Quorum sensing is known as a communication mechanism among bacteria to control gene expression such bioluminescence, pigmentation, and pathogenicity. quenching inhibition of quorum activity. In order block activity, some produced enzymes which could degrade AHL, AHL-acylase, AHL-lactonase, AHL-oxidase reductase. this study, soil were isolated screened for their These isolates divided into Strep...

This research examined the bacterial loads in intestine, skin and gills of cultured Clarias gariepinus some selected private farms at Eleme, Emohua, Ikwerre, Obio/Akpor Port Harcourt Local Government Areas Rivers State, Nigeria. Determination species characterization fish parts was done using standard microbiological procedures. Results assay showed high count gill, gut from different locations...

Bacillus thuringiensis is the most widely applied biological insecticide and is used to manage insects that affect forestry and agriculture and transmit human and animal pathogens. This ubiquitous spore-forming bacterium kills insect larvae largely through the action of insecticidal crystal proteins and is commonly deployed as a direct bacterial spray. Moreover, plants engineered with the cry g...

The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis capitata, is a pest of worldwide substantial economic importance, as well as a Tephritidae model for sterile insect technique (SIT) applications. The latter is partially due to the development and utilization of genetic sexing strains (GSS) for this species, such as the Vienna 8 strain, which is currently used in mass rearing facilities worldwide....

Approximately 100 million tons of anhydrosugars, such as levoglucosan and cellobiosan, are produced through biomass burning every year. These sugars are also produced through fast pyrolysis, the controlled thermal depolymerization of biomass. While the microbial pathways associated with levoglucosan utilization have been characterized, there is little known about cellobiosan utilization. Here w...
