Introduction: Pyrene and phenanthrene are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are priority pollutants. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of isolated bacteria from stabilized compost‌ for biodegradation of pyrene and phenanthrene from soil contaminated with municipal solid waste leachate. Materials and Methods: In this study, phenanthrene and pyrene were selected as prior...

We report here a sequence of the genome of the Streptomyces fradiae ATCC 19609 strain, initially isolated from the soil, which produces tylosin. S. fradiae is highly sensitive to different classes of antibiotics, compared to the sensitivities of other bacteria. We have identified 9 groups of genes directly or indirectly involved in the resistome formation.

background: shigellosis is a leading cause of diarrhea in many developing countries and although the disease can be controlled and managed with antibiotics, the constant emergence of resistant species requiring ever newer antibacterial drugs make development of an effective vaccine necessary. the bacteria are highly contagious and since immunity to shigella is serotype-specific a multi-serotype...

lactic acid bacteria are characterized as gram-positive, usually non-motile, non-sporulating bacteria that produce lactic acid as a major or sole product of their fermentative metabolism. in this study, the presence of lactobacilli were investigated in the intestines of beluga ( huso huso) and persian sturgeon ( acipenser persicus ), inhabiting caspian sea. the obtained data showed that various...

as Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and Staphylococcus that appropriate disinfection can reduce these pathogens. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different disinfectants on Gram-negative bacteria isolated from the surface of accidents and burn hospital in Yazd. Materials and Methods: In this study, 240 samples were randomly collected from different parts of acciden...

Introduction: In both poor and developed countries, chronic suppurative otitis media affects 1-46 percent of the population. The incidence is much higher in Indonesia due to various factors, including sanitation, low socio-economic nutritional status, high population density. To reduce occurrence media, an adequate treatment required. Purpose: study was identify bacteria that cause ciprofloxaci...

linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (labs) is an anionic surfactant widely used all over the world. they will eventually end-up and accumulate in household or industrial sewage. due to their high foaming capabilities which can cause numerous problems in sewage treatment facilities as well as direct toxic effects on many different organisms in ecosystem they are generally considered as serious polluta...

polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp) and phylogenetic analysis were used for molecular identification of lactic acid bacteria (labs) isolated from apis mellifera. eighteen honeybee workers were collected from three different apiaries in west azerbaijan. labs from the gut of honeybees were isolated and cultured using routine biochemical procedures. ge...
