Isolation, purification and identification of bacteria from the shoes worn by children
نویسندگان
چکیده
13 strains of bacteria were isolated from 12 shoes that were worn by children aged 6 to 12 for more than half a year. Through morphological observation, physiological and biochemical measurements, as well as 16SrRNA sequence analysis, the bacteria were identified as follows: Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus subtilis (5 subspecies), Bacillus spore (3 subspecies), Bacillus anthracis, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Bacillus thuringiensis. The results may contribute to the selection of efficient antimicrobial agents for children's shoes and insole.

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Halophilic bacteria can grow and survive in environments with a wide range a wide range of salinities. In this study, we aimed to isolate halophilic bacteria from the Meyghan Lake in Arak (Iran) and evaluate their enzymatic activity. Methods: Samples were taken from four different areas of the lake. Halophilic bacteria were isolated by...
متن کاملA Preliminary Report on the Isolation and Identification of Magnetotactic bacteria from Iran Environment
Several species of Magnetotactic bacteria have been discovered recently. These bacteria synthesize intracellular magnetic nanoparticles in specific sizes and shapes and arrange them in chains. These particles called magnetosomes and can be used for drug-delivery, cell-targeting and hyperthermia. Magnetotactic bacteria navigate along the magnetic field; this process is known as ‘magnetotaxis’ wh...
متن کاملIsolation and identification of L-asparaginase producing actinomycetes from Persian Gulf
Introduction: L-asparaginase is an anti-neoblastic agent used in the chemotherapy of lymphoblastic leukemia. This enzyme is widely distributed among microorganisms, plants and animals, but microorganisms have proved to be a better alternative for L-asparaginase, thus facilitating its large-scale production. Actinomycetes are filamentous, Gram-positive bacteria widely distributed in the marine e...
متن کاملPurification and identification of 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid from pure royal jelly
The chemical nature of the royal jelly (RJ) has received considerable attention over the past 20 years. Genc and Aslan reported the determination of Trans-10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA) content in pure Royal Jelly and royal jelly products by column liquid chromatography. Antinelli et al. confirmed this method and evaluated 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid presence as a freshness parameter for Ro...
متن کاملIsolation and identification of halophilicbacteria from Urmia Lake in Iran
Halophiles are in all three domains of life: Archaea, Bacteria and Eucarya. Halophilic microorganisms in addition to form major part of life biodiversity can have many biotechnological applications. The objective of this research is isolation and identification of halophilic bacteria from Urmia Lake in Iran and the study of its bacterial biodiversity. After sampling of brines from Urmia Lake fr...
