the white button mushroom, agaricus bisporus, is a commercially important cultivated filamentous fungus. strain stability is of great importance to both spawn producers and mushroom growers. mushroom strains are usually propagated via vegetative method on nutritionally rich substrates. abnormal growth and poor yield ‎are the consequences of this replication method. the reason for this phenomeno...

the aim followed in the present study was an evaluation of the adaptive immune traits (cellular and humoral) of both males and females in iranian commercial vs azarbayijan native fowls. information obtained from cellular and humoral responses of 49 birds of arian broiler line. 79 azarbayijan native birds were made used of. total antibody titration, immunoglobulin y titration (igy), and immunogl...

One of the basic problems in the standardization of inactivated polyvalent influenza virus vaccines has been the determination of the relative potency of the individual strain components. The chicken cell agglutination test measures reliably the total hemagglutinin content of these vaccines. With immunodiffusion techniques, it is now possible to quantitate each strain component of polyvalent va...

In a laboratory experiment an efficacy of entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema feltiae in controlling third-stage larvae of common cockchafer (Melolontha melolontha) was studied. The experiment comprised of commercial product Entonem and indigenous strain C76. The efficacy of both biological agents was tested at 20 and 25 oC and at four different concentrations of nematode suspension: 0, 250.0...

Glycerol is the main compatible solute in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When faced with osmotic stress, for example during semi-solid state bread dough fermentation, yeast cells produce and accumulate glycerol in order to prevent dehydration by balancing the intracellular osmolarity with that of the environment. However, increased glycerol production also results in decreased CO2 production, ...

In this report, we present a draft sequence of Bacillus subtilis KATMIRA1933. Previous studies demonstrated probiotic properties of this strain partially attributed to production of an antibacterial compound, subtilosin. Comparative analysis of this strain's genome with that of a commercial probiotic strain, B. subtilis Natto, is presented.

We describe a Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain, found in Sweden in 2011, that harbours a N. meningitidis porA gene causing false-negative results in PCRs targeting the gonococcal porA pseudogene. Furthermore, the strain had no prolyliminopeptidase (PIP) activity that many commercial biochemical kits for species verification in culture rely on. Enhanced awareness of the spread of such strains and sc...

Amycolatopsis mediterranei DSM 40773 has been of special interest as successors of this strain are in use for the commercial production of rifamycin B. Here we present the draft genome sequence (~10 Mb) of this strain, which contains 108 contigs, 9,198 genes, and has a G+C content of 71.3%.

We report the 3.16 Mb draft genome of Acinetobacter sp. strain BMW17, a Gram-negative bacterium in the class of Gammaproteobacteria, isolated from the rhizospheric region of Phragmites karka, an invasive weed in Chilika Lake, Odisha, India. The strain BMW17(T) is capable of degrading cellulose and is also an efficient plant growth promoter that can be useful for various phytoremedial and commer...

This paper provides information on the complete genome sequence of a porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) strain isolated on a French pig farm which was identified as a recombinant strain from two commercial modified live virus vaccine strains of genotype 1 (VP-046BIS and DV strains).
