Based on the Biot's theory of the two-phased poroelasticity medium, a coupled model for a saturated layered ground containing an open trench and track is developed, and the effect of the open trench on reducing the vibra...

We isolated 47 different bacterial isolates from 13 different soil samples, five of  them showed antifungal activities belonged to Gram positive bacteria  Bacillus subtilis and were designated as B1,B2,B3,B4 and B5 and...

Abstract One of the critical limitations to use of bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria as a substitute for chemical antibiotics is the narrow spectrum of their antibacterial activity. The aim of present study w...

Emerging threats of antimicrobial resistance necessitate the exploration of effective alternatives for healthy livestock growth strategies. ?Immunosynbiotics?, a combination of immunoregulatory probiotics and prebiotics ...

Hereby we communicate the first autochthon isolation of Cryptococcus gattii VGIII in Chile, which was obtained from a nasal injury in a domestic cat in the Valparaíso region in Chile. The strain was identified using mor...

Prospection of cellulose-degrading bacteria in natural environments allows the identification of novel cellulasesand hemicellulases that could be useful in second-generation bioethanol production. In this work, celluloly...

The large-scale use of the herbicide glyphosate leads to growing ecotoxicological and human health concerns. Microbe-assisted phytoremediation arises as a good option to remove, contain, or degrade glyphosate from soils ...

Three azulenoid sesquiterpenes (1 – 3) were isolated from the Antarctic gorgonian Acanthogorgia laxa collected by bottom trawls at −343 m. Besides linderazulene (1), and the known ketolactone 2, a new brominated C...

Abstract Kocuria salsicia can survive in extreme environments and cause infections, including catheter-related bacteremia, in humans. Here, we investigated and evaluated the characteristics of nine K. salsicia strains (K...

Abstract In this study, two Listeria bacteriophages, LMP1 and LMP7, were isolated from chicken feces as a means of biocontrol of L. monocytogenes. Both bacteriophages had a lytic effect on L. monocytogenes ATCC 7644, 153...

Premise of the study: We developed microsatellite markers to study clonal growth and interspecific hybridization in the Patagonian and subantarctic plant Hypochaeris incana (Asteraceae) and its closest relatives. Methods...

Rachiplusia nu (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is an important pest of vegetable crops widely distributed in South America. At present, its control is based on the use of broad spectrum chemical insecticides. In order...

Abstract Although bacteriocins with anti-listerial activity have been isolated from a wide variety of lactic acid bacteria, little is known about those from Leuconostoc lactis, a heterofermentative bacterium that produce...

Decreases in oil reserves and gas fields around all over the world justify the deepening of studies to render viable the larger-scale use of new energy sources. Therefore, the use of microorganisms to convert sugars into...

Machaerium villosum is an important tree species from Southeastern Brazil. We report hereby 10 new microsatellite markers to investigate the structure and genetic diversity of this species. Ninety-seven alleles were dete...

Abstract Bacteriocin is ribosomally synthesized by bacteria and inhibits closely related species. In this study we aimed at isolating lactic acid bacteria producing bacteriocin presenting anti-staphylococcal activity. A ...

Ensuring microbial safety in drinking water remains a challenge, particularly for ageing infrastructure and complex treatment processes. Because water treatment works sit at the interface between source-water ecosystem i...

Abstract The objective of the present study was to evaluate the cholesterol-assimilation ability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which were isolated from kimchi, a Korean traditional fermented cabbage. The isolated strain...
