Evidence of a Role for Aerobic Bacteria in High Magnesium Carbonate Formation in the Evaporitic Environment of Dohat Faishakh Sabkha in Qatar
(
Frontiers Media
, 2017 , Article)
Dolomite (MgCa(CO3)2) is an important petroleum reservoir rock mineral common in ancient sedimentary rocks which is infrequently found in modern environments. The mechanism of dolomite formation remains poorly understood, ...
Considering the Specific Impact of Harsh Conditions and Oil Weathering on Diversity, Adaptation, and Activity of Hydrocarbon-Degrading Bacteria in Strategies of Bioremediation of Harsh Oily-Polluted Soils
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2017 , Article)
Weathering processes change properties and composition of spilled oil, representing the main reason of failure of bioaugmentation strategies. Our purpose was to investigate the metabolic adaptation of hydrocarbon-degrading ...
Multiple linear regression and artificial neural networks for delta-endotoxin and protease yields modelling of Bacillus thuringiensis
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The aim of the present work was to develop a model that supplies accurate predictions of the yields of delta-endotoxins and proteases produced by B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki HD-1. Using available medium ingredients as ...
Nutritional Requirements to Improve Delta-Endotoxins Production of Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki Using Mixed Designs Modelling
(
Springer India
, 2017 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensiskurstaki is a soil bacterium that produces insecticidal toxins called delta-endotoxins. In order to increase the toxic crystal concentrations in a low-cost culture medium and thus improve the biopesticide ...
Combinatorial effect of mutagenesis and medium component optimization on Bacillus amyloliquefaciens antifungal activity and efficacy in eradicating Botrytis cinerea
(
Elsevier GmbH
, 2017 , Article)
This work is directed towards Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain BLB371 metabolite production for biocontrol of fungal phytopathogens. In order to maximise antifungal metabolite production by this strain, two approaches ...
Evidencing the diversity and needs of adjustment of the nutritional requirements for hydrocarbon-degrading activity of: Pseudomonas aeruginosa adapted to harsh conditions using 2<sup>n</sup> full factorial design
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
To overcome the partial or complete failure of oil hydrocarbon bioremediation due to weathering processes, occurring in most oil producing and spilling areas, nutritional requirements of the most widely used bacterium, ...
