Medium 2 was similar to Medium 1 except for the replacement of sodium lactate by sodium benzoate (0.75 9). Sterile culture flasks (500ml) were filled to the brim with freshly prepared sterile Medium 1 and 2 separately, inoculated with a suspension of freeze-dried Desulfovibrio N.C.I.B. 8399, capped with sterile Suba-Seal rubber stoppers and incubated by total immersion in a water bath at 37°C. ...

Pseudomonas putida is attracted to at least two groups of aromatic acids: a benzoate group and a benzoylformate group. Members of the benzoate group of chemoattractants stimulated the methylation of a P. putida polypeptide with an apparent molecular weight of 60,000 in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. This polypeptide is presumed to be a methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein for severa...

Tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is one of the most destructive pests of tomato in many parts of the world including Iran. The toxicity of emamectin benzoate alone and combined with acetamiprid, eforia (thiamethoxam + lambda-cyhalotrin) and hexaflumuron was evaluated against 2nd instar larvae of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) under 25 ± 1 °C, the relative humidity of ...

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a serious but usually reversible neuropsychiatric complication of cirrhosis, inborn errors of metabolism involving disorders of the urea cycle, and noncirrhotic portosystemic shunting that most commonly arises from a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting procedure. Symptoms can include alterations in cognitive function, neuromuscular activity, and consc...

BACKGROUND Lethal hyperammonemic coma has been reported in 2 adults after lung transplantation. It was associated with a massive elevation of brain glutamine levels, while plasma glutamine levels were normal or only slightly elevated. In liver tissue, glutamine synthetase activity was markedly reduced, and the histologic findings resembled those of Reye syndrome. The adequacy of therapy commonl...

Bioremediation in natural ecosystems is dependent upon the availability of micronutrients and cofactors, of which iron is one of the essential elements. Under aerobic and alkaline conditions, iron oxidizes to Fe(+3) creating iron deficiency. To acquire this essential growth-limiting nutrient, bacteria produce low-molecular-weight, high-affinity iron chelators termed siderophores. In this study,...
