Recruitment of bacterial endophytes by host plants
Journal Title: Novel Research in Microbiology Journal - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Plants coupled with endophytic bacteria hold great potential for the remediation of polluted environments. The colonization patterns and activities of inoculated endophytes in the rhizosphere and endosphere of host plant are among the primary factors that may influence the phytoremediation process. However, these patterns and activities are in turn controlled by none other than the host plant itself.
Enhanced anti-oxidant activity of neoagarooligosaccharides produced by β-agarase derived from Aquimarina agarilytica NI125
The neoagarooligosaccharides have received growing attention owing to their physiological activities. The aim of this study was the isolation of agarase-producing bacteria for production of agar hydrolysates with specia...

In vitro inhibitory potential of two synthesized fatty amides derivatives against some microbial pathogens
In the present study, two amide derivatives with long chains; N-cyclohexyloctamide 1 and NPhenyldodecanamide (dodecanilide) 2 were synthesized. They were tested in vitro for a wide array of antimicrobial activities again...
