A Gram-negative, short rod-shaped micro-organism (CC-BB4(T)) was isolated on nutrient agar from soil from Sinshe in Taichung County, Taiwan. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence demonstrated that this isolate was novel, as it showed <92 % similarity to the sequences of species of the genera Labrys, Beijerinckia and Methylocystis. The micro-organism did not utilize methylamine or methanol as a...

The food packaging industries have got a problem of deterioration of sterilized food due to the attack of micro organism. This is due to the re-contamination of the food during packaging process. The recontamination after packaging can be avoided by sterilizing the packed foods. This will help to increase the shelf life of the food by killing the micro organism. Sterilization of the packed food...

AIM To determine the presence of HLA antigens in people with blinding trachoma. METHODS Fifty Omanis with blinding trachoma were serologically typed for HLA A, B, C, DR, and DQ antigens and DNA typed for class II DR beta and DQ beta alleles and compared with a population of 100 healthy controls. RESULTS chi 2 analysis of serological reactions did not reveal any significant differences in HL...

A field experiment was conducted in Anbar governorate, northwest city of Ramadi Zankora district during the autumn season 2019. Seven fertilizer treatments were included (T1 = recommended application chemical fertilizer, T2 50% + effective micro -organisms, T3= 25% recommendation micro-organisms, T4= Humic acid, T5= T6= combination micro-organisms+ and finally T7= micro-organisms acid). The app...

Modern cryptogamic ground covers (CGCs), comprising assemblages of bryophytes (hornworts, liverworts, mosses), fungi, bacteria, lichens and algae, are thought to resemble early divergent terrestrial communities. However, limited in situ plant other fossils the rock record, a lack CGC-like soils reported pre-Silurian sedimentological have hindered understanding structure, composition interaction...
