Complete Genome Sequences of Streptomyces lividans Bacteriophages Satis and JustBecause.

We present here the complete genomes of two bacteriophages, Satis and JustBecause. Both phages were isolated directly from soil samples collected in St. Louis, MO, and present with an unusual prolate head morphology and large genome lengths of over 180 kb.

Ultrasonically enhanced extraction of bioactive principles from Quillaja Saponaria Molina.

A study of ultrasonic enhancement in the extraction of bioactive principles from Quillaja Saponaria Molina (Quillay) is presented. The effects influencing the extraction process were studied through a two-level factorial design. The effects considered in the experimental design were: granulometry, extraction time, acoustic Power, raw matter/solvent ratio (concentration) and acoustic impedance.
