Distribution of microorganisms in soil aggregates: Effect of aggregate size

The distribution of microorganisms in soil aggregates with different diameters was determined using a “washing and sonic vibration” method. In humic rendzina the number of bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi located in aggregates measuring 3 to 1 and ≤0.5 mm was greater than in those of 7 to 5 mm.Pseudomonas were more numerous in aggregates of ≤0.5 mm than in those of 3 to 1 mm and spore-forming aerobic bacteria—in aggregates measuring 3 to 1 mm than in those of 7 to 5 mm. The number of microorganisms growing on asparagine agar andArthrobacter-Corynebacterium increased as 7-5<3-1<0.5 and 7-5<0.5<3-1 mm, respectively. In podzolic loess spore-forming aerobic bacteria inhabited preferentially aggregates measuring 7 to 5 mm,Arthrobacter-Corynebacterium aggregates of ≤0.5 mm. The number of bacteria was greater in aggregates of 3 to 1 than in those measuring ≤0.5 mm. Aggregates of various diameters differed also in the number of some microorganisms both in the outer and inner parts and the partition ratio of microorganisms between these parts. Differences were more numerous in the humic rendzina aggregates.     

Synthesis,Biological Evaluation and in Silico Study of N-(2- and 3-Pyridinyl)benzamide Derivatives as Quorum Sensing Inhibitors against Pseudomonas aeruginosa

The effectiveness of treating bacterial infections is seriously threatened by the emergence of bacterial resistance to chemical treatment. Growth of microbes in biofilm is one of the main causes of resistance to antimicrobial drugs. Quorum sensing (QS) inhibition, which targets the QS signalling system by obstructing cell-cell communication, was developed as an alternative treatment by creating innovative anti-biofilm drugs. Therefore, the goal of this study is to develop novel antimicrobial drugs that are effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa by inhibiting QS and acting as anti-biofilm agents. In this study, N-(2- and 3-pyridinyl)benzamide derivatives were selected to design and syntheses. Antibiofilm activity was revealed by all the synthesized compounds and the biofilm was visibly impaired, and the OD_595nm readings of solubilized biofilm cells presented a momentous difference between the treated and untreated biofilms. The best anti-QS zone was observed for compound 5d and found to be 4.96 mm. Through in silico research, the physicochemical characteristics and binding manner of these produced compounds were examined. For the purpose of understanding the stability of the protein and ligand complex, molecular dynamic simulation was also carried out. The overall findings showed that N-(2- and 3-pyridinyl)benzamide derivatives could be the key to creating effective newer anti-quorum sensing drugs that are effective against different bacteria.     

Susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to Carbenicillin

Ninety clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were examined for susceptibility to carbenicillin by the broth dilution and disc diffusion methods. Inhibition zone diameters varied at given minimal inhibitory concentration levels of the antibiotic. Nevertheless, the results obtained allowed the proposal of the following tentative criteria for the interpretation of inhibition zones. Pseudomonadaceae yielding zones of inhibition measuring at least 10 and 16 mm in diameter around 25-and 100-mug discs, respectively, are sensitive to this antibiotic when examined by the standardized Bauer-Kirby method of disc susceptibility testing. Isolates characterized by zones of less than 100 mm in diameter around 25-mug discs should be tested with 100-mug discs before they are reported as sensitive or resistant to carbenicillin.     

A roentgenographic method for measuring nasal mucous velocity

Nasal mucous velocity was estimated by following the motion of radiopaque discs of Teflon by means of a fluoroscopic image intensifier. From 5 to 10 discs were deposited on the superior surface of the inferior turbinate with a forceps. No local anesthesia was employed and the subjects experienced no discomfort. The linear velocity of the discs was obtained by playing the videotape onto a television monitor, measuring distance with a ruler, and dividing by elapsed time. Duplicate runs of 1-2 min, 15 min apart were very reproducible but runs at 4-h intervals or daily over a 5-day period had a coefficient of variation of 30%. Average nasal velocity for individual ranged from 0 to 22.5 mm/min and group means ranged from 6. 8 to 10.8 mm/min. There was no statistically significant difference in nasal mucous velocity between young and elderly subjects nor was there a sexual difference. The saccharin test of nasal mucous transport was unsatisfactory because of inability to repeat the test more often than 1-2 h and its propensity to produce mild discomfort in a significant number of subjects. Saccharin times did not correlate significantly with values of nasal mucous velocity.     

