Mediation of carbonate minerals formation by aerobic bacterial strains isolated from Dohat Faishakh Sabkha in Qatar
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is increasingly released to the environment as a result of the extensive use of various industrial facilities. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report (2015), cumulative ...
Isolation, screening and activity of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria from harsh soils
(
Avestia Publishing
, 2016 , Conference)
The study of microbial communities in relation to their ecology, interaction, and genetics must be covered in Qatar with special soil, weather and water. Microorganisms of an environment never having been exposed to such ...
Evidencing the diversity and needs of adjustment of the nutritional requirements for hydrocarbon-degrading activity of: Pseudomonas aeruginosa adapted to harsh conditions using 2<sup>n</sup> full factorial design
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
To overcome the partial or complete failure of oil hydrocarbon bioremediation due to weathering processes, occurring in most oil producing and spilling areas, nutritional requirements of the most widely used bacterium, ...
Application of statistical experimental design for optimisation of bioinsecticides production by sporeless Bacillus thuringiensis strain on cheap medium
(2013 , Article)
In order to overproduce bioinsecticides production by a sporeless Bacillus thuringiensis strain, an optimal composition of a cheap medium was defined using a response surface methodology. In a first step, a Plackett-Burman ...
Integration of a Recombinant Chitinase into Bacillus thuringiensis Parasporal Insecticidal Crystal
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2011 , Article)
Chitinases have been successfully used in combination with Bacillus thuringiensis delta-endotoxins forming crystals in order to enhance their insecticidal activities. In this context, we opted for promoting the chitinase ...
Overproduction of Delta-Endotoxins by Sporeless Bacillusthuringiensis Mutants Obtained by Nitrous Acid Mutagenesis
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2011 , Article)
Asporogenic and oligosporogenic Bacillus thuringiensis mutants having the ability to overproduce insecticidal crystal protein were generated by using nitrous acid (50 mg/ml), as chemical mutagenic agent. Insecticidal crystal ...
Antifungal activities of an endophytic Pseudomonas fluorescens strain Pf1TZ harbouring genes from pyoluteorin and phenazine clusters
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2010 , Article)
Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf1TZ was inhibitory in vitro to a number of phytopathogenic fungi and could protect vine plantlets against Botrytis cinerea. Total protection was reached after 3 weeks of bacterial inoculation. The ...
Improvement of Bioinsecticides Production by Sporeless Bacillus thuringiensis strains in Response to Various Stresses in Low Cost Medium
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2011 , Article)
The use of bioinsecticides, particularly those produced by sporeless Bacillus thuringiensis strains, has been shown to be a good alternative in pest management. Two types of sporeless mutants were distinguished. The ...
Environmental Burkholderia cepacia strain CS5 acting by two analogous alkyl-quinolones and a didecyl-phthalate against a broad spectrum of phytopathogens fungi
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2011 , Article)
An environmental Burkholderia cepacia strain named Cs5 was isolated and identified first using API biochemical identification system and then with 16S rDNA and recA sequence homology search. This bacterium exhibited a broad ...
Improvement of Bacillus thuringiensis bioinsecticide production by sporeless and sporulating strains using response surface methodology
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2011 , Article)
Statistical experimental designs, involving a Plackett-Burman design followed by a rotatable central composite design were used to optimize the culture medium constituents for Bacillus thuringiensis bioinsecticide production. ...
