Assessing ureolytic bacteria with calcifying abilities isolated from limestone caves for biocalcification

Draft Genome Sequences of Two Ureolytic Bacteria Isolated from Concrete Block Waste

We sequenced genomes of two ureolytic bacteria, Bacillus sp. JH7 and Sporosarcina sp. HYO08, which were isolated from concrete waste and have a potential for biocementation applications.

In-Situ Soil Cementation with Ureolytic Bacteria by Surface Percolation

Radon in the creswell crags Permian limestone caves.

An investigation of radon levels in the caves of Creswell Crags, Derbyshire, an important Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) shows that the Lower Magnesian Limestone (Permian) caves have moderate to raised radon gas levels (27-7800 Bq m(-3)) which generally increase with increasing distance into the caves from the entrance regions. This feature is partly explained in terms of cave venti...

Aggregation and adhesion abilities of 18 lactic acid bacteria strains isolated from traditional fermented food

*Corresponding Author E-mail: [email protected] Tel.: +86-25-84392177, Bacterial aggregation and hydrophobicity of lactic acid bacteria strains isolated from Chinese traditional fermented food were performed in order to assess a correlation with their adhesion abilities by using intestinal Caco-2 cell line in vitro model. In this study, no correlation existed between hydrophobicity/autoaggregatio...

Bioactivity of endophytic bacteria and yeasts isolated from Thymus

Endophytes are important resources of bioactive compounds and due to their potential in theproduction of secondary metabolites, they are regarded as a potential reservoir ofbiotechnological applications. In this study, the bioactivity of bacteria and yeasts endophytesresiding in Thymus sp. was evaluated. During April to October 2011, symptomless and healthytissues of Thymus sp. were collected. ...
