Deciphering supramolecular arrangements, micellization patterns, and antimicrobial potential of bacterial rhamnolipids under extreme treatments of temperature and electrolyte.

The micellization properties of rhamnolipids (RLs) in extreme electrolyte concentrations and temperatures have gained considerable attention due to their broad industrial applications. In this study, the aggregation behavior, specifically the micellization pattern (critical micelle concentration (CMC)) of RLs produced from a newly isolated thermophilic strain of from a harsh environment of an oil field, was investigated by a spectrophotometric method at various temperatures (293-393 K) and electrolyte concentrations (NaCl: 2-20%). The result indicated that the values (0.

Growth optimization, antibiogram, and molecular identification of Bacillus species isolated from the human gut.

The human microbial flora is quite diverse and versatile, playing several beneficial roles in association with the host and deriving nutrition from it. The present study aimed to identify gut microbial flora with potential probiotic activities. Eighteen bacterial isolates were screened from ten male individuals in this study.

Prospects of iron solubilizing Bacillus species for improving growth and iron in maize (Zea mays L.) under axenic conditions.

Iron (Fe) deficiency in calcareous soils is a significant agricultural challenge, affecting crop productivity and nutritional quality. This study aimed to isolate, characterize, and evaluate Fe solubilizing rhizobacterial isolates from maize rhizosphere in calcareous soils as potential biofertilizers. Forty bacterial isolates coded as SG1, SG2, …, SG40 were isolated and screened for siderophore production, with ten showing significant Fe solubilizing capabilities.
