Samples water sediments from two farms rearing freshwater-acclimated Litopenaeus vannamei were examined for . Afterwards, isolates serotyped, antimicrobial was determined by disk diffusion method, plasmid curing performed resistant isolates. A total 30 (16.12%) 186 confirmed to be spp., belonging five serovars: S serovar Saintpaul, Infantis, Panama,...

The decolorization of solutions containing the textile reactive dye Orange II by bacteria Geobacillus stearothermophilus (UCP 986) was investigated. experiments were statistically evaluated two-level-four factor (2 4 ) full factorial design, as aeration, azo concentration, inoculum size, and culture media. best results with Luria Bertani (LB) medium under efficiency meant that 96—98% removed after 24 h incubation. LB in color reduction due to a co-metabolic process. Sulphanilic acid...
