the removal of disulfide oil (dso) from contaminated soil was studied by the bioremediation method and the influence of electrokinetic on the bioremediation process was investigated. the bacillus subtilis strain was used in the bioremediation process. the effects of humidity, time and dso concentration in soil was studied. the experimental results for the bioremediation of dso show, the removal...

      The essential oils of fresh fruits and terminal branches with adherent leaves of Cupressus sempervirens L. and C. horizentalis Mill., growing in Iran, were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. The oils were also screened for bacteriostatic and fungistatic activities. Thirteen and ten components were identified in the essential oils of C. semperv...

A cloned chemotaxis operon has been characterized. Thirteen representative che mutations from different complementation groups were localized on the physical map by recombination experiments. The use of integration plasmids established that at least 10 of these complementation groups within this locus are cotranscribed. An additional three complementation groups may form part of the same transc...

During the last 10 years the subject of bacterial spore germination has been intensively investigated. In most of these studies it has been found that bacterial spores are capable of germination under conditions which do not permit the germinated form to survive (Schmidt, 1955; Stedman, 1956). Hills (1949) pointed out that a distinction must be drawn between the requirements for germination and...

Bacillus subtilis has found to respond the signals of environmental and metabolic stress by inducing over 40 general stress genes which are under the control of the sigma B transcription factor. Sigma B is an alternative sigma-factor in Bacillus subtilis. It mediates the response of the cell to a variety of physical insults. General stress response of Bacillus subtilis is regulated directly by ...

In the present study 10 bacterial isolates were isolated from the three different-different places soil sample by serial dilution and agar plate technique. These bacterial isolated colony were identified on the basis of colony morphology given by Bergey’smanual method and named as MJKS01 to MJKS10. Screening of the colony for the cellulolytic activity was done on the MAM (minimal agar medium) s...

A CONSIDERABLE number of cases of panophthalmitis attributed to the Bacillus subtilis have now been recorded (Poplawska, 1891; R6mer, 1901; Frangois, 1934; Greenspon, 1918; Motolese, 1936; Reese and Khorazo, 1943). In these cases the organism had an exogenous origin and entered the eye through a perforating wound or post-operatively. Davenport and Smith (1952) suggest that many cases of panopht...

Chemical modification of α-amylase from locale bacteria isolate Bacillus subtilis ITBCCB148 using citraconic anhydride has been performed. increase thermal stability of the enzyme has successfully been done. The results showed that the modified enzymes with citraconic anhydride with modification degree of 45, 73, 82, 83, and 88% have similar optimum pH of 5.5 and optimum temperature of 60°C; ki...

An extracellular α-amylase from Bacillus subtilis KIBGEHAS was partially purified by ultrafiltration and ammonium sulphate precipitation with 19.2-fold purification and specific activity of 4195 U/mg. The enzyme showed relatively high thermostability and retained 62% of its activity when kept at 70°C for 15 min. α -Amylase was highly stable at −18°C and loss of activity was very low during stab...

A phage, designated CP-51, that carries out generalized transduction in Bacillus cereus and B. anthracis, has recently been isolated from soil. Transducing phages for members of the genus Bacillus have been described previously for B. subtilis and B. licheniformis (2-6). Those that have been best characterized are PBS-1 for B. subtilis (4) and SP-10 and SP-15 for both B. subtilis and B. licheni...
