Variation analysis of bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoates production using saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are efficient, renewable and environment friendly polymeric esters. These polymers are synthesized by a variety of microbes under stress conditions. This study was carried out to check the suitability of waste frying oil in comparison to other oils for economical biop...

Caracterização fenotípica e genotípica de Acinetobacter spp. e Pseudomonas aeruginosa produtores de carbapenemases

A resistência bacteriana a antibióticos é um grave e crescente problema de saúde pública de âmbito mundial. O principal, e mais eficiente, mecanismo de resistência aos β-lactâmicos em bacilos Gram-negativos é a produção de β-lactamases, que possuem a capacidade de hidrolisar o anel β-lactâ...

β-lactamase-producing Gram-negative bacteria in an intensive care unit in southern Brazil

ABSTRACT The present study evaluated the antimicrobial susceptibility profile, β-lactamase production, and genetic diversity of Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter spp. using phenotypic identification, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and β-lactamase phenotypic detection....
