and sequenced by standard methods. beta-Lactamase induction was a...
