In the present work, six bacterial isolates capable of degrading chlorpyrifos (an organophosphorus pesticide) were obtained by enrichment from soil samples collected from the cultivated fields of Rajkot district of Gujarat State. The isolates were capable of growing in the presence of chlorpyrifos, in the concentration range of 60-100 mg/L. The highest value of MIC (100 mg/L) was reported for b...

Shot hole disease of stone fruit trees, caused by Wilsonomyces carpophilus (Lév.) Adaskaveg, Ogawa & Butler(= Stigmina carpophila (Lév.) M.B. Ellis and Coryneum beijerinckii Oud.) is a serious disease of Prunus species in West Azerbaijan province. The pathogen was obtained from infected leaves, fruits and twigs of Prunus orchards during spring and summer of 2007. Samples were cultured on PDA, M...

In a study on coprophilous fungi, different samples including cow, sheep and horse dung and mouse feces were collected from different locations in West and East Azarbaijan provinces (NW Iran). Isolation of the fungi was done based on moist chamber culture method. Purification of the isolated fungi was done by single spore culture method. Several fungal taxa were obtained. Identification of the ...

In this study, we report some endophytic fungi isolated from twigs of Quercus brantii in Dena region of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province. The twigs were sampled from trees which had basidiocarps of the invasive basidiomycetous polypore fungus Inonotus krawtzewii on their trunk. Altogether, ca. 40 pure isolates were obtained. The ITS sequences were obtained for 16 isolates, and their phylogen...

Abstract This study aimed to determine the characteristics of lactic acid bacterial isolates (LAB) from fresh laor worms. LAB isolation was carried out by using a multilevel dilution technique with 0.9% NaCl diluent then grown on MRS Agar media 1% CaCO 3 added and incubated at 37°C for 48 hours. research descriptive methods morphological characterization biochemical tests isolates. The total wo...

Background: Members of this genus Aureobasidium are ubiquitous microorganisms which can be isolated from wide ranges of substrates such as plant materials (phyllosphere, plant debris, bark, roots, fruits and wood), soil, dead wood, air, and as rare etiologic agent of pheohyphomycosis, keratomycosis, septicemia, peritoneal sepsis, and dermatological infections in human. Very little is known on t...

Highlights:1. Bacteria remain a major cause of bacterial sepsis.2. The most common causal agent in septicaemia was the gram-positive bacterium. Abstract: Background: primary sepsis. Gram-negative bacteria are commonly isolated from sepsis patients. However, infections have also increased recently. Objective: To identify pattern infection patients Internal Medicine inpatient ward Dr. Soetomo Gen...
