The lipases have ability to catalyze diverse reactions and are important in different biotechnological applications. The aim of this work was to isolate and characterize microorganisms that produce lipases, from different food industry effluents localized in Pelotas, RS/Brazil. Bacteria were identified using Gram stain and biochemical tests (Vitek 2(r)). Fungi were identified according to macro...

ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 4 Number 5 (2015) pp. 172-190 http://www.ijcmas.com Neonatal sepsis is a leading cause of neonatal mortality in developing countries. Identification of the etiological agents of neonatal sepsis is essential for effective treatment. Out of 106 microbial isolates recovered from blood cultures of late onset neonatal sepsis (LONS) patients, only 70 (66 %) isolates were Gram-p...

Ten healthy volunteers received 1 g of BRL-36650, a new formamido-penicillin derivative, given by intravenous infusion over 15 min. Levels in serum were measured microbiologically 30, 60, and 120 min after the start of the 15-min infusion and were (mean +/- standard deviation) 102.7 +/- 28.4, 59.7 +/- 11.5, and 9.6 +/- 1.9 mg/liter, respectively. A total of 10 strains each of Escherichia coli, ...

KCNK subunits have two pore-forming P domains and four predicted transmembrane segments. To assess the number of subunits in each pore, we studied external proton block of Kcnk3, a subunit prominent in rodent heart and brain. Consistent with a pore-blocking mechanism, inhibition was dependent on voltage, potassium concentration, and a histidine in the first P domain (P1H). Thus, at pH 6.8 with ...

A total of 30 bacteria were isolated from the rhizoplane of rice cv. BR29 cultivated in Mymensingh, Bangladesh and from the seedlings obtained from surface-sterilized seeds of BR29. Upon screening, 6 isolates showed varying levels of phosphate solubilizing activity in both agar plate and broth assays using National Botanical Research Institute's phosphate medium. The bacterial isolates were ide...

background clinical significance of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (esbls) production in enterobacter spp. has not well been established. objectives this study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of esbls produced by enterobacter spp. in clinical isolates. materials and methods this descriptive cross-sectional study was performed during may 2010 to april 2012 in the city of sanandaj,...

Kronična bubrežna bolest je dei nirana smanjenjem bubrežne funkcije dulje od tri mjeseca i klasii cirana je prema stupnju smanjenja glomerularne i ltracije (GF) u pet stadija (1,2). U petom stadiju su bolesnici s klirensom kreatinina ispod 15 mL/min/1,73 m, s liječenjem dijalizom ili bez liječenja dijalizom. Osim smanjenja GF, KBB često prate i drugi poremećaji kao što su: gubitak proteina urin...

Biological uranium reduction was investigated using bacteria isolated from a uranium mine in Limpopo, South Africa. Background uranium concentration in soil from the mine was determined to be 168 mgkg(-1) much higher than the typical background uranium concentration in natural soils (0.30-11.7 mgkg(-1)). Therefore it was expected that the bacteria isolated from the site were resistant to U(VI) ...
