Pseudomonas alcaligenes NCIMB 9867 (strain P25X) produces isofunctional enzymes of the gentisate pathway that enables the degradation of xylenols and cresols via gentisate. Previous reports had indicated that one set of enzymes is constitutively expressed whereas the other set is strictly inducible by aromatic hydrocarbon substrates. The gene encoding gentisate 1,2-dioxygenase (GDO), the enzyme...

The present study was aimed to evaluate the suitability of agro-wastes and crude vegetable oils for cost-effective production poly-?-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), growth kinetics PHB in Alcaligenes faecalis RZS4 Pseudomonas sp. RZS1 with these carbon substrates biodegradation accumulated by cultures. accumulates higher amounts corn (79.90% dry cell mass) rice straw (66.22% medium respectively. kinetic...

We have carried out a picosecond fluorescence study of holo- and apoazurins of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (azurin Pae), Alcaligenes faecilis (azurin Afe), and Alcaligenes denitrificans (azurin Ade). Azurin Pae contains a single, buried tryptophyl residue; azurin Afe, a single surface tryptophyl residue; and azurin Ade, tryptophyl residues in both environments. From anisotropy measurements we conclu...

Indole is widely spread in various environmental matrices. Indole degradation by bacteria has been reported previously, whereas its degradation processes driven by aerobic microbial community were as-yet unexplored. Herein, eight sequencing batch bioreactors fed with municipal and coking activated sludges were constructed for aerobic treatment of indole. The whole operation processes contained ...

Discharging industrial wastes into the soil causes accumulation of pollutants, especially petroleum hydrocarbons and used engine oil, in the environment. This study was done to find some bacterial strains capable of removing the engine oil from contaminated soils. Soil samples contaminated by engine oil were collected from some polluted area of Hamadan City, and then their bacterial strains wer...

The polyhydroxyalkanoic acid synthase gene from Chromobacterium violaceum (phaC(Cv)) was cloned and characterized. A 6.3-kb BamHI fragment was found to contain both phaC(Cv) and the polyhydroxyalkanoic acid (PHA)-specific 3-ketothiolase (phaA(Cv)). Escherichia coli strains harboring this fragment produced significant levels of PHA synthase and 3-ketothiolase, as judged by their activities. Whil...

Abstract This study aims to measure air bacteriological concentration, determine the effect of temperature, humidity, and wind speed on identify genus bacteria found around Gegerkalong waste transfer station. Sampling at stations was based a radius 0, 10, 30 60 meters East, West, South North station 09:00, 12:00 18:30 with 3 replicates. The method used concentration settling plate method. resul...

In the present study, 12 aerobic bacterial strains were isolated from the common effluent treatment plant (CETP) of tannery industries and identified as Alcaligenes sp. (FJ55942), Pantoea sp. (FJ55943), Bacillus megaterium (FJ55944), B. marisflavi (FJ55945), B. subtilis (FJ55946), B. megaterium (FJ55947), B. cereus (FJ55948), B. pumilus (FJ55949), Pseudomonas sp. (FJ55950), Bacillus sp. (FJ5595...

Abstract In a long-term symbiotic relationship between plants and pathogens, have evolved to harbor beneficially endophytic microbiomes, thereby conferring them the ability resist infection by pathogens. This prompted us establish phytopathogen-based co-culture platform for targeted isolation of potential biocontrol agents from via specific pathogen enrichment. this study, we investigated three...
