[Geno- and phenotypic characteristic of Bacillus strains--components of endosporin].

Endosporin is used in veterinary for the prophylaxis and treatment of disbacteriosis, intestinal infections, festering wounds and postpartum pyoinflammatory complications in agricultural animals. The probiotic is based on two Bacillus strains which inhibit growth of a broad spectrum of pathogenic microorganisms and synthesise proteolytic enzymes and other biologically active secondary metabolites, particularly - polysaccharides. The activity of these two strains was supplementary.

[Use of real-time PCR for quantitative assessment of lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria in dairy products].

Composition of lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria in raw milk and home-made milk products has been analyzed using real-time PCR (quantitative PCR) with genus-specific primers to Enterococcus, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria. Bacteria belonging to these genera have been revealed in all samples analyzed (milk, sour cream, cottage cheese). It has been shown that the representatives of Enterococcus and Lactobacillus genera dominated in the samples analyzed (10(3)-10(7) genome equivalent/ml (mg)).

[Bifidobacterial species composition of digestive tract of people of different age groups].

The quantitative and species composition of bifidoflora of intestinal content of people of different age groups has been studied. It was established that B. longum subsp.

[Differentiation of domestic horse and Przewalskis horse using various DNA sequences].

The electrophoretic mobility of seven erythrocyte enzymes and spectra of fragments amplified by RAPD-PCR with primers UBC-85 and UBC-126 were comparatively analyzed in domestic horse and Przewalski's horse. All tested genetic markers were classified into two groups differing in their involvement in differentiation of the two closely related horse species. Markers from different groups differed neither in their type (a polymorphic protein or an amplification product) nor in their biochemical role (for enzymes).

[Experimental and calculated spectra of the amplicons UBC-85 and UBC-126 (RAPD-PCR)].

The comparative analysis of experimental amplification spectrum in 13 Ungulata species and counting ones in DNA sequences of different taxa in GenBank (mammalian, other vertebrate, invertebrate, viruses, prokaryote) with the uses of RAPD-PCR primers UBC-85 and UBC-126 was carried out. The particularities of the distribution of amplicons' frequencies in experimental and counting spectrums were revealed, for some of them the similar increased frequencies in mammalian and prokaryotic species were observed.

[A comparative analysis of Ungulata species by different molecular genetic markers (proteins, RAPD-PCR)].

The investigation of genetic interrelation between a number of Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla species with the use of different types of molecular-genetic markers (proteins, RAPD-PCR) were carried out. The marker-specific features of interspecific relations and their similarities on the groups of markers of both types were revealed. The distinctions between interspecies genetic relations and ones estimated from the phylogeny on the determined group of different types of markers were observed.
