The metabolism of chenodeoxycholic acid by Pseudomonas sp. NCIB 10590 under strict anaerobic conditions was studied. A range of unsaturated acidic and neutral metabolites were isolated and identified. The major acidic product was chola-4,6-dien-3-one-24-oic acid whilst the major neutral product was androsta-4,6-dien-3,17-dione. The major acidic products were 7 alpha-hydroxy-5 beta-cholan-3-oxo-...

Dibutyl phthalate is (DBP) the top priority toxicant responsible for carcinogenicity, teratogenicity and endocrine disruption. This study demonstrates the DBP degradation capability of the two newly isolated bacteria from municipal solid waste leachate samples. The isolated bacteria were designated as Pseudomonas sp. V21b and Comamonas sp. 51F after scanning electron microscopy, transmission el...

3 that is not improved by bioaugmentation with Pseudomonas sp. ADP. ABSTRACT 1 2 AIMS: To study biological removal of the herbicide simazine in soils with different history of 3 herbicide treatment and to test bioaugmentation with a simazine degrading bacterial strain. 5 soils that had been differentially exposed to this herbicide. Simazine removal was much 6 higher in previously exposed soils ...

Tissue factor (TF), the cell surface receptor and cofactor for factor VIIa (FVIIa), is considered the major physiologic trigger of the coagulation cascade. Most monoclonal antibodies to TF have been reported to inhibit TF activity by blocking association of FVII(a) with TF. Using solution-phase kinetic analyses, we have reexamined two strongly inhibitory anti-TF monoclonal antibodies (TF8-11D12...

Present work is a prospective study on UTI infected diabetic patients from Bangalore region, molecular character and antimicrobial susceptibility of Pseudomonas sp. infections. Among seventy seven samples, 10 % were identified as Pseudomonas sp. are isolated on C-TAB agar media and confirmed by morphological and biochemical tests. On testing antimicrobial activity by well diffusion methods, all...

Synthetic extreme environments like carwash effluent tanks and drains are potential sources of biotechnologically important microorganisms and molecules which have, however, remained unexplored. Using culture- and molecular-based methods, a total of 17 bacterial isolates belonging to the genera Shewanella, Proteus, Paenibacillus, Enterobacter and Citrobacter, Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and Pantoea ...
