Evaluation of Streptomyces as probiotics against vibriosis and health management of prawn larvae Macrobrachium rosenbergii
Nearly forty-five isolates of Streptomyces were found to be associated with 16 different seaweeds. Of these, only six strains that antagonized Vibrio vulnificus were selected to study the probiotic efficiency. Six strains were characterized based on the phenotypic characteristics. The toxicity of different Vibrio species (V. harveyji, V. parahemolyticus, V. alginolyticus, V. vulnificus) towards prawn larvae...

Isolation and characterization of two T4-like bacteriophages against pathogenic Escherichia coli of piglet
This study, has described the isolation of two T4-like JH11 and JH14 phages. All bacteriophages produced clear plaques in double Luria Bertani (LB) agar, but JH11 produced the larger plaques. These phages lysed Escherichia coli O141: F18 (ETEC), they have icosahedral heads, necks and contractile tails, and belonged to the Myoviridae family. The genomes of these phages were a strand DNA, predicted to be larger than 2 kb....

In vitro antimicrobial evaluation of two indigenous functional food-plants (Chenopodium album and Solanum nigrum) used in the Oliver Reginald (O.R.) Tambo district municipality of South Africa
Plants have long been the source of important products with nutritional and therapeutic properties. African indigenous functional food-plants such as Chenopodium album and Solanum nigrum may constitute important sources of phytochemical constituents for the synthesis of antimicrobial compounds against infectious organisms. The objective of this study was to determine the antimicrobial properties of C. album and S....

Chemical characterization and bioactivity evaluation of bacteriocin from marine biofilm-forming bacteria
The marine biofilm bacteria were isolated on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheet immersed from offshore platform of Central Electrochemical Research Center (CECRI), Tuticorin, Tami Nadu. The isolated marine biofilm bacteria such as Pseudomonas sp., Aeromonas sp., Enterobacter sp., Bacillus spp., Flavobacterium sp., Microccocus sp. and Cytophaga sp were identified up to generic level. The Pseudomonas sp. was the dominant,...
