Probiotic characteristics of strains isolated from cheese and their antibacterial properties against gastrointestinal tract pathogens.

In the present study, four Lactobacillus strains from the cheese were analyzed for its probiotic potential against enteropathogenic bacteria. The probiotic properties of the selected strains were also analyzed and the selected bacterial strains showed high tolerance in bile salts and organic acid. The strain LP049 showed maximum survival rate (92 ± 4.

Nephroprotective effect of pigmented violacein isolated from in wistar rats.

The present study aimed to analyze the nephroprotective property of violacein obtained from the bacterium, . The nephrotoxicity in the animal model was induced by gentamicin, potassium dichromate, mercuric chloride, and cadmium chloride-induced nephrotoxicity in the Wistar rats was analyzed by measuring the serum creatinine, uric acid, and urea level. The present investigation revealed the nephroprotective property on convoluted proximal tubule (S1 and S2 segments) and the straight proximal tubule (S3 segment).

Removal of nitrogen from wastewater of date processing industries using a Saudi Arabian mesophilic bacterium, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Al-Dhabi-17 in sequencing batch reactor.

The main aim of the present study was to assess the technical feasibility of nutrients removal from the wastewater from the date processing industries in sequencing batch reactor. Heterotrophic nitrifying and aerobic denitrifying bacteria were isolated from the soil sediment samples. The bacterial strain Al-Dhabi-17 effectively removed nutrients than other isolates from the wastewater and characterized as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Al-Dhabi-17.
