Halotolerant bacteria in the São Paulo Zoo composting process and their hydrolases and bioproducts
Halophilic microorganisms are able to grow in the presence of salt and are also excellent source of enzymes and biotechnological products, such as exopolysaccharides (EPSs) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Salt-tolerant bacteria were screened in the Organic Composting Production Unit (OCPU) of São Paulo Zoological Park Foundation, which processes 4 ton/day of organic residues including plant m...
متن کاملAmylolytic Microorganism from São Paulo Zoo Composting: Isolation, Identification, and Amylase Production
Composting is a way of transforming the organic waste into fertilizer, minimizing the use of inorganic compounds that may contaminate the environment. This transformation is the result of the microorganism action, converting complex carbon sources into energy. Enzymes that are exported by the microorganisms to the surrounding environment mediate this process. The aiming of the present work is t...
متن کاملThe stethoscope as a potential source of transmission of bacteria.
To the Editor: Contamination of stethoscopes by skin flora has been described previously. 1 The predominant organisms recovered from stethoscope diaphragms were Staphylococcus epider-midis and Staphylococcus aureus. Previous studies documented the status of contamination of the stethoscope diaphragm with microorganisms only once, and no repeat sampling was performed. 1 The dynamic of contaminat...
متن کاملBioremediation of diesel oil-contaminated soil by composting with biowaste.
Soil spiked with diesel oil was mixed with biowaste (vegetable, fruit and garden waste) at a 1:10 ratio (fresh weight) and composted in a monitored composting bin system for 12 weeks. Pure biowaste was composted in parallel. In order to discern the temperature effect from the additional biowaste effect on diesel degradation, one recipient with contaminated soil was hold at room temperature, whi...
متن کاملCyanobacteria: a Potential Natural Source for Drug Discovery and Bioremediation
Cyanophyta or cyanobacteria are a phylum of bacteria which obtain their energy by performing photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria are the oldest photosynthetic organisms that evolved on Earth approximately 2.6 to 3.5 billion years ago (Hedges, et al., 2001). They are generally called as bluegreen algae, which is a misnomer, as cyanobacteria are prokaryotic and algae are eukaryotic (Allaby, 1992). Cyan...
