Background: Lactic acid bacteria play a key role in sourdough fermentation. Lactobacilli are the most important group of lactic acid bacteria in sourdough. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to identify Lactobacillus strains in Iranian traditional wheat sourdoughs as a basis for further studies on the technological applications in the production of typical breads. Methods: Fourtee...

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...

mycorrhizal status of pistachio seedling in kerman province in regard to region and some soil properties and also symbiotic potential of sorghum, clover and onion isolates with pistachio seedling were evaluated in this research. 72 samples of pistachio nurseries and 67 samples of sorghum, clover and onion farms were gathered from kerman province and mycorrhizal colonization percent of their roo...

The diversity of archaeal strains from six hypersaline environments in Turkey was analyzed by comparing their phenotypic characteristics and 16S rDNA sequences. Thirty-three isolates were characterized in terms of their phenotypic properties including morphological and biochemical characteristics, susceptibility to different antibiotics, and total lipid and plasmid contents, and finally compare...

the severe epidemics of fusarium head blight (fhb) as a devastating disease of cereal crops has occurred on wheat in north and northwest iran in recent years. the in vitro production of deoxynivalenol (don) was qualitatively evaluated in 41 fusarium isolates collected from wheat heads associated with the scab disease, in moghan area/northwest iran. infected wheat heads were collected during 200...

gibberella fujikuroi the cause of rice bakanae disease and foot rot is one of the important seed-borne diseases in guilan province. three fusarium species including fusarium proliferatum, fusarium verticillioides and fusarium fujikuroi have been reported as the casual agents of rice bakanae disease from all over the world. these three species belonged to three mating population a, c and d that ...

Strawberry anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum species is an important disease that may cause significant economic losses. Based on multilocus sequence analyses and morphological characteristics, 64 isolates from strawberry samples collected nine Chinese provinces municipalities were identified as three species: fructicola (29 isolates), siamense (23 nymphaeae (12 isolates). Isolates of C. sho...

71 samples of milk and dairy products were collected from 18 cities throughout Iran. 93 strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated and assayed against four opportunistic patho gens including E. coli, proteus and klebsiella as gram-negative and S. aureus as a gram-positive organism. All indicators (organisms) were hospital strains. Among isolated bacteria, lactobacilli (37 isolates)...
