Isolation, screening, characterization, identification and fingerprint of the soil oxalate degrading bacteria from Egyptian fertile soil was aimed in this work. Isolated bacteria were first characterized using API 20 NE system. Nine RAPD primers were used in genetic fingerprinting of the characterized bacteria using RAPD-PCR. The preliminary characterization and polyphasic taxonomy for mesophilic, aerobic oxalate-degrading bacteria isolated from Egyptian fertile soil including auxanography using API galleries confirmed that the isolate belonged to the genus Burkholderia cepacia, the percentage of identity was 99.8% for 5167777 profiles. Fingerprinting by RAPD-PCR showed a DNA fingerprint ranging from 0 to 9 bands, over a size range of 344 bp to 3,280 bp.展开更多

MRL （Mean root length）, MI （mitotic index）, PI （phase index） and CA （chromosome abnormalities） endpoints of onion roots, grown in four water samples, were measured and compared with tap water and Cu solution 0.5 mg/L （negative and positive controls）. Inhibition of root growth, cell division and induction of mitotic and chromosomal aberrations were detected. The most polluted water sample caused MRL inhibition of 36%, MI decrease of 38%, and a considerable increase in chromosomal aberrations （7.8%） compared to the negative control. Most frequent CA types were： bridges and fragments, stickiness and C-metaphase. The results indicated a slight toxic tendency of analyzed natural waters, serving as an alert of environmental impact that chemical pollution had after flooding.展开更多
