The cilia-associated respiratory (CAR) bacillus is an unclassified, gram-negative, motile bacterium that has been implicated as an etiologic agent of respiratory disease in laboratory rodents. In the present study, approximately 1,200 bases of the 16S rRNA gene from three CAR bacillus isolates were sequenced. CAR bacillus-specific primers were designed on the basis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence...

Studies were carried out on the decolorization of azo dyes by Bacillus species from effluent of textile industries. About 10 bacterial strains were isolated from the effluent of textile industries, Bacillus sp. showed remarkable ability in decolorizing the widely utilized azo dyes. Phenotypic characterization and phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequence comparisons indicate that these s...

Deoxyribonucleic acid-ribonucleic acid (DNA-RNA) and DNA-DNA hybridization studies were performed to determine the degree of genetic relatedness between Sarcina ureae and several members of the genus Bacillus. DNA-RNA hybridization showed a high degree of homology between S. ureae RNA and DNA from Bacillus species having a similar guanine plus cytosine content. The DNA from other genera of the ...

Spores of Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus subtilis were found to exhibit intrinsic paramagnetic properties as a result of the accumulation of manganese ions. All three Bacillus species displayed strong yet distinctive magnetic properties arising from differences in manganese quantity and valency. Manganese ions were found to accumulate both within the spore core as well as be...

Seventy five eye drops samples were collected from different pharmacies in Cairo, Egypt. Out of 75 tested samples, 58 (77.3%) are contaminated with bacterial growth when cultured on MYP medium. The bacterial count ranging from 1.0 CFU/ml to 6.0x10 CFU/ml. The microscopic examination indicated that 2 57 out of 133 isolates are Gram positive, spore forming bacilli. From 58 positive samples 32 sam...

PURPOSE We assessed the safety and efficacy of intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin instillations in steroid treated and immunocompromised patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 697 patients treated with bacillus Calmette-Guerin instillations at our institution from 1991 to 2004. In 24 patients (3.5%) an underlying comorbidity directly affecting the immune ...

results the pcr approved the bacillus genus of the isolates. the strain of bacillus subtilis was identified using biochemical tests. 40 ºc and ph 11 are the optimum condition for maximum keratinase enzyme activity. objectives the aim of this study was the isolation of feather degrading bacillus spp.from a poultry waste and the optimization of conditions for the highest enzyme activity and feath...
