background: masske is a traditional iranian butter made from yoghurt. the first aim of this study was to isolate and identify the nonlactic pathogenic microflora by culture and molecular methods of identification, and the second purpose was to identify genetic similarity of the isolated bacteria in masske. materials and methods: in order to detect pathogenic dominant indicator microorganisms, a...

paper mills are characterized as polluting industries, these use pulping process for papermanufacturing, due to which toxic chemicals released into environment. therefore, the biological oxygendemand (bod), chemical oxygen demand (cod) of the emanating stream is high and dissolved oxygen (do) is low. to resolve this predicament, two dominant bacteria bacillus subtilis and micrococcus luteus, an...

background: the role of the hospital environment as a source of dissemination of pathogens is critical. environmental surfaces in the intensive care units (icus) are suitable for the growth of gram-negative bacteria that normally circulate between the environment and patients and can cause outbreaks of nosocomial infections. in this study, the prevalence of gram-negative bacilli in the environm...

ethanol producing bacteria are useful in industrial production of biofuel. there are interesting for screening of active bacteria from natural resources and introduce to biofuel industries. the present study aims to isolation of ethanol producing bacteria with characterization, optimization, and evaluation of their ethanol productivity. samples from various fruits, plant saps and soils were scr...

background: weissellicin 110 is the only bacteriocin reported in weissella cibaria up to now. this bacteriocin represents several unique features. this is the first report on the gene sequence that encodes for the bacteriocin.objectives: providing a rapid detection method to isolate the weissellicin 110 encoding gene and determination of the bacteriocin distribution were the objectives.material...

results the k. pneumonia isolates were resistant to erythromycin (70%), cefixime (53.3%), tetracycline (50%) and ceftazidime (36.6%). the amplification of teta and tetb genes of k. pneumonia revealed that all of the isolates harbored these genes. conclusions resistance to tetracycline and other antibiotics, and the presence of various resistance genes in k. pneumonia strains are alarming signs ...

two probiotic bacteria (lb. acidophilus and b. lactis) were immobilized on the alginate coat of strawberry pieces and were added to the prepared sweet non fat dietary stirred yogurt. physico-chemical parameters namely ph value, titratable acidity and synersis along with the viability of probiotic bacteria of the samples were evaluated over the 8 days of storage at 5 ºc at 2 day intervals. a sig...
