The catabolic adaptability demonstrated by microorganisms is important in the bioremediation of polluted environments. 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid/α-ketoglutarate dioxygenase is the first enzyme in the catabolic pathway for the 2,4dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). In the present study, dioxygenase enzymes were inducible and the serial adaptation of four studied bacterial isolates steadily ...

background and objectives:infection of pleural fluid is a common disease and because of antibiotic administration, the microbiology of this fluid has changed. the aim of this study was to determine the common bacteria and suitable antibiotics for treatment in pleural effusion (pe). materials and methods: in this cross sectional study, 1210 samples with exudative features were cultured for poss...

despite recent innovations in the laboratory diagnosis of bacterial from nonbacterial meningitis, solid data-necessary for early determination of bacterial meningitis (bm) before organism growth in the culture medium-are missing. therefore cerebrospinal fluid (csf) lactate levels were evaluated as a possible means of differentiating the two clinical entities. this was a retrospective study. pat...

to evaluate the effects of pgpr foliar spraying on forage and grain yield of forage sorghum (var. speedfeed), a farm experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture, university of tehran in 2009. the experimental design consisted of a randomized complete blocks consisting of 17 treatments in every block. in this research, the effect of foliar application of 16 different stra...

A standardized protocol can play a major role in isolation of DNA especially when dealing with bacterial cultures. The aim of the present study was to develop a standard protocol of ultrapure high yield bacterial genomic DNA extraction from bacterial culture suitable for use in molecular biology. Extraction procedure was optimized with series of steps, which involved an unpublished modification...

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency and compare the culture yield of bacterial isolation by conventional and blood culture BACTEC bottle techniques in cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional comparative study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Pathology Department, Bannu Medical College, Bannu, KPK, from January 2012 to December 2013. METHO...

Panama disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense infection on banana is devastating banana plantations worldwide. Biological control has been proposed to suppress Panama disease, though the stability and survival of bio-control microorganisms in field setting is largely unknown. In order to develop a bio-control strategy for this disease, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to assess th...

Background: Bacterial blight pathogen (Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. cyamopsidis) of clusterbean causes considerable damage every year during Kharif season and sometimes become very severe, which results in heavy loss grain yield. Methods: On the basis vitro studies, most effective botanical, antibiotic fungicide at highest concentration were used as individual its combinations field experiment tw...

Yield of streptolysin S (SLS) in streptococcal culture was considerably reduced by procaine, dibucaine, atropine or chlorpromazine at concentrations which scarcely affected production of an extracellular nuclease as well as the bacterial growth. Cerulenin was also inhibitory to SLS formation, but its effect was more pronounced on the nuclease production. By aerobiosis, amount of SLS produced in...

to evaluate the effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) such as azotobacter chroococcum, azospirillum lipoferom and brasilence and pseudomonas fluorescens and nitrogen fertilizer from urea source on yield and yield components of maize (zea mays l.) double cross hybrids (dc 370), a field experiment was carried out in a factorial experiment (5*3) in rcbd with 4 replications. bacter...
