The application of new probiotics is a good strategy in the biological control of infectious diseases in aquaculture. Approximately 100 marine actinobacteria isolates were obtained from 10 sediment samples of shrimp farms. Heat treatment of sediment samples resulted in a selective reduction of the non actinobacterial heterotrophic microflora. Starch nitrate agar medium exhibited more effic...

study of some growth promotion properties of bacterial isolates from animal manures and identification of selected isolatesabstractbackground and objectives: plants growth in agricultural soils are affected by several biological factors. plant growth promoting bacteria can improve growth and yield of agronomic plants through direct and indirect mechanisms. minimizing consequences of using high ...

Variability in growth and sporulation of five isolates of Arthrobotrys dactyloides was studied on five agar, 6 bran and 5 grain media. Potato dextrose agar (PDA) supported maximum growth of isolate A, C and E, while growth of isolate B and D was significantly lower on this medium. On Czapek's agar and yeast glucose agar media the differentiation in the isolates in relation to growth was poor th...

Background: Since a wide spectrum of bacteria are responsible for causing urinary tract infections. To cover the maximum yield of isolates a study was designed in which a combination of media was used for detection of both gram positive and gram-negative bacteria. Materials and Methods: A Combination MacConkey agar, Blood agar and Cystine lactose electrolyte deficient medium were used at one an...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Tuberculosis continues to be a major public health problem in India, especially with the emergence of drug resistance. A study was carried out to establish a rapid and accurate method of susceptibility testing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis using three methods viz., proportion method by agar dilution on Middlebrook 7H11 agar, proportion method using the conventional Lowe...
