Solutions of biologically active substances insoluble in water (thiosulfoesters, anthraquinone derivatives, pyrazoline) were obtained using a combined solvent and biogenic surfactants. For this purpose used rhamnolipids, their biocomplex with polysaccharides synthesized by the Pseudomonas SP strain. PS-17, trehalosolipids Rhodococcus erythropolis AU-1 strain, commercial biosurfactant surfactant...

This is a report of the complete genome sequence of the goatpox virus strain Gorgan, which was obtained directly from a commercial live attenuated vaccine (Caprivac, Jordan Bio-Industries Centre).

We report here the complete genome sequence of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki strain HD-1, which serves as the primary U.S. reference standard for all commercial insecticidal formulations of B. thuringiensis manufactured around the world.

background and aims: avian metapneumovirus (ampv) is rna virus responsible for upper respiratory disease in poultry which is usually accompanied by secondary bacterial infections. in iran, some molecular and serological studies indicated that ampv infection occurred in commercial poultry industry. materials and methods: in this study ampv was molecularly identified and characterized in an affec...

Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is the etiologic agent of classical swine fever, a highly contagious disease that causes significant economic losses to the swine industry. The lapinized C-strain, a widely used vaccine strain against CSFV, has low growth efficiency in cell culture, which limits the productivity in the vaccine industry. In this study, a recombinant virus derived from C-strain ...

In order to control the H9N2 subtype low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI), an inactivated vaccine has been used in Korea since 2007. The Korean veterinary authority permitted the use of a single H9N2 LPAI vaccine strain to simplify the evolution of the circulating virus due to the immune pressure caused by the vaccine use. It is therefore important to determine the suitability of the vaccine s...

Larson, A. D. (Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge), L. V. Hattier, and C. S. McCleskey. Volatile fatty acid requirement of a strain of Listeria monocytogenes. J. Bacteriol. 89:819-824. 1965.-Listeria monocytogenes strain 2 requires either isobutyric or 2-methylbutyric acid for growth. Elucidation of this requirement began with characterization of the growth-enhancing substance in culture f...

Strain Rv6, a streptomycin-independent reverse mutant of Salmonella abortus-ovis, multiplied and disseminated in vivo to a lesser extent than the virulent parental strain 15/5, as determined by subcutaneous inoculation of two outbred strains of mice with different susceptibilities to salmonella infection. This lower virulence of strain Rv6 was not modified by 10 passages in susceptible mice. Va...

This is a report of the complete genome sequences of plaque-selected isolates of each of the five virus strains included in a South African commercial trivalent bluetongue virus (BTV) attenuated live virus vaccine, a BTV-4 field strain isolated from Rustenburg, South Africa, in 2011, and a bluetongue reassortant (bluetongue virus 4 strain 4/O. aries-tc/ZAF/11/OBP-115) isolated from experimental...

From soils contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) a strain of Alcaligenes sp. able to grow in a mineral medium with a commercial mixture of PCBs as carbon source was isolated. This strain consumed up to 200 ppm in seven days in laboratory conditions. After 24 h of incubation, some new congeners of PCBs could be recognized by mass spectrometry. Through the identification of these com...
