BACKGROUND Biosurfactants are surface-active compounds produced by some microorganisms. OBJECTIVES In this study, we collected surface skin samples from breast of poultry (chicken, turkey, and, quail) and screened for biosurfactant-producing bacteria. We also determined the genera of cultured strains. MATERIALS AND METHODS 33 hemolytic bacterial strains (15, 11, and 7 isolates from chicken,...

The responsiveness of job creation to shocks is procyclical, while the destruction countercyclical. This new finding can be explained by a heterogeneous-firm model in which hiring costs lead lumpy employment adjustment. predicts that policies aim stimulate encouraging creation, such as subsidies, are significantly less effective recessions: these times when few firms near their thresholds and m...

We provide evidence of the stock market consumption wealth effect by using a local labor analysis. An increase in driven aggregate prices increases employment and payroll nontradable industries total, with no on tradable industries. In model geographic heterogeneity wealth, these responses imply an MPC 3.2 cents per year that 20 percent valuations, unless countered monetary policy, bill at leas...
