Two adjacent paddies of an experimental rice field, subjected to organic and conventional farming, were characterized aiming the comparative assessment of microbiological variations occurring in the bulk paddy soil over the rice cycle. This study comprehended the simultaneous characterization of general physicochemical soil properties [total carbon and nitrogen, pH (H2O and KCl), C:N ratio and water content], b...
Strain DC-200T was isolated from homemade compost produced from kitchen refuse and characterized using a polyphasic approach. The isolate was a Gram-positive motile short rod, facultatively aerobic, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative, and was able to grow at 10–37 6C, pH 6.0–9.5 and with up to 5% of NaCl. The peptidoglycan was of the type B1 alpha and the muramic acid residues were glycolylated. The major f...
This study reports the antibiotic resistance patterns of coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) isolated from a drinking water treatment plant (WTP), a drinking water distribution network, responsible for supplying water to the consumers (WDN), and a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), responsible for receiving and treating domestic residual effluents. Genotyping and the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstra...
Two bacterial strains, PC-142 and PC-147T, isolated from poultry litter compost, were characterized with respect to their phenetic and phylogenetic characteristics. The isolates were endospore-forming rods that were reddish in colour after Gram staining. They were catalaseand oxidase-positive, were able to degrade starch and gelatin and grew at 15–40 6C and pH 5.5–10.0. The predominant fatty acids were anteiso-...
