When fresh whole leaves of six different species of forage legumes were suspended in an artificial rumen medium and inoculated with rumen bacteria, bacterial adhesion and proliferation were noted at the stomata, and penetration of the stomate by these bacteria was documented by electron microscopy. The invading bacteria adhered to surfaces within the intercellular space of the leaf and produced...

Ultrastructural studies of Rhizobium-induced infection threads in clover root hairs show that the infection thread is initiated by an invagination process. Root hair wall growth is redirected at a localized point, resulting in the formation of an open pore. There is no direct penetration through the wall, and the bacteria remain extracellular within the root hair.

The Streptococcus milleri group (SMG) comprises commensal mucosal bacteria. Pyogenic liver abscesses due to hematogenous SMG infection are rare but can be observed even in healthy patients. In such cases, physicians should consider the existence of primary lesions that allow penetration of the SMG.

One of the most valid and efficient models of long rod projectile penetration in homogeneous targets is Tate and Alekseevskii’s (A&t) model. Based on Tate’s model, the present research tries to calculate the optimum speeds to achieve the maximum penetration depth in the homogeneous targets. The proposed collision speed-penetration depth diagrams are developed using Tate’s model. In this way, va...

background: escherichia coli (e. coli) is the most frequent infecting organism in acute infection. so, knowledge about the frequency and distribution of urinary tract infection (uti) is important to improve infection control measures. the aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of bacteria isolated from urinary tract infection (uti) in patients and determination of the antibiotic s...

behaviors of simultaneous removal of no and so2 using the coculture of anaerobic denitrifying bacteria and sulfate reducing bacteria were investigated in a bench-scale biotrickling-filter. approximate 20 days were required to use the landfill leachate as the microbial seed to develop the biofilm on the surface of packing material. when the combined no/so2 removal biotrickling-filter was operate...

alkaline phosphatase (ortho phosphate, monoester hydrolase phosphoinositide e. c. 3.1.3.1) is a non-specific metalloproteinase enzyme that is located inside periplasmic space of bacteria. this enzyme is used to measure freshwater sediment in genetic engineering for cleaning water. isolation and molecular identification of the bacteria producing alkaline phosphatase and comparison of its product...
