Application of statistical experimental design for optimisation of bioinsecticides production by sporeless Bacillus thuringiensis strain on cheap medium
(
Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia - SBM
, 2014 , 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 ...
Isolation of the Bacillus thuringiensis plasmid carrying Bacthuricin F4 coding genes and evidence of its conjugative transfer
(
The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries
, 2014 , Article)
INTRODUCTION:
Conjugation is an excellent natural mode of DNA transfer in vivo between bacteria, particularly when these conjugative elements carry technological traits such as bacteriocin encoding genes. In the present ...

Animal models have historically played a critical role in the exploration and characterization of disease pathophysiology and target identification and in the evaluation of novel therapeutic agents and treatments in vivo. ...
K-shell photoionization of O+ and O2+ ions: Experiment and theory
(
American Physical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Absolute cross sections for the single and double K-shell photoionization of carbon like O2+ and nitrogen like O+ ions were measured in the 526–620-eV photon energy range by employing the ion-photon merged-beam technique ...
Correlation between delta-endotoxin and proteolytic activities produced by Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki growing in an economic production medium
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2013 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis is a Gram positive bacterium that produces an insecticidal crystalline protein making it one of the most important biocontrol agents for pest management. Bioinsecticides based on B. thuringiensis ...

Developing globally minded citizens has become a national push and a stated priority for many higher education institutions in the United States. This article focuses on one university’s efforts to develop globally minded ...
Breaking up prolonged sitting time with walking does not affect appetite or gut hormone concentrations but does induce an energy deficit and suppresses postprandial glycaemia in sedentary adults
(
NRC Research Press
, 2016 , Article)
Background: Breaking up periods of prolonged sitting can negate harmful metabolic effects but the influence on appetite and gut hormones is not understood and is investigated in this study. Methods: Thirteen sedentary (7 ...
