Characterization of some bacterial strains isolated from the Egyptian eastern and northern coastlines with antimicrobial activity of Bacillus zhangzhouensis OMER4

Marine microorganisms were considered to be important sources of marine bioactive compounds. The major objective of the study was to isolate and characterize bacteria with antimicrobial activities from the various marine environment of Egypt. In this respect, thirty-five bacterial isolates were recovered from sediment samples collected from different spots along the Egyptian Red Sea coastline and Alexandria coastline during the summer season of 2017 and 2018. According to the morphological, phys...     

Measurement of methanotroph and methanogen signature phosopholipids for use in assessment of biomass and community structure in model systems

Methanotrophic biomass and community structure were assessed for a soil column enriched with natural gas. An increase in microbial biomass, based on phospholipid ester-linked fatty acids (PLFA), was apparent for the natural gas-enriched column relative to a control column and untreated surface soil. Following GC-MS analyses of the derivatized monounsaturated fatty acids, the major component (22% of the PLFA) of the natural gas-enriched column was identified as 18·1Δ 10c. This relatively novel fatty acid has only been previously reported as a major component in methanotrophs. Its presence in the soil, together with other supportive evidence, implies that this microbial metabolic group makes a large contribution to the column flora. Other microbial groups were also recognized and differences compared between the soils analysed. A recently developed HPLC method for the separation and characterisation of archaebacterial phospholipid-derived signature di- and tetra-ether lipids was used to examine methane-producing digesters. With this technique, methanogenic biomasses of approximately 10¹¹ bacteria per g dry weight of digestor material were determined. Differences between ratios of diether to tetraether phospholipids were apparent for the digestors analysed, though the causes are at this stage unknown. Taken together, these two methods can be used to estimate methanotrophic and methanogenic contributions in both model systems and environmental samples.

氧化镁烧结-电感耦合等离子体质谱法测定砂岩型铀矿中的痕量铼

砂岩型铀矿中铀的平均含量为635μg/g,而铼的含量仅为0.3~1.9μg/g,由于铼的含量低,准确测定高含量铀矿样中的低含量铼仍是分析化学的一个难题。本文建立了电感耦合等离子体质谱法测定砂岩型铀矿中痕量铼的方法。样品经过氧化镁烧结,热水浸提以及采用103Rh作内标元素等方式消除了铀、钼及其他基体元素对测定铼的干扰。在最佳条件下,痕量铼的检出限可低至0.12 ng/g,回收率达99.8%。本方法通过多种标准样品验证,铼的测定值与标准值吻合,对铼含量在0.06~180.57μg/g范围内的实际样品进行测定,相对标准偏差均小于1.5%,能够满足砂岩型铀矿等高含量铀矿中痕量铼的测定需求。
