Postgate, John R. (University of Illinois, Urbana) and L. Leon Campbell. Identification of Coleman's sulfate-reducing bacterium as a mesophilic relative of Clostridium nigrificans. J. Bacteriol. 86:274-279. 1963.-Coleman's sulfate-reducing bacterium is immunologically and morphologically similar to Clostridium nigrificans and unlike Desulfovibrio species. It is not thermophilic and does not acq...

A chitinase gene from the thermophilic fungus, Thermomyces lanuginosus was amplified from the genomic DNA of the fungus, by PCR technique. The PCR product was cloned into pXcmkn12 vector by TA cloning technique and sequenced. The gene contained five introns and six exons. The deduced protein sequence coded for 390 amino acids and exhibited very high degree of similarity to other endochitinases ...

The article considers the influence of physical methods disinfection on complex microorganisms grain food raw materials. Various are considered - chemical, biological and physical, their reduction microflora. classification microflora cereal crops, quality indicators vegetable materials have been studied. When exposed to microwave energy grain, most optimal modes were identified in terms temper...

abstract in composting process for the white button mushroom, in addition to chemical reactions of complex compounds present in straw, which provide simple compounds for the mushroom, thermophilic microorganisms, having accumulated n2 and inorganic matter during the composting processes, offer the microbial biomass as a secondary nutritional source to be consumed by the fungus agaricus bisporus...

Thermophilic actinomycetes, associated with a hypersensitivity pneumonitis, may be found in compost but also have been detected in heating systems of office buildings. This study was designed to determine whether these organisms were present in residential heating systems. Furnace dust or humidifier water of 12 of 20 homes contained thermophilic actinomycetes, indicating that the organisms may ...

the goal of this research was to isolate and identify the thermostable alkaline protease producing bacteria among several native iranian microorganisms. at the end of screening program, a bacillus subtilis bp-36 strain producing thermophilic alkaline protease was isolated from a hot spring in ardebil province. the target enzyme was purified using a one-step aqueous two-phase systems (atps) prot...

the major purpose of this study was isolation, identification and antimicrobial susceptibility of thermophilic campylobacter spp. from different sources including domestic animals (cow, sheep, horses), poultry, river water and sewage in tonekabon. campylobacter spp. was isolated using prêt-kb method and identified by phenotyping tests. antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates against differ...

background: screening is a routine procedure for isolation of microorganisms which are able to produce special metabolites. purified thermostable α-amylase from bacterial sources is widely used in different industries. in this study we analyzed samples collected from three different hot springs in iran to detect any strains capable of producing thermostable α-amylase. materials and methods: hot...

Fat waste discarded from butcheries was used as a cosubstrate in the anaerobic codigestion of sewage sludge (SS). The process was evaluated under mesophilic and thermophilic conditions. The codigestion was successfully attained despite some inhibitory stages initially present that had their origin in the accumulation of volatile fatty acids (VFA) and adsorption of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA)....

The thermophilic islolates of Mangho-pir spring water were of bacillary forms. All were gram positive, sporing rods, varying in sugar reactions; one being non saccharolytic, two monosaccharolytic, one disaccharolytic and nine fermented four or more sugars. All belonged to genus Bacillus of family Bacillaceae. All were found to be thermophilic varieties of ter-ristrial mesophilic species of genu...
