Abstract:
Heterotrophic plate count (HPC) or standard plate count is a standardized method for determining the density of aerobic and facultative anaerobic heterotrophic microorganisms in water. In this study, water samples were analyzed to ascertain the effects of temperature, media, and incubation time in HPC methods of bacterial estimation. The samples were analyzed using the membrane filtration and direct plating methods. No faecal coliform was detected in all the samples and at all temperature. However, some coliforms and heterotrophic bacteria were present in the water samples. The organisms were

In this study, we isolated and characterized biphenyl (BP) and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) degrading bacterial strains found in PCB-contaminated soil from an auto manufacturing plant located in Syracuse, New York. Twenty-one BP and PCB-degrading bacteria were randomly selected to form a representative sample of the bacterial population present at the site. Of the 21 bacteria, 13 were identified as Comamonas testosteroni, constituting about 60% of the bacterial population examined. Other PCB degraders identified were Acidovorax facilis, Alcaligenes xylosoxydans, Bacillus sphericus, Hydrogeno

Abstract:
Background: Larval source management is an effective measure to control mosquito-borne diseases. Bacillus thuringiensis produces specific insecticidal crystal proteins toxic to mosquito larvae. In many parts of the South East Asian region, Bacillus thuringiensis is used for larval source management. In Nepal, larvicidal Bacillus thuringiensis is not available. The study aims to isolate larvicidal Bacillus thuringiensis from soil samples of Nepal to control mosquitoes.Methods: Native Bacillus thuringiensis was obtained from soil samples by the acetate selection method.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The production of the vegetative mosquitocidal toxin Mtx1 from Bacillus sphaericus was redirected to the sporulation phase by replacement of its weak, native promoter with the strong sporulation promoter of the bin genes. Recombinant bacilli developed toxicity during early sporulation, but this declined rapidly in later stages, indicating the proteolytic instability of the toxin. Inhibition studies indicated the action of a serine proteinase, and similar degradation was also seen with the purified B. sphaericus enzyme sphericase.

Abstract:
A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, endospore-forming, moderately halophilic rod, designated strain R1T, was isolated from rice husks and subjected to a taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach. Strain R1T produced spherical or ellipsoidal endospores at a subterminal position in swollen sporangia, and was catalase- and oxidase-positive. The isolate grew optimally at 37 °C and pH 6.0–7.0, and could grow in the presence of up to 9 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain R1T belongs to the genus Bacillus . The closest relatives of strain R1T were

Abstract This book chapter discusses mosquitoes as deadly disease vectors. Biological control is usually implemented for control of larval populations using predators (e.g. top feeding minnows and copepods) or pathogens and pathogen products (i.e., Bacillus thuringiensis israeliensis and B. sphericus). Genetic control is being implemented by releasing sterilized male mosquitoes (genetically modified, radiation sterilised, or transgenic mosquitoes). It starts with minimizing bites through the use of window screens on houses and animal shelters, and the use of treated bed nets and personal repel

Abstract Most bacteria are either spherical (coccus) or rod-shaped (bacillus), and are usually arranged in a manner characteristic of the genus, growing either singly, in clusters or in chains. The dimensions of a bacterium are typically in the order of 1 μm (Fig. 2.1). As described in the previous chapter, bacteria are typical prokaryotes. Most bacteria can be divided into one of two types, Gram-positive and Gram-negative, by means of the Gram stain, which is summarized in Fig. 2.2.
