Magentotactic bacteria and their applications
Magentotactic bacteria are the types of bacteria capable of orientation in an external magnetic field because of the ability to produce structures called magnetosomes. Magnetosomes, nanometer-scale structures, are present in most of the magnetotactice bacteria. They are intracellular organelles composed of magnetic iron mineral crystals individually surrounded by a phospholipid layer. Because o...
متن کاملLactic acid bacteria: their applications in foods
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play an important role in food, agricultural, and clinical applications. The general description of the bacteria included in the group is gram-positive, nonsporing, nonrespiring cocci or rods, which produce lactic acid as the major end product during the fermentation of carbohydrates.1 The common agreement is that there is a core group consisting of four genera; Lacto...
متن کاملEndosymbiotic calcifying bacteria across sponge species and oceans
From an evolutionary point of view, sponges are ideal targets to study marine symbioses as they are the most ancient living metazoans and harbour highly diverse microbial communities. A recently discovered association between the sponge Hemimycale columella and an intracellular bacterium that generates large amounts of calcite spherules has prompted speculation on the possible role of intracell...
متن کاملHalophilic bacteria and their compatible solutes – osmoregulation and potential applications
Halophilic bacteria grow over an extended range of salt concentrations. Their metabolic patterns are distinct compared to their terrestrial counterparts and obligate halophiles. The possibility of rapid adjustment to changes in the external salt concentration makes them potential candidates for bioprocessing. Halophilic bacteria produce enzymes, metabolites, solutes, exopolysaccharides and pigm...
متن کاملExtracellular polymeric substances of bacteria and their potential environmental applications.
Biopolymers are considered a potential alternative to conventional chemical polymers because of their ease of biodegradability, high efficiency, non-toxicity and non-secondary pollution. Recently, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS, biopolymers produced by the microorganisms) have been recognised by many researchers as a potential flocculent for their applications in various water, wastewa...
