Abstract:
... Isoforms of 14-3-3 proteins, similar to their highly conserved homologs in mammals and plants, are both transcriptionally and functionally affected by their extracellular and intracellular environments. These proteins bind to phosphorylated client proteins to modulate their functions in fungi. Since phosphorylation regulates a plethora of different physiological responses in organisms, 14-3-3 prot ...

Abstract:
... Karst caves, considering to be the “arks” of biodiversity, often contain high levels of endemism. In the present study, the actinobacterial community in Shuanghe Cave, the longest cave in Asia, was analyzed for the first-time using culture-dependent and -independent (16S rRNA amplicon sequencing) approaches. The amplicon sequencing analysis revealed a broad taxonomic diversity in Shuanghe Cave, in ...

Abstract:
... The potential use of Sporosarcina pasteurii in possible biotechnological applications on a large scale (ground improvement, consolidation of building structures and ornamental stone, or in developing bio-materials for the building industry), is based on its ability to produce high amounts of carbonate in a short period of time via urea hydrolysis. Industrial biomass production would have a low env ...

Abstract:
... Cell-bound phytase of Pichia anomala was produced in glucose-beef extract medium in shake flasks and in a laboratory fermenter at 25 °C for 24 h at 250 rev/min. In the fermenter the biomass production increased and the fermentation time was reduced from 24 to 16 h. Two-week-old broiler chicks were fed with the biomass-supplemented feed [at 100 g/7.5 kg; 50-phytase units/bird/day]. The overall weig ...

Abstract:
... Mung bean seedlings inoculated with Enterobacter asburiae PSI3, a gluconic acid-producing rhizosphere isolate, enhanced plant growth in the presence of phytotoxic levels of Cd²⁺ in gnotobiotic pot experiments as compared to the uninoculated Cd-treated plants. Addition of organic acids to Cd-stressed seedlings promoted root elongation. Hematoxylin competition assays showed that organic acids could ...

Abstract:
... The effect of redox mediators in the dye decolorization by two laccase isoenzymes from Trametes versicolor cultures supplemented with barley bran has been investigated. All the redox mediators tested, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT), promazine (PZ), para-hydroxybenzoic acid (pHBA) and 1-nitroso-2-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid (NNDS), led to higher dye decolorization than those obtained without mediato ...

Abstract:
... Transaminases, which catalyze the stereoselective transfer of an amino group between an amino donor and a prochiral ketone substrate, are interesting biocatalytic tools for the generation of optically pure chiral amines. In particular, amine transaminases (ATAs) are of industrial interest because they are capable of performing reductive amination reactions using a broad range of amine donors and a ...

Despite the efficacy of antibiotics as well as bacteriophages in treatment of bacterial infections, their role in treatment of biofilm associated infections is still under consideration especially in case of older biofilms. Here, efficacy of bacteriophage alone or in combination with amoxicillin, for eradication of biofilm of Klebsiella pneumoniae B5055 has been assessed. Planktonic cells as well ...

Abstract:
... Ampicillin sodium salt (AMP) is commonly and effectively used to prevent bacterial infection in algal culture, but the response of algal strains to AMP has not been investigated. In this study, Chlorella sorokiniana was selected to evaluate the influence of AMP on algae. AMP enhanced the contents of chlorophyll and two fatty acids, myristic acid (C22:1N9) and tetracosanoic acid (C6:0), but inhibit ...

Abstract:
... Biodegradation of phenol and 4-chlorophenol (4-cp) using pure culture of Candida albicans PDY-07 under anaerobic condition was studied. The results showed that the strain could completely degrade up to 1,800 mg/l phenol within 68 h. The capacity of the strain to degrade phenol was higher than that to degrade 4-cp. In the dual-substrate system, 4-cp intensely inhibited phenol biodegradation. Compar ...
