identification and characterization of microorganisms from earthworm viscera for the conversion of fish wastes into liquid fertilizer.	five bacteria isolated from earthworm viscera and identified as brevibacillus agri, bacillus cereus, bacillus licheniformis, and brevibacillus parabrevis by 16s rrna sequencing were employed in the conversion of fish wastes generated from a restaurant specializing in sliced raw fish into fertilizer. within 120h after inoculation of autoclaved fish waste with 5.15 x 10(5) cfu ml(-1) mixed isolates, the amount of dry sludge decreased from 29.4 to 0.2g, the ph changed from 7.05 to 5.70, and the cel ...	2010	20189380
combination of culture-independent and culture-dependent molecular methods for the determination of bacterial community of iru, a fermented parkia biglobosa seeds.	in this study, bacterial composition of iru produced by natural, uncontrolled fermentation of parkia biglobosa seeds was assessed using culture-independent method in combination with culture-based genotypic typing techniques. pcr-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (dgge) revealed similarity in dna fragments with the two dna extraction methods used and confirmed bacterial diversity in the 16 iru samples from different production regions. dna sequencing of the highly variable v3 region of the ...	2012	23316189

the heat resistance and spoilage potential of aerobic mesophilic and thermophilic spore forming bacteria isolated from chinese milk powders.	the propensity for aerobic bacilli and allied genera to produce highly heat-resistant spores and thermally stable spoilage enzymes are major bacteriological issues faced by the dairy industry. most of the enzymes are able to survive any heat treatment applied during the manufacture of milk powders and have the potential to remain active in milk powders and other dairy products during storage, and may explain some of the sensory and functionality defects reported in dairy products. despite many r ...	2016	27657656
