Each of 22 isolates of Candida albicans was induced to produce aerial hyphae by culturing on a solid medium containing a peptone, acid-hydrolyzed casein, soluble starch, and agar in an atmosphere of 10% CO(2) at 37 C and room temperatures. Production of aerial hyphae is not diagnostic for C. albicans. Some of the other species of Candida may also produce such structures.

In this paper, a plate confrontation method was used to isolate bacteria antagonistic to the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea from samples collected from China's Dalian Bay. The antagonist strain LM-031 was obtained. We studied this strain's morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics and analyzed its 16S rDNA sequence. We compared the effects of different culture condition...

The ability of certain members of the Aerobacter genus to ferment acetyl-methyl-carbinol is indicated by their transitory Voges-Proskauer reactions. These strains produce acetylmethyl-carbinol from glucose and, consequently, yield positive Voges-Proskauer reactions after incubation for from one to three days in Clark and Lubs' medium (1915). When incubation is continued for longer periods, howe...

The reliability of xylan fermentation in distinguishing Bacteroides ovatus from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron was examined with strains previously identified by DNA homology studies or bacteriophage sensitivity testing or both. All of the 12 B. ovatus strains produced acid ranging from pH 5.0 to 5.6 in peptone-yeast-xylan broth; none of the 19 B. thetaiotaomicron strains produced acid, and the f...

hour 23 (rabeprazole 100% vs. omeprazole 74%,. P < 0.02). Conclusions: Rabeprazole, 20 mg, demonstrated superior control of peptone mealstimulated . Comparison of rabeprazole 20 mg vs. omeprazole 20 mg in the treatment of. . new PPIs rabeprazole, pantoprazole and lansoprazole compared to omeprazole. Nov 1, 2007. Four studies of pantoprazole (Protonix) 40 mg versus omeprazole. Two studies of rab...

Aspergillus niger was used for cellulase production in submerged (SmF) and solid state fermentation (SSF). The maximum production of cellulase was obtained after 72 h of incubation in SSF and 96 h in Smf. The CMCase and FPase activities recorded in SSF were 8.89 and 3.56 U per g of dry mycelial bran (DBM), respectively. Where as in Smf the CMase & FPase activities were found to be 3.29 and 2.3 ...

Although the milk-clotting action of papain has been recognized for many years, this property of the enzyme has received little quantitative attention. It appears to be, however, a characteristic property of the proteolytic component of this enzyme system. Various workers have brought forth evidence as to the composite nature of the papain system, which has at least two components. In the most ...

The acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor of Yarrowia lipolytica S-3 was maximally produced when it was incubated at 30℃ for 36 h in an optimal medium containing 1% yeast extract, 2% peptone and 2% glucose, with an initial pH 6.0. The final AChE inhibitory activity under these conditions was an IC50 value of 64 mg/ml. After partial purification of the AChE inhibitor by means of systematic solve...

This study investigated the cultural characteristics of Shimizuomyces paradoxus in different nutritional and environmental conditions. The highest mycelial growth was observed in Schizophyllum (mushroom) genetics complete medium plus yeast extract agar medium, and the optimal temperature and pH were 25℃ and pH 8.0, respectively. The optimal carbon and nitrogen sources were 1% dextrose and 1% pe...
