Organic compatible solutes of halotolerant and halophilic microorganisms
Microorganisms that adapt to moderate and high salt environments use a variety of solutes, organic and inorganic, to counter external osmotic pressure. The organic solutes can be zwitterionic, noncharged, or anionic (along with an inorganic cation such as K(+)). The range of solutes, their diverse biosynthetic pathways, and physical properties of the solutes that effect molecular stability are ...
متن کاملInterspecies interactions of halophilic and halotolerant actinomycetes: An example from a salt
Interspecies interaction of actinomycetes will express new gene clusters and may therefore affect the pigmentation, sporulation and production of secondary metabolites. Actinomycetes strains were isolated from Howze Soltan Salt Lake. Binary actinomycete interaction assay was conducted to evaluate its effect on colony morphology and antibiotic production. The molecular identification of the indu...
متن کاملAn overview of MetaMap: historical perspective and recent advances
MetaMap is a widely available program providing access to the concepts in the unified medical language system (UMLS) Metathesaurus from biomedical text. This study reports on MetaMap's evolution over more than a decade, concentrating on those features arising out of the research needs of the biomedical informatics community both within and outside of the National Library of Medicine. Such featu...
متن کاملVaricella: historical perspective and clinical overview.
In immunocompetent children in Europe and the United States, varicella is usually a benign disease. However, infants born to women who acquire varicella during or shortly after pregnancy are at high risk of infection. For unknown reasons, the disease is more severe in adolescents and adults, with pneumonia the most common cause of death. Varicella may also be lethal in patients of any age in th...
متن کاملIndustrial and environmental applications of halophilic microorganisms.
In comparison with the thermophilic and the alkaliphilic extremophiles, halophilic microorganisms have as yet found relatively few biotechnological applications. Halophiles are involved in centuries-old processes such as the manufacturing of solar salt from seawater and the production of traditional fermented foods. Two biotechnological processes involving halophiles are highly successful: the ...
