A feasibility study was conducted to evaluate the capability of bacterial strains to degrade crude oil under in vitro conditions. Pseudomonas strain PS-I could degrade alkanes (70.69%) and aromatics (45.37%). Alkanes and aromatic fractions separated by column chromatography were analyzed by gas chromatography. In case of Pseudomonas strain PS-I, nC17/Pr, nC18/Ph ratios decreased from 2.5100 to ...

conclusions the rabies virus np could be extracted and purified in an appropriate amount from infected cell culture. the results of sds-page analysis showed that the intact rabies virus np had been purified properly and thus could be used for further steps to produce the specific diagnostic rabies conjugate. results the volume of the lysate was 15 ml and it became 2.5 ml after purification, wit...

Time scales of turbulent strain activity, denoted as the strain persistence times of first and second order, are obtained from time-dependent expectation values and correlation functions of Lagrangian rate-of-strain eigenvalues taken in particularly defined statistical ensembles. Taking into account direct numerical simulation data, our approach relies on heuristic closure hypotheses which allo...

background and objectives: avian tuberculosis is one of the most important infections affecting most species of birds. mycobacterium avium can not only infect all species of birds, but also infect some domesticated mammals.the most crucial aspect of control and eradication scheme is identification of infection sources and transmission routs. mo- lecular techniques such as restriction fragment l...

OBJECTIVES To clarify the prognostic value of strain and strain rate imaging in light-chain (AL) amyloidosis. BACKGROUND Myocardial strain and strain rate Doppler imaging are objective measurements that may detect regional subtle myocardial functional abnormalities in patients with amyloidosis. METHODS We prospectively examined 119 consecutive, untreated patients with biopsy-proven AL amylo...

BACKGROUND At present the mumps virus strain used for production of mumps vaccine for our local use is Hoshino strain. However, according to our National public health policies, this strain should be replaced with a safer strain. Based on our previous data, the Iranian mumps strain; RS-12 has been proved to be the most suitable alternative to Hoshino strain with little or no adverse events foll...

RATIONALE High-sensitivity in vivo phenotyping of cardiac function is essential for evaluating genes of interest and novel therapies in small animal models of cardiovascular disease. Transthoracic echocardiography is the principal method currently used for assessing cardiac structure and function; however, standard echocardiographic techniques are relatively insensitive to early or subtle chang...

A real-time PCR assay using a 3'-Minor Groove Binding (MGB) probe was developed for specific detection and monitoring of Candida oleophila (strain O), a biocontrol agent against Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum, on harvested apples. The application of the RAPD technique on C. oleophila strains followed by reproducible sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) amplifications allowe...
