Co-culture with potentially probiotic microorganisms antagonises virulence factors of Clostridium difficile in vitroAntonie van Leeuwenhoek - Tập 98 - Trang 19-29 - 2010
Fernando M. Trejo, Pablo F. Pérez, Graciela L. De Antoni
Toxigenic strains of Clostridium difficile were co-cultured with different
strains of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Spent culture supernatants were
tested for biological activity on cultured Vero cells. Co-culture of C.
difficile with some potentially probiotic strains lead to a reduction of the
biological activity of spent culture supernatants. The observed effects cannot
be ascribed either to... hiện toàn bộ
Bacterial quorum sensing: circuits and applicationsAntonie van Leeuwenhoek - Tập 105 - Trang 289-305 - 2013
Neera Garg, Geetanjali Manchanda, Aditya Kumar
Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) systems are cell density—dependent regulatory
networks that coordinate bacterial behavioural changes from single cellular
organisms at low cell densities to multicellular types when their population
density reaches a threshold level. At this stage, bacteria produce and perceive
small diffusible signal molecules, termed autoinducers in order to mediate gene
expression.... hiện toàn bộ
Prevalence of the genus Cladosporium on the integument of leaf-cutting ants characterized by 454 pyrosequencingAntonie van Leeuwenhoek - Tập 109 - Trang 1235-1243 - 2016
A. P. M. Duarte, M. Ferro, A. Rodrigues, M. Bacci, N. S. Nagamoto, L. C. Forti, F. C. Pagnocca
The relationship of attine ants with their mutualistic fungus and other
microorganisms has been studied during the last two centuries. However, previous
studies about the diversity of fungi in the ants’ microenvironment are based
mostly on culture-dependent approaches, lacking a broad characterization of the
fungal ant-associated community. Here, we analysed the fungal diversity found on
the integ... hiện toàn bộ
PCR-RFLP analysis of the IGS region of rDNA: a useful tool for the practical discrimination between species of the genus DebaryomycesAntonie van Leeuwenhoek - Tập 90 - Trang 211-219 - 2006
Manuel Quirós, Patricia Martorell, María-José Valderrama, Amparo Querol, José M. Peinado, María-Isabel de Silóniz
The amplification by PCR of the intergenic spacer region (IGS) of rDNA followed
by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis was evaluated as a
potential method for discriminating the 16 species belonging to the genus
Debaryomyces. The digestion of this region with some or all the enzymes used in
this study (HapII, HhaI and MboI) produced species-specific patterns that
permitted dif... hiện toàn bộ
Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus PAL5 possesses an active quorum sensing regulatory systemAntonie van Leeuwenhoek - Tập 106 - Trang 497-506 - 2014
Elisa V. Bertini, Carlos G. Nieto Peñalver, Ana C. Leguina, Verónica P. Irazusta, Lucía I. C. de Figueroa
The endophytic bacterium Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus colonizes a broad
range of host plants. Its plant growth-promoting capability is related to the
capacity to perform biological nitrogen fixation, the biosynthesis of
siderophores, antimicrobial substances and the solubilization of mineral
nutrients. Colonization of and survival in these endophytic niche requires a
complex regulatory network... hiện toàn bộ
Zinc oxide nanoparticle inhibits the biofilm formation of Streptococcus pneumoniaeAntonie van Leeuwenhoek - Tập 111 - Trang 89-99 - 2017
Purnita Bhattacharyya, Bikash Agarwal, Madhurankhi Goswami, Debasish Maiti, Sunandan Baruah, Prosun Tribedi
Biofilms are structured consortia of microbial cells that grow on living and non
living surfaces and surround themselves with secreted polymers. Infections with
bacterial biofilms have emerged as a foremost public health concern because
biofilm growing cells can be highly resistant to both antibiotics and host
immune defenses. Zinc oxide nanoparticles have been reported as a potential
antimicrobia... hiện toàn bộ
Biocontrol ability and volatile organic compounds production as a putative mode of action of yeast strains isolated from organic grapes and rye grainsAntonie van Leeuwenhoek - Tập 113 - Trang 1135-1146 - 2020
Renata Choińska, Katarzyna Piasecka-Jóźwiak, Beata Chabłowska, Justyna Dumka, Aneta Łukaszewicz
The inhibiting activity of three yeast strains belonging to Pichia kudriavzevii,
Pichia occidentalis, and Meyerozyma quilliermondii/Meyerozyma caribbica genera
against common plant pathogens representing Mucor spp., Penicillium chrysogenum,
Penicillium expansum, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium cereals, Fusarium poae, as
well as Botrytis cinerea genera was investigated. The yeast strains tested had a

Experiments with an apparatus for lyophile desiccation of micro-organismsAntonie van Leeuwenhoek - Tập 18 - Trang 113-124 - 1952
Hendrik L. Wolff
Lyophyle desiccation is an extremely valuable method of preserving
micro-organisms. The apparatus described above proves satisfactory. The material
should be frozen as rapidly as possible at a temperature of −35°C. or lower, and
the apparatus should be constructed in such a way that the pressure remains
approximatively constant. During the sealing of the ampoules care should be
taken that no dry m... hiện toàn bộ
