Streptomyces azureus ATCC 14921 belongs to the Streptomyces cyaneus cluster and is known to be a thiostrepton producer. Here, we report a draft genome sequence for this strain, consisting of 350 contigs containing a total of 8,790,525 bp, 8,164 predicted coding sequences, and a G+C content of 70.9%.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are gram positive and non- spore forming bacteria that can produce some special substances for growth inhibition of pathogenic, non-pathogenic and food spoilage bacteria. The aim of this study was to determine the inhibitory effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus PTCC1643 (DSM 20079) and Lactobacillus plantarum PTCC 1058 (ATCC 8014) cultural supernatants against urinary...

A new species of the Bryophila (Scythobrya) salomonis species-group, B. kaszabi sp. n. is described. A diagnostic comparison is made with B. miltophaea Hampson, 1908 and B. plumbeola Staudinger, 1881. Adults, male and female genitalia of the new and related species are illustrated.

High rosmarinic acid (RA) productivity has been achieved by applying jasmonic acid and yeast extract elicitors to the in vitro sprout culture of Orthosiphon aritatus (IOSC). The highest RA accumulation from three solvents was detected in IOSC after treatment with yeast extract (5 g/L). HPLC analysis clearly confirmed a drastic increase in RA subjected to yeast extract elicitation. Therefore, th...

It has been previously demonstrated that the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity of Acanthamoeba myosin II is inhibited by phosphorylation of its two heavy chains (Collins, J. H., and Korn, E. D. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 8011-8014). In this paper, it is shown that a partially purified kinase preparation from Acanthamoeba catalyzes the incorporation of 3 mol of phosphate into each mole of myo...

The value of yATP [10.5 + 2 g (dry weight) of cells/mole of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)] introduced by T. Bauchop and S. R. Elsden (J. Gen. Microbiol. 23:457, 1960) has been employed in numerous studies of microbial energy metabolism. J. Senez (Bacteriol. Rev. 26:95, 1962) has presented a detailed account of the concept and its assumptions. M. S. Oxenburgh and A. M. Snoswell (J. Bacteriol. 89:...

In this study, the antibacterial activity of essential oil obtained from seeds two coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) cultivars (Gürbüz and Arslan) extracts seeds, leaves stems with methanol ethanol against 7 Gram-positive (Escherichia coli ATCC®25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC®9027, Salmonella typhimurium ATCC®14028, Serratia marcescens ATCC®13880, Proteus vulgaris ATCC®6380, Enterobacter clo...
