| gut-associated bacteria throughout the life cycle of the bark beetle dendroctonus rhizophagus thomas and bright (curculionidae: scolytinae) and their cellulolytic activities. | dendroctonus rhizophagus thomas and bright (curculionidae: scolytinae) is an endemic economically important insect of the sierra madre occidental in mexico. this bark beetle has an atypical behavior within the genus because just one beetle couple colonizes and kills seedlings and young trees of 11 pine species. in this work, the bacteria associated with the dendroctonus rhizophagus gut were analyzed by culture-dependent and culture-independent methods. analysis of 16s rrna sequences amplified di ... | 2012 | 22234511 |
| isolation of biosurfactant producers, optimization and properties of biosurfactant produced by acinetobacter sp. from petroleum contaminated soil. | aims: to screen and identify biosurfactant producers from petroleum contaminated soil; to use response surface methodology (rsm) for medium optimization to enhance biosurfactant production; to study the properties of the newly obtained biosurfactant toward ph, temperature and salinity. methods and results: we successfully isolated three biosurfactant producers from petroleum contaminated soil and identified them through 16s rrna sequence analysis, which exhibit the highest similarities to acin ... | 2012 | 22268814 |
| first report of kocuria marina bloodstream infection unrelated to a central venous catheter: a mini-review on an emerging and under-recognized opportunistic pathogen. | we report a case of sepsis by kocuria marina in a 45-year-old woman carrying a midline venous catheter to provide total parenteral nutrition. despite the finding of k. marina bacteraemia, no bacteria grew from the culture of the catheter tip. as the patient was affected with severe leg ulcers, k. marina bloodstream infection from a skin breakage other than cvc was supposed. k. marina is an emerging opportunistic agent deserving attention and probably under-recognized, as it can be misdiagnosed a ... | 2017 | 28353459 |
| peripherally inserted central catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by kocuria marina in an elderly man. | kocuria species are gram-positive, aerobic cocci, and members of the micrcoccaceae family that are known to be opportunistic pathogens. although there have been sporadic reports of infections caused by kocuria species, little is known regarding their human pathogenicity and clinical characteristics. | 2017 | 28102479 |
| modelling the growth kinetics of kocuria marina dagii as a function of single and binary substrate during batch production of β-cryptoxanthin. | in the present investigation, growth kinetics of kocuria marina dagii during batch production of β-cryptoxanthin (β-crx) was studied by considering the effect of glucose and maltose as a single and binary substrate. the importance of mixed substrate over single substrate has been emphasised in the present study. different mathematical models namely, the logistic model for cell growth, the logistic mass balance equation for substrate consumption and the luedeking-piret model for β-crx production ... | 2017 | 27628580 |
| kocuria pelophila sp. nov., an actinobacterium isolated from the rhizosphere of a mangrove. | a novel spherical actinobacterium, designated rs-2-3t, was isolated from the rhizosphere of a mangrove growing on rambut island, indonesia, and its taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic approach. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequence comparison revealed that strain rs-2-3t was related to the members of the genus kocuria. the highest 16s rrna gene sequence similarity value was observed with kocuria marina kmm 3905t (97.0 %). the peptidoglycan type of strain rs-2-3 ... | 2016 | 27221097 |
