Objective: Tampa Bay Area is an estuary and thus has varying levels of salinity, so it become imperative to determine whether or not the leading combat strategy (clay flocculation) HABs effective under these differing conditions. Method: experiment was conducted that measured settling rates Kaolin clay at salinity (0, 17.5, 30, 45 Parts Per Thousand) within range Karenia Brevis. Results: There ...

This study was conducted to determine the antimicrobial effect of Lactic acid bacteria on food-borne pathogens isolated from some fruits sold in Ibadan, Nigeria. Lactobacillus species healthy include L. casei, brevis, desidosus, jenseni, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Fructilactobacillus spp. while Aeromonas hydrophylia, Enterobacter aerogene, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhii, Shigella dy...

The glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activities for the type strains of Prevotella ruminicola (strain 23), Prevotella brevis (strain GA33), and Prevotella bryantii (strain B(1)4) were assessed by a combination of enzyme assays and analysis of migration patterns of GDH proteins following nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Unlike results with most other prokaryotes, but similar to res...

We investigated the synergic anti-inflammatory activity of Gleditsia sinensis Lam. (GS) extract and Lactobacillus brevis KY21 both in vitro and in vivo. Western blot analysis and immunostaining showed that AKT phosphorylation that increased by the exposure of LPS were significantly decreased by the presence of either GS extract or L. brevis KY21. In addition, p65 intracellular transport was cri...

Congenital absence of the abductor pollicis brevis is a very rare condition and is usually associated with other congenital anomalies. Here we report a case of bilateral congenital absence of the abductor pollicis brevis without any other abnormalities, which has not been previously reported. A 24-year-old Caucasian male patient presented to our clinic with flattening in the palmar region, pain...

Since the isolation of tyrothricin from cultures of Bacillus brevis (Dubos, 1939), numerous papers have appeared dealing with the chemical and biological properties of this bactericidal agent and its components, gramicidin and tyrocidine (Hotchkiss and Dubos, 1940; Dubos and Hotchkiss, 1941; Tishler, Stokes, Trenner and Conn, 1941; Christensen, Edwards and Piersma, 1941; Lipmann, Hotchkiss and ...

The dinoflagellate Karenia brevis is responsible for nearly annual red tides in the Gulf of Mexico that cause extensivemarinemortalities and human illness due to the production of brevetoxins. Although the mechanisms regulating its bloom dynamics and toxicity have received considerable attention, investigation into these processes at the cellular and molecular level has only begun in earnest du...