Antibacterial activity against β- lactamase producing Methicillin and Ampicillin-resistants Staphylococcus aureus: fractional Inhibitory Concentration Index (FICI) determination

Background

The present study reports the antibacterial capacity of alkaloid compounds in combination with Methicillin and Ampicillin-resistants bacteria isolated from clinical samples. The resistance of different bacteria strains to the current antibacterial agents, their toxicity and the cost of the treatment have led to the development of natural products against the bacteria resistant infections when applied in combination with conventional antimicrobial drugs.

Method

The antibacterial assays in this study were performed by using inhibition zone diameters, MIC, MBC methods, the time-kill assay and the Fractional Inhibitory Concentration Index (FICI) determination. On the whole, fifteen Gram-positive bacterial strains (MRSA/ARSA) were used. Negative control was prepared using discs impregnated with 10 % DMSO in water and commercially available Methicillin and Ampicillin from Alkom Laboratories LTD were used as positive reference standards for all bacterial strains.

Results

We noticed that the highest activities were founded with the combination of alkaloid compounds and conventional antibiotics against all bacteria strains. Then, results showed that after 7 h exposition there was no viable microorganism in the initial inoculums.

Conclusion

The results of this study showed that alkaloid compounds in combination with conventional antibiotics (Methicillin, Ampicillin) exhibited antimicrobial effects against microorganisms tested. These results validate the ethno-botanical use of Cienfuegosia digitata Cav. (Malvaceae) in Burkina Faso. Moreover, this study demonstrates the potential of this herbaceous as a source of antibacterial agent that could be effectively used for future health care purposes.     

Three-Dimensional Geometrical Modelling of Wild Boar Head by Reverse Engineering Technology

In this paper, a wild boar head was taken as the bionic research object for the development of new ridgers, a kind of plough. The reverse engineering technology was adopted to obtain the surface geometrical information of the head. Several three-dimensional （3D） point clouds of the head were captured first using a non-touch laser scanner, and an integrated point cloud was generated by aligning these point clouds using UG/Imageware. Then, the digital surface model of the head was rebuilt by means of CATIA. The characteristic curves of the surface model were analyzed. The results show that the average error between the rebuilt surface and the point cloud is -0.431 ram. The max curvature of the ridge on the neb of the head is 0.187 mm^-1, and the max and rain Gauss curvatures on the surface are 0.008 mm^-2 and -0.002 mm^-2. These geometrical information are the essential parameters for biomimetics study of the ridger.     

Reduction of density and anisotropic distribution of intermediate filaments occur during avian skeletal myogenesis

Chicken skeletal muscle taken from embryos in ovo was examined by thin-section electron microscopy. Measurements of filament diameters reveal three nonoverlapping groups of filaments: thin (actin myofibrillar) filaments with mean diameters of 5.3 +/- 0.6 nm (S.D.), thick (myosin myofibrillar) filaments with mean diameters of 15 +/- 1.4 nm, and intermediate filaments with mean diameters of 9.3 +/- 0.9 nm. During muscle development these diameters do not change. By counting the number of filaments observed in the sarcoplasm at different stages, we find that the spatial density of intermediate filaments decreases during avian myogenesis in ovo, from 91 intermediate filaments/micron 2 at 6 days to 43 intermediate filaments/micron 2 at 17 days in ovo. Initially randomly arranged, some intermediate filaments become associated with Z discs, sarcoplasmic reticulum, nuclear membrane, and the sarcolemma between 6 and 10 days in ovo. These associated intermediate filaments course both parallel and transverse to myofibrils, forming lateral connections between myofibrillar Z discs and longitudinal connections from Z disc to Z disc within myofibrils. Intermediate filaments also appear to connect Z discs with the nuclear membrane. The intermediate filament associations persist through day 17 of development, after which the presence of cytoskeletal filaments is obscured by the densely packed myofibrils and membranes. Intermediate filament distribution becomes anisotropic during development. A greater proportion of intermediate filaments in the immediate perimyofibrillar area are oriented parallel to myofibrils than in other areas, so that the majority of the intermediate filaments nearest the myofibrils course parallel to them. The longitudinal intramyofibrillar intermediate filaments persist throughout development, as shown by their existence in KI-extracted adult myofibrils.
