It is closely related to animal and human pathogens Bacillus anthracis and the insect pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis. In the present study, antibiotic resistance, heavy metal tolerance &molecular typing of Bacillus cereus from diverse sources such as soil, sewage water, air, fresh water, sea water and milk were studied. Bacillus cereus resistant to Penicillin (10 units/ml) and Amoxycillin (10 µg/ml);sensitive to Cobalt and Mercury even at 1 mM concentration were determined. All the isolate had plasmid ranging in number from 3-5 and their molecular weight ranged from 3.0 kb-2.0 kb. Plasmid DNA band specific to 6,557 bp has been found in Bacillus cereus isolated from sewage water, air, fresh water, sea water and milk.展开更多

[Methods] Agilent ZORBAX SB-C18 chromatographic column( 4. 6 mm × 250 mm,5μm) was adopted,acetonitrile( B)-0. 1% phosphoric solution( D) was used as the mobile phase( gradient elution),and the detection was conducted at the wavelength of 230 nm and at the column temperature of 25℃. HPLC finger-print of herb materials in the upland-field was established,and 8 lots of medicinal materials were used for the similarity assessment to establish the finger-print. [Results] Theprecision,repeatability and stability RSD of HPLC finger-prints of the 8 lots of Marchantia convoluta Gao et Chang were all less than 3%,and their similarities were all greater than 0. 75; 6 common peaks were observed,and the control finger-print was also established. [Conclusions] With reliable data and simple and efficient manipulations,HPLC finger-print analysis can provide references for the quality assessment of Marchantia convoluta Gao et Chang.展开更多

The success of human authentication depends on high speed and accuracy. This paper proposed an integrated approach of personal authentication using texture based Finger Knuckle Print (FKP) recognition in multiresolution domain. FKP images are rich in texture patterns. Recently, many texture patterns are proposed for biometric feature extraction. Hence, it is essential to review whether Local Binary Patterns or its variants perform well for FKP recognition. In this paper, Local Directional Pattern (LDP), Local Derivative Ternary Pattern (LDTP) and Local Texture Description Framework based Modified Local Directional Pattern (LTDF_MLDN) based feature extraction in multiresolution domain are experimented with Nearest Neighbor and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) Classifier for FKP recognition. Experiments were conducted on PolYU database. The result shows that LDTP in Contourlet domain achieves a promising performance. It also proves that Soft classifier performs better than the hard classifier.展开更多
