Mines and Minerals of the British Empire
This is a description of the historical, physical and industrial features of the principal centres of mineral productions in the British Dominions beyond the seas, by Mr. R. Stokes, the late Mining Editor of the Rancl Daily Neivs of Johannesburg. It is a brief but comprehensive review of the mineral treasures of the British Empire. It is worthy of notice that the following important minerals ar...
متن کاملIsolation of extreme halophiles from seawater.
Extreme halophilic bacteria were isolated from the ocean off the coast of Spain. All were gram-negative cocci. One isolate was compared to Halococcus sp. NCMB 757 and was found to have similar characteristics.
متن کاملCharacterization of the 7S RNA and its gene from halobacteria.
The 7S RNA is an abundant nonribosomal RNA in H. halobium and other halobacteria. A specific 7S RNA gene probe shows high homology to genomic DNA of all halobacteria tested but not to those of several other archaebacteria, eubacteria and eukaryotes. All halobacterial genomes seem to carry a single copy of the 7S RNA gene. The coding region of the 7S RNA gene is highly G+C rich whereas the 5'- a...
متن کاملPopulation health in South Africa: a view from the salt mines.
In sub-Saharan Africa, South Africa is at the forefront in the use of fi scal and legislative instruments to manage population health. Mandatory regulations passed in March, 2013, to begin in 2016, will aff ect the salt content of processed food and will be a key weapon in the fi ght against the rising burden of hypertension. A fi rst for Africa, the regulations could potentially aff ect popula...
متن کاملPreliminary Isolation and Characterization of Halotolerant and Halophilic Bacteria from Salt Mines of Karak, Pakistan
Halophiles are extremophile organisms that thrive in environments with very high concentrations of salt. The salt mines of Karak region, is an extremely saline environment and its microbial communities have not yet been explored. In the present study, twenty one halotolerant and halophilic bacterial strains were isolated from salt mines of Karak region. These strains can grow in media with 5-40...
