three marine bacteria, pseudomonas putida ptcc 1664, bacillus cereus  pttc 1665 and pseudomonas pseudoalkaligenes ptcc 1666 isolated from the east anzali wetland sediments of the caspian sea, were resistant to heavy metals of cadmium (cd), nickel (ni) and vanadium (v). pseudomonas pseudoalkaligenes ptcc 1666 was found to be resistant to all 3 metals ni, cd, v. heavy metal uptake was determined ...

halophilic bacteria grow over a wide range of salt concentrations. in this study we aimed to isolate and screen out the halophilic bacteria and to determine their activity for production of the bioactive compounds. a total of 50 water, sediments and soil samples were collected from maharlu salt lake in southern region of fars-iran and subjected for isolation of the bioactive compound producing ...

l-asparaginase is a candidate enzyme for anti-neoplastic agent againstacute lymphoblasticleukemia and also extensively use in the food industry for prevention of acrylamide formation. l-asparaginase is widely distributed among microorganisms. in this study, marine bacteria were isolated from persian gulf and screened for l-asparaginase activity. production of l-asparaginase was carried out by u...

background and objectives: mortality is highly variable within population of cultured fish due to virulent bacteria causing fish septicemia. the use of nano-silver marine fungal chitosan as antibiotic synergisers could be an alternative in the treatment of sepsis fish pathogens. materials and methods: different bulk chitosan solutions were prepared from the mycelia of four marine fungi ( asperg...

background bacterium-bacterium antagonistic interactions could be important in the ecology of marine bacteria. antimicrobial properties of microorganisms are exploited in various fields of human activities. objectives antagonism of heterotrophic bacteria from different marine environments of tropical and temperate zones was examined. materials and methods bacteria were isolated from biofilm sam...

Phenol and phenol compounds are environmental pollutants present in industrial wastewaters such as, coal tar, oil refineries and petrochemical plants exist. Phenol removal from industrial effluent is extremely important in protection of environment. Recently phenol biodegradation has been considered. Marine bacteria are the most important phenol biodegrader. In this study, the phenol-degrading ...

Marine bacteria require a significant amount of NaCl for optimal growth and have quite different physiological character from terrestrial counterparts. For example, marine bacteria possess a unique type ofNADH:quinone reductase, a membrane-boundenzymewhich takes part in the respiratory chain1}. This enzyme requires Na+ for its activity and with its Na+-pumping activity generates sodium-motive f...
