Experimental evidence has been presented that the host-grown, hitherto noncultivated mycobacteria, M. leprae and M. lepraemurium are metabolically competent microorganisms (1. 5.6. X. II . 12. 14). They are provided with a complete and functional tricarboxylic acid cycle and electron transport chain. We also described ( 5.6. 10. II . JJ) that M . leprae and M. lepraemurium have the capacity to ...

The increase in the number of investigations into biomedical interactions with structured substrates has produced a necessity for transparent, microand nanostructured surfaces. To facilitate research, it must be possible to use these structured surfaces in conjunction with established culturing and imaging apparatus available within a biomedical laboratory. Such surfaces can be produced using a...

PISANO, M. A. (St. John's University, Jamaica, N.Y.), W. S. OLENIACZ, R. T. MASON, A. I. FLEISCHMAN, S. E. VACCARO, AND G. R. CATALANO. Enzyme production by species of Cephalosporium. Appl. Microbiol. 11:111-115. 1963.-The culture filtrates of ten species of Cephalospor?um, which had been grown under conditions of submerged culture, were tested for enzymatic activity against each of seven subst...

Owing to their superior catalytic activity in the extreme conditions, extremozymes have found the potential biotechnological applications for industrial purposes. A robust extracellular protease activity was detected in the culture broth of Salicola marasensis, an extreme halophilic bacterium, after a 48 h-incubation. The effect of different media ingredients in a liquid state fermentation was ...

In this study, silver nanoparticles were chemically synthesized and deposited on glass substrates using a reducing agent of sucrose, at 50°C. Different characterizations including atomic force microscopy (AFM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and Raman spectroscopy were obtained to study silvery substrates. Then, the silvery substrates were used as the SERS substrates to de...
