Penicillin-induced spheroplasts from Escherichia coli and Proteus vulgaris, which at neutral pH had little resistance to osmotic lysis, retained viability in media of low osmolality at pH 5.0 to 5.5. In the presence of 1,000 IU of penicillin per ml (pH 5.0) in liquid media, E. coli remained in rod form without conspicuous growth. On hypotonic agar media at pH 5.2 with 1,000 IU of penicillin per...

A molecular manipulation efforts were made at β carbon of α, β unsaturated site of nalidixic acid by Michael addition, in expectation to get newer chemimanipulated derivatives with potent/modified antimicrobial spectrum. At the ends of chemimanipulative work, totally 5 derivatives were synthesized and characterized by spectral data. All the derivatives were screened for its antibacterial activi...

The use of medicinal plants for the treatment of various diseases is an old practice in most countries and it still offers an enormous potential source of new anti-infective agents. The present study was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Wattakaka volubilis leaf extract. Antimicrobial activity of Wattakaka volubilis methanol extract is determined by disc diffusion method . The...

Equipment maintenance is an essential need for successful industrial enterprises. Several software applications are used today for initiation and management of maintenance activities. This paper introduces the PROTEUS integration platform for cooperative interactions between maintenance applications. It is necessary to define the order of these interactions, the so-called business logic workflo...

At an intertidal site on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, the abundance of the invasive barnacle Chthamalus proteus was negatively correlated with abundance of the native limpet Siphonaria normalis. As the substratum at this site was a conglomerate of materials, we hypothesized that the observed pattern was the result of differences in substratum preferences, and/or negative interactions between the...

The present study aimed at analyzing the antibacterial efficacy of Mirabilis jalapa against different enteric bacteria includes Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Salmonella typhi, Shigella flexineri and Enterobacter aerogenes. Aqueous, Ethanolic, and hexane extracts of Mirabilis jalapa at the concentrations of 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 mg were prepared for this study. The antioxidant proper...

N-nitrosodimethylamine, a potent carcinogen, was produced by three strains each of Proteus mirabilis, P. morganii, and P. rettgeri, but not by three strains of P. vulgaris grown under the same conditions. Many of the alkaline-extractable volatile metabolites elaborated by these organisms are the same, but there are some qualitative and quantitative differences among species. Representative gas-...

Egg lysolecithin induces intercellular adhesion of Amoeba proteus. Pre-treatment of cells with Vibrio cholerae neuraminidase (VCN) increases the adhesive property of cells as was evidenced in their formation of larger cell aggregates than controls. A possible role of VCN exposed receptor sites in cellular adhesion is suggested.
