Isolation and Identification of Myxobacteria from Saline-Alkaline Soils in Xinjiang, China

Isolation and Identification of Myxobacteria from Saline-Alkaline Soils in Xinjiang, China

Fifty-eight terrestrial and salt-tolerant myxobacteria were isolated from the saline-alkaline soils collected from Xinjiang, China. Based on the morphologies and the 16S rRNA gene sequences, these isolates were assigned into 6 genera, Myxococcus, Cystobacter, Corallococcus, Sorangium, Nannocystis and Polyangium. All the strains grew better with 1% NaCl than without NaCl. Some Myxococcus strains...

Isolation, Molecular Identification, and Phylogenetic Analysis of Antimicrobial Agents Producing Actinomycetes in Farming Saline Soils of Qom City, (Iran)

Background and Objectives: Actinomycetes are Gram-positive and filamentous bacteria that are the major microorganism in soil. According to studies, three quarters of all known antibiotics are produced by actinomycetes. The present study aimed to investigate actinomycetes in farming saline soils of different regions of Qom province in terms of antibacterial property.   Methods: In this experime...

Isolation and Identification of a Rare Actinomycete with Antibacterial Activity from Saline Region of Iran

Background: The appearance of multi-drug resistant microorganisms is becoming a global problem. Already several strategies have been employed to overcome antibiotic resistance issue. Developing new antimicrobial compounds from microbial sources could be a beneficial solution. Hence screening programs in order to discover new antibiotics from microbial entities are interesting. Because of high c...

Isolation and molecular identification of bacteria producing alkaline phosphatase enzyme from environmental sources

Alkaline phosphatase (ortho phosphate, monoester hydrolase phosphoinositide E. C. 3.1.3.1) is a non-specific metalloproteinase enzyme that is located inside periplasmic space of bacteria. This enzyme is used to measure freshwater sediment in genetic engineering for cleaning water. Isolation and molecular identification of the bacteria producing alkaline phosphatase and comparison of its product...
