| isolation and characterization of oil degrading bacteria from oil contaminated soils of vellore district, tamil nadu, india. | oil contaminated soils were collected from oil grinding mill, automobile service stations, and restaurant waste dumping sites of vellore district for the isolation of oil degrading bacteria. out of 78 colony forming units, only 16 were found to be potent bacteria. 8 biggest clear zone forming bacteria on trybutyrin plates were studied for their colony morphology and the most potential oil degrader bacteria was then chosen for microbial and biochemical assay. the study showed the most prospective ... | 2010 | 21114118 |
| antimicrobial activity of some ethnomedicinal plants used by paliyar tribe from tamil nadu, india. | antimicrobial activity of 18 ethnomedicinal plant extracts were evaluated against nine bacterial strains (bacillus subtilis, staphylococcus aureus, staphylococcus epidermidis, enterococcus faecalis, escherichia coli, klebsiella pneumonia, pseudomonas aeruginosa, ervinia sp, proteus vulgaris) and one fungal strain (candida albicans). the collected ethnomedicinal plants were used in folk medicine in the treatment of skin diseases, venereal diseases, respiratory problems and nervous disorders. | 2006 | 17042964 |
| spectral characterization of a pteridine derivative from cyanide-utilizing bacterium bacillus subtilis - jn989651. | soil and water samples were collected from various regions of sipcot and nearby vanappadi lake, ranipet, tamilnadu, india. based on their colony morphology and their stability during subculturing, 72 bacteria were isolated, of which 14 isolates were actinomycetes. preliminary selection was carried out to exploit the ability of the microorganisms to utilize sodium cyanate as nitrogen source. those organisms that were able to utilize cyanate were subjected to secondary screening viz., utilization ... | 2015 | 25740375 |
