A Preliminary Report on the Isolation and Identification of Magnetotactic bacteria from Iran Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
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’ which may be very useful in robotic technology. In this research, two species of magnetotactic bacteria were isolated; freshwater specimens were collected from Karkheh River and marine specimens were collected from the Caspian Sea. After enrichment, two species of the Magnetotactic bacteria were isolated using a specific solid media culturing. The response of the two isolates to the magnetic field was observed by an optical microscope. SEM photos showed that the freshwater and marine bacteria are rod shaped. TEM images showed chains of magnetosomes in the bacterial cells. Also magnetic behavior of the magnetosomes was investigated by alternating-gradient-force magnetometer, indicating that the magnetosomes have superparamagnetic-to-single-domain properties.

اتانول کاربردهای متنوعی در صنایع لاستیک سازی، رنگسازی، حلالها ومکمل سوخت خودرو دارد. اتانول برخلاف نفت از جمله مواد تجدیدپذیر محسوب می شود که مشکلات زیست محیطی و آلودگی نیز ایجاد نمی کند. استفاده از اتانول به عنوان مکمل سوختخودروها از جمله مهمترین مصارف صنعتی این ماده بشمار می رود. با توجه به این موضوع تحقیق و توسعه در زمینه تولید اتانول با درجه خلوص بالا در سطح جهان، و نه تنها در کشور های پیشر...
Collection, isolation and enrichment of naturally occurring magnetotactic bacteria from the environment.
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are aquatic microorganisms that were first notably described in 1975 from sediment samples collected in salt marshes of Massachusetts (USA). Since then MTB have been discovered in stratified water- and sediment-columns from all over the world. One feature common to all MTB is that they contain magnetosomes, which are intracellular, membrane-bound magnetic nanocrysta...
