Production of equol from daidzein by gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium isolated from rat intestine.
Isoflavones (mainly daidzein and genistin) belong to the flavonoid group of compounds and are classified as phytoestrogens. In the intestine, daidzin is converted to daidzein by beta-glucosidase, and then daidzein is converted to O-desmethylangolensin (O-DMA) or equol via dihydrodaidzein by enzymes of intestinal bacteria. We isolated, for the first time, an anaerobic gram-positive rod-shaped st...
متن کاملGram-Negative Bacterium
The cell envelope of a marine pseudomonad as seen in thin section by electron microscopy has the double-membrane structure typical of other gram-negative bacteria. Cells washed with a solution containing Na+, K+, and Mg++ at their concentrations in the growth medium, when suspended briefly in 0.5 M sucrose, lost 13% of their hexosamine in a form nonsedimentable by centrifugation at 73,000 x g. ...

Abstract Background and Objective: Nosocomial infection is one of the main factors of mortality in hospitals . One of the most important measures to control infection in hospitals is sampling of equipment and culturing the samples . This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of gram-negative bacilli obtained from the equipment of the hospital wards . Material...
متن کاملEfficacy of Amikacin and Imipenem Against Multi-Drug Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria Isolated From Wound Infections
Background and Objective: Gram-negative pathogens are considered the common cause of wound infections associated with increased mortality and morbidity rates. Antibiotics combination has been used to overcome this problem. Aims: In this study, we identify Gram-negative pathogens found in wound infections and assess the in-vitro efficacy of a combination of amikacin and imipenem against the resi...
متن کاملBacillus macauensis sp. nov., a long-chain bacterium isolated from a drinking water supply.
A novel long-chain, Gram-positive, rod-shaped, endospore-forming strain was isolated from the influent of a drinking water treatment plant in Macau, China. This facultatively anaerobic isolate (2.0-5.0 microm in length and 0.8-1.2 microm in diameter) formed long chains over 100 microm in length in both liquid and solid media. It had a growth temperature range of 20-40 degrees C, with an optimum...
