Feeding quail chicks diets containing soybeans fermented with two cultures of Aspergilli (A. oryzae N.R.R.L. 451 and A. oryzae N.R.R.L. 506) resulted in significantly superior weight gains (p less than 0.05) through a 4-week growth period and confirmed previous observations made with identical cultures in broiler studies. Subsequent hen-day egg production and egg size were changed little by diets containing fermented soybeans. The numerical increases in fertility and hatchability were not significant. Progeny also responded to the fermented soybean diets, some carry-over effects were evident.

Fungi play an increasingly important role in the biological control of insect pests. XJ1 is highly virulent to locust adults and nymphs, which are a destructive economic pest worldwide. Because of its host association with locusts, which is unique in , in this study, we examined the genetic relationships of XJ1 within .

Two endophytic actinobacteria, strains MK5 and MK7, were isolated from the surface-sterilized root of Jasmine rice (Oryza sativa KDML 105). These strains were aerobic actinobacteria with a well-developed substrate and aerial mycelia that formed spiral spore chains. The type strains that shared the high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with both strains were Streptomyces naganishii NBRC 12892 (99.

Xylanases are mainly utilized in bakery industry for the hydrolysis of dietary fiber-based fractions. Their applications in gluten-free products have not been considered before. In the present study, the xylanase produced by Aureobasidium pullulans NRRL Y-2311-1 was utilized in a mulberry and rice flours-based gluten-free cookie formulation for the first time.

The present study investigated that chitosan production of Rhizopus oryzae NRRL 1526 and Aspergillus niger ATCC 16404. Fungal chitosans were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM)-energy dispersive X-ray analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimeter and deacetylation degrees of fungal chitosans were determined. The percentage yield of Ro-chitosan and An-chitosan were determined as 18.

Two endophytic actinobacteria, strains SBTS01 and W18L9, were isolated from leaf sheath and leaf tissue, respectively, of Jasmine rice (Oryza sativa KDML 105) grown in a rice paddy field in Roi Et Province, Thailand. A polyphasic taxonomic study showed that both strains belong to the genus Streptomyces; they are aerobic, forming well-developed substrate mycelia and aerial mycelia with long chains of spores. Strain SBTS01 shares high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Streptomyces rochei NRRL B-2410 (99.
