| bacillus funiculus sp. nov., novel filamentous isolates from activated sludge. | a novel filamentous bacillus strain, naf001t, was reported previously that produces endospores and spore-like resting cells; the latter outgrow by budding. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rdna gene sequences reported in the same paper speculated on the proposal of a novel species for this isolate. this communication describes the dna-dna relatedness of strain naf001t to various members of the genus bacillus and its whole-cell fatty acid and quinone profiles, in order to authenticate the creat ... | 2002 | 12148618 |
| bacillus panaciterrae sp. nov., isolated from soil of a ginseng field. | a gram-positive, non-motile, endospore-forming bacterium, designated gsoil 1517(t), was isolated from soil of a ginseng field in pocheon province (south korea) and was characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position, using a polyphasic approach. it was found to rod-shaped and aerobic or facultatively anaerobic. it grew optimally at 30 degrees c and at ph 6.5-7.0. comparative 16s rrna gene sequence analysis showed that strain gsoil 1517(t) forms a distinct phylogenetic lineage within t ... | 2006 | 17158988 |
| potentiality of eisenia fetida to degrade disposable paper cups-an ecofriendly solution to solid waste pollution. | the aim of the present study was to subject the post-consumer waste, namely paper cups for vermicomposting along with cow dung in three different ratios for a period of 90-140 days employing eisenia fetida. the post-consumer wastes are a menace in many developing countries including india. this waste was provided as feed for earthworms and was converted to vermicompost. vermicompost prepared with paper cup waste was analyzed for their physicochemical properties. based on the physicochemical prop ... | 2015 | 25220767 |
| bacillus polymachus sp. nov., with a broad range of antibacterial activity, isolated from forest topsoil samples by using a modified culture method. | a new, modified culture method that utilizes a transwell plate with a 0.4 µm pore-size microporous membrane was developed. this system allows only trace nutrients from the soil into the liquid culture through the microporous membrane. the method is a more powerful tool for the discovery of novel species from soils than are traditional methods. such newly identified species could potentially produce useful metabolites. a bacterial strain, t515(t), was isolated using this modified culture method. ... | 2015 | 25505346 |
| effects of silver nanoparticles on neonatal testis development in mice. | metal nanoparticles (mnps) play an important role in consumer products. an increasing use of mnps has raised concerns about potential risks for human health. therefore, in vivo tests of mnps are urgently required. using mice as a model animal, the aim of the present study was designed to investigate the effect of biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles (agnps) on spermatogenesis in neonatal mice. | 2015 | 26491295 |
| cytotoxicity of biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles in mda-mb-231 human breast cancer cells. | silver nanoparticles (agnps) have been used as an antimicrobial and disinfectant agents. however, there is limited information about antitumor potential. therefore, this study focused on determining cytotoxic effects of agnps on mda-mb-231 breast cancer cells and its mechanism of cell death. herein, we developed a green method for synthesis of agnps using culture supernatant of bacillus funiculus, and synthesized agnps were characterized by various analytical techniques such as uv-visible spectr ... | 2013 | 23936814 |
