Improved medium for detecting deoxyribonuclease-producing bacteria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Incorporation of methyl green dye into an agar medium containing deoxyribo-nucleic acid results in an improved medium for detecting deoxyribonuclease-producing bacteria. Use of the dye makes it unnecessary to use acid to demonstrate deoxyribonuclease activity, thus allowing subculture or reincubation of colonies. The improved medium is highly sensitive and can be used for primary isolation of Staphylococcus aureus or group A Streptococcus pyogenes.

The isolation of halophilic urease-producing bacteria and the study of their nano-crystal production
Urease-producing bacteria can precipitate calcite nano-crystals by producing urease in the presence of urea and calcium. Calcite precipitation resulting from microbial activity is a process which causes cementation of soil particles in nature. The purpose of this study was to isolate urease-producing halophilic bacteria in order to precipitate calcite in saline soil. Natural samples, including ...
متن کاملIsolation 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...
متن کاملOptimization of Ph and Temperature for Deoxyribonuclease Producing Bacteria Obtained from Soil
The source of DNA for Deoxyribonuclease (DNase) producing bacteria in soil is the decaying plant cells, dead animal and bial cells. Very few organisms produce DNase extracellularly. Soil samples from different areas of Akola district (India) were screened for deoxyribonuclease production. Of the 100 soil samples screened; 10 efficient deoxyribonuclease producing bacteria were selected for morph...
متن کاملExtracellular deoxyribonuclease production by anaerobic bacteria.
The production of extracellular deoxyribonuclease was examined with anaerobic organisms isolated from clinical specimens. Nuclease activity was extraordinarily common. All strains of Fusobacterium, including eight species, as well as Bacteroides fragilis and B. melaninogenicus, displayed enzyme activity. Whereas the gram-positive bacteria were generally less productive, all strains of Clostridi...
