Considerable advantages could be achieved if the cold bituminous emulsion mixtures (CBEMs) show comparable engineering properties to hot-mix asphalt (HMA), particularly because CBEMs require no heat within manufacture and laying process. As a result, such pavement produces less environmental impact, is more cost effective, requires energy consumption. This paper focuses on upgrading stage whereby their mechanical are traditional HMA. Waste or by-product materials were used improve...
Heritiera fomes Buch.-Ham., a mangrove plant from the Sundarbans, has adapted to unique habitat, muddy saline water, anaerobic soil, brackish tidal activities, and high microbial competition. Endophytic fungal association protects this adverse environmental conditions. This is used in Bangladeshi folk medicine, but it not been extensively studied phytochemically, there hardly any report on investigation endophytic fungi growing plant. In study, were isolated surface sterilized cladodes...
Rutin (1), rutin 3'-methyl ether (2), and a new flavonol glycoside, 6-hydroxy-rutin 3',7-dimethyl (3), were isolated from the methanol extract of fruits Ruta chalepensis, collected Diyala, Iraq.Their structures elucidated by spectroscopic analyses, including 1D-, 2D-NMR HRESIMS.Antimicrobial activity compounds 1-3 was tested against four Gram +ve -ve bacterial strains, only fungal strain, Candida albicans, using 96-well based resazurin microtitre assay.
Ruta chalepensis L. (Rutaceae), a perennial herb with wild and cultivated habitats, is well known for its traditional uses as an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic agent, in the treatment of rheumatism, nerve diseases, neuralgia, dropsy, convulsions mental disorders. The antimicrobial activities crude extracts from fruits, leaves, stem roots R. were initially evaluated against two Gram-positive Gram-negative bacterial strains strain fungus Candida albicans. Phytochemical investigation...
Abstract— Examination of fracture surfaces near the fusion crust martian meteorite Allan Hills (ALH) 84001 have been conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force (AFM) has revealed structures strongly resembling mycelium. These were compared with similar found in Antarctic cryptoendolithic communities. On morphology alone, we conclude that these features are not only terrestrial origin but probably belong to a member Actinomycetales , which consider was introduced...
The life cycle of Streptomyces coelicolor during development on solid medium has been studied from a physiological perspective. A biphasic growth pattern was demonstrated, evidenced by continuous transition an initial exponential period into slower phase biomass accretion. switch between the two phases coincided with exhaustion nitrate medium. depletion initiation aerial mycelium formation within cultures and hydrophobic surface properties. During secondary growth, remained metabolically...
Microbiology Society journals contain high-quality research papers and topical review articles. We are a not-for-profit publisher we support invest in the microbiology community, to benefit of everyone. This supports our principal goal develop, expand strengthen networks available members so that they can generate new knowledge about microbes ensure it is shared with other communities.
Abstract Standard methods of microbial cultivation only enable the isolation a fraction total environmental bacteria. Numerous techniques have been developed to increase success and in laboratory, some which derive from diffusion chambers. In chamber, bacteria agar medium are put back environment grow as close their natural conditions possible, separated by semi-permeable membranes. this study, iChip, device that possesses hundreds mini chambers, was used isolate tributyltin (TBT) resistant...
The effects of heat treatment on spores the actinomycete Micromonospora echinospora were investigated. percentage culturable in untreated spore stocks was found to be approximately 20%. A 60 degrees C phosphate buffer for 10 min led an five-fold increase number units. This indicated that a large proportion constitutively dormant. Within and absence external energy-yielding substrate, stimulate respiration suggesting endogenous storage compounds being utilized. Heating at 70 shortened time...
Arthrobacter globiformis NCIBIO683 was grown under different conditions in continuous and batch culture to produce rods, cocci cystites. All forms were resistant lysozyme enzyme L1 did not autolyse readily. Walls contained polysaccharide, made up of glucose, galactose rhamnose, as well peptidoglycan phosphorus. The polysaccharide constituted about 60 % the wall each form, although molar ratios rhamnose varied from 1:1:1 cystites 1:3:2 rods 1:3:5:3 cocci. alanine, glutamic acid, threonine...

The micromorphology, ultrastructure, and cell wall composition of an actinomycete isolated from beach sand were studied. On the basis its some morphological features, it was placed in genus Streptosporangium. It differed other members this by producing rather ill-defined sporangia containing thick-walled, ridged spores together with short chains similar spores. This organism is regarded as belonging to a new species, for which we propose name Streptosporangium corrugatum. type strain species...
SUMMARY: Ultrastructural changes during the germination of spores actinomycetes Microbispora rosea, Microellobosporia flavea, Micromonospora melanosporea, Micropolyspora faeni and Streptomyces ostreogriaeus were studied. The thickness mature spore walls number layers distinguishable in them varied between species. In all cases, swelling occurred existing wall either stretched or ruptured. germ-tube arose from a layer newly synthesized germination. Germ-tube rosea melanosporea inner which...
