Histamine-Producing Bacteria (S-96) – A Molecular Approach
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Histamine is a biogenic amine formed through the decarboxylation of the amino acid. For the present study, a total of 126 histamine-producing bacteria (HPB) were screened from Muthupettai mangrove sediment sample. Among 126 isolates, S-96 were selected for 16s rRNA sequencing due to more histamine production. The sequencing study shows the S-96 belong to the genus of Bacillus cereus. This is …

Flavonoid Contents and Antioxidant Activity of an Endophytic Bacteria Associated with Medicinal Plant Humulus lupulus
Abstract: Endophytes are symbiotic microorganisms, most often bacteria or fungi, that reside and multiply within plant tissues without inducing visible signs of disease or negatively affecting the host plant. Endophytic bacteria contribute to plant development by stimulating growth, strengthening defence mechanisms, enhancing tolerance to both abiotic and biotic stresses, and facilitating improved nutrient uptake. Endophytic bacteria serve as an important reservoir of bioactive compounds, notably antioxidant molecules, that play a crucial …

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profile of Airborne Bacteria and Fungi at Owena Market, Osun State, Nigeria
Abstract: Environmental conditions and human activities influence the ubiquity and diversity of microorganisms in the atmosphere thereby acquiring the ability to resist antibiotics which poses serious public threat. Airborne bacteria and fungi isolated using settling plate method from three different points (where kolanuts, meat and onions are sold) at Owena Market, Osun state, Nigeria were assayed for antimicrobial susceptibility using disc diffusion. The microorganisms were identified as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, …

Comparative study of the Antibacterial Properties of Modified Textile Materials with Different Metal Nanoparticles
Abstract: A number of metal particles have proven antibacterial properties. In this study, a comparative analysis was made of two types of metal particles: zinc oxide and titanium oxide nanoparticles respectively, which were deposited on cellulose material and were fixed by means of a cross-linked gelatin hydrogel. Three methods were applied under different reaction conditions for obtaining the biocomposite materials. The biomaterials were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy, transmittance …

Isolation and Characterization of Lantibiotic Producing Lactic Acid Bacteria from Ambali, Aged Mango Pickle Probiotics
Abstract: Each year in the US at least 2 million people are sickened with antibiotic resistant infection. The development of antibiotics was one of the most important advances of medicine. Many bacterial infections (e.g. tuberculosis and infected wounds) that previously had no effective treatment and often killed people became treatable with antibiotics, saving millions of lives. Now, because of the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, bacterial infections that were once easily …

Synthesis and Anti-Bacterial Activity Profile of Cyclized Diazonium Compounds
Abstract: Synthesis of cyclised diazonium compounds and their in vitro activity against various microorganisms is described. Several primary aromatic amines were diazotised and the resulting diazotised compounds were coupled with active methylene compounds to give hydrazono derivatives. These were cyclized with hydrazine hydrate, phenyl hydrazine, urea and o-phenylene diamine to give pyrazolin-5-one, substituted pyrazolin-5-ones, pyrimidin-di-ones and benzodiazepinone derivatives, respectively. Some hydrazine derivatives were also produced by reduction of diazo compounds with …
