the dardanelles (çanakkale strait) and bosporus (istanbul strait) which have unique hydrographical characteristics were compared regarding the metabolically active bacteria, culturable heterotrophic bacteria (hpc) and their relation to the nutrients and variable environmental parameters. the samples were taken from various depths ranging from 0-30 cm to 50 meters. the halocline stratifications ...

  Quinolone antibacterial agents are currently used for the treatment of various bacterial infections. The nature of functional group at the 7 position of the quinolone ring system is known to have strong influence on the spectrum and extent of in vitro antibacterial activity. Accordingly, a series of N-L2- oxo-2-(2- furyl) and N-[2- oxyimino (2- furyl) ethyl] piperazinyl quinolone derivatives...

background bacterium-bacterium antagonistic interactions could be important in the ecology of marine bacteria. antimicrobial properties of microorganisms are exploited in various fields of human activities. objectives antagonism of heterotrophic bacteria from different marine environments of tropical and temperate zones was examined. materials and methods bacteria were isolated from biofilm sam...

Wheat straw smoke aerosols and liquid smoke condensates reduced significantly both the viability and the ice-nucleating activity of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae and Erwinia herbicola in vitro and on leaf surfaces in vivo. Highly significant reductions in numbers of bacterial ice nuclei on the surface of both corn and almond were observed after exposure to smoke aerosols. At -5°C, frost inj...

The investigation of spatio-temporal dynamics of bacterial cells and their molecular components requires automated image analysis tools to track cell shape properties and molecular component locations inside the cells. In the study of bacteria aging, the molecular components of interest are protein aggregates accumulated near bacteria boundaries. This particular location makes very ambiguous th...
