Flavobacterium seoulense strain EM1321(T) is the type strain of Flavobacterium seoulense sp. nov., a proposed novel species within the genus Flavobacterium. This strain is a Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium isolated from stream water in Bukhansan National Park, Seoul. This organism is motile by gliding. Here, we describe the features of Flavobacterium seoulense EM1321(T), t...

Cellulomonas massiliensis strain JC225(T) sp. nov. is the type strain of Cellulomonas massiliensis sp., a new species within the genus Cellulomonas. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from the fecal flora of a healthy Senegalese patient. C. massiliensis is an aerobic rod-shaped bacterium. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome se...

Tetronasin (formerly ICI139603) [l] is a polyether polyketide antibiotic produced during the aerobic growth of the Gram-positive soil organism Streptomyces longisporofluvus. It has been used c o m i a l l y as a cattle food additive where it has been found to improve food utilisation [2] and to combat the onset of acid lactosis [3]. It may well also prove to be commercially viable as an anticwi...

Nocardiosis is an opportunistic, localized or disseminated granulomatous infection caused by an aerobic actinomycete most commonly found in soil, decomposing vegetation, and other organic matter, as well as in fresh and salt water 1. Infection most commonly occurs through the respiratory tract. Manifestations of disease range from cutaneous infection caused by traumatic inoculation of the organ...

The growth of Streptococcus faecalis is inhibited by propionate, and the inhibition is reversed by lipoic acid or acetate. A study of the role of pyruvate oxidation in S. faecalis showed that propionate inhibited the lipoic acid-dependent aerobic oxidation of pyruvate in resting cells. Pyruvate dehydrogenation with neotetrazolium as a hydrogen acceptor in cell-free extracts also required lipoic...

Azotobacter vinelandii is a soil bacterium related to the Pseudomonas genus that fixes nitrogen under aerobic conditions while simultaneously protecting nitrogenase from oxygen damage. In response to carbon availability, this organism undergoes a simple differentiation process to form cysts that are resistant to drought and other physical and chemical agents. Here we report the complete genome ...

The rate of inactivation of metronidazole in vitro was determined during the course of time-kill curves against anaerobic and aerobic bacteria in the stationary phase of growth. Metronidazole at a concentration of 10 mug/ml, as measured by bioassay, was rapidly inactivated in broth culture by susceptible anaerobic bacteria (minimum bactericidal concentration </= 3 mug/ml), and this correlated c...

As a result of the studies of Locke, Main, and Mellon (1938), Fox, German, and Janeway (1939), and others, and the chemical experiments of Shaffer (1939), all of whom have advocated the importance of the presence of oxygen and the formation of hydrogen peroxide as essential to the action of sulfanilamide, interest has developed as to whether sulfanilamide can exert its action on organisms in vi...

Pulmonary ventilation is a mechanical process in which the respiratory muscles act coordination to maintain oxygenation of organism. Any alteration performance these may reduce effectiveness process. The differ from other skeletal vital support that they provide through rhythmiccontractions. structure and energy system are specially adapted perform this function. composition exceptional; small,...

The paper studies the biological properties of film coatings created on basis polysaccharides (xanthan and carboxymethylcellulose) for use in various branches agro-industrial complex. It was found that samples these completely decomposed soil 7 days, did aquatic environment an average 3.5 h. effect organism laboratory animals (rats) studied by adding them to animal feed (experimental group).
