Carotenes produced by alkaliphilic orange- pigmented strain of Microbacterium arborescens - AGSB isolated from coastal sand dunes
نویسنده
چکیده
Collections of gram positive bacteria from coastal sand dune vegetation, Ipomoea pes-caprae showed a predominance of orange pigmented colonies of Microbacterium arborescens-AGSB. The pigment was identified using a combination of UV/visible spectral data and HPLC retention time as a lycopene type carotenoid pigment with λmax at 468 nms. These bacteria may be accumulating carotenoids as part of their responses to various environmental stresses and thus aiding their survival in this stressed habitat.

متن کاملMineralogy and Geochemistry of Sand Dunes of the Southern Coast of the Caspian Sea
Babolsar eastern coastal dunes have been developed along the southern coast of the Caspian Sea. The studied area is coordinated in N36°43' to N36°44' latitude and E52°44' to E52°52' longitude. The objectives of this research were to: Study mineralogy and geochemistry of sand dunes, to obtain chemical alteration index (CIA) and its relationship to climate and mineralogy, to de...
متن کاملHalotolerant, alkaliphilic urease-producing bacteria from different climate zones and their application for biocementation of sand.
Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a phenomenon based on urease activity of halotolerant and alkaliphilic microorganisms that can be used for the soil bioclogging and biocementation in geotechnical engineering. However, enrichment cultures produced from indigenous soil bacteria cannot be used for large-scale MICP because their urease activity decreased with the rate a...
متن کاملAnalysis of Sand Masses Morphogenetic in Makran Coastal Plain
The instability and mobility of sand dunes is a major concern of planning and management in arid coastal plains. The aim of this study is to identify morphogenetic characteristics of sand masses and their locations, as well as to identify the processes that formed and transported them in the western part of the Makran coastal plain. Research data and tools were including spatial distributions o...
متن کاملMicrobacterium kribbense sp. nov., isolated from soil.
A Gram-positive, short, rod-shaped, cream-coloured actinobacterium, designated MSL-04(T), was isolated from a soil sample collected from an agricultural field on Bigeum Island (Republic of Korea) and was subjected to polyphasic characterization to unravel its taxonomic position. The optimum growth temperature and pH were 28-30 degrees C and pH 7.2-7.4. Chemotaxonomic characteristics such as B2b...
