Wild populations of Chinese alligator are on the edge of extinction. Through a release program, some captive-bred alligators will be selected and released into the wild to supplement and renew natural populations. The purpose of this study was to provide data to select healthy individuals for release. Through bacteriological and molecular identification, six different genera, eight species and an unclassified bacterium were identified in 13 bacterial strains, which were isolated from the cloaca of 25 Chinese alligators. One genus and four species were identified in eight bacterial strains, which were isolated from the water where the alligators live. According to the analysis, except for the unclassified bacterium, the other bacteria from the cloaca were not pathogenic and were different from the bacteria isolated from the water. Thus, it was concluded that the 24 Chinese alligators were healthy, and could be selected to be released into the wild. As subject AS 12 was identified carrying an unclassified bacteria, of which the characteristics were unknown, it was suggested that the AS 12 individual not be released.展开更多

The camel milk plays a vital role in the food of the Algerian nomads in the Sahara. During February and September, 20 samples of the raw camel＇s milk were taken starting from different livestock of camels from three different Sahariennes regions （Bechar, EI-Bayadh and Naama）. These 20 collected samples were analyzed by physico-chemical and microbiological methods. The results of physicochemical analyze obtained from two hot and cold seasons are respectively the following： T ~C （35.83 and 33.95）, pH （6.36 and 6.49）, density （1.031 and 1.032）, dornic acidity （18.6 and 18.3 ~D）, dry matter （93.4 and 144.8 g/L）, fat contents （30 and 52.1 g/L）, total protein （26.3 and 33.1 g/L） and ashes （7.46 and 8.66 g/L）. The protein profile obtained by electrophoretic analysis （SDS-PAGE） showed that camel milk contains several types of proteins and some have a molecular weight identical to major proteins of the cow＇s milk. The final results showed that camel milk has generally a comparable composition to that of bovine milk. The microbiological analysis, of these samples, detected a significant number of the total microflora, Staphylococcus aureus and total coliforms. The absence of Clostridium and fecal coliforms was observed. Several species of lactic acid bacteria were detected such as Lactococcus lactis subsp, lactis, Lactococcus lactis subsp, lactis biovar, diacetylactis, Weissella cibaria and Enteroccocusfeacalis.展开更多

To understand the effects of the Sinorhizobium meliloti nifA gene on Alfalfa, the cDNA-AFLP technique was employed to study the changes in gene expression in nifA mutant nodules. Among the approximately 3,000 transcriptderived fragments, 37 had differential expression levels. These expression levels were subsequently confirmed by reverse Northern blot and RT-polymerase chain reaction. Sequence analyses revealed that 21 cDNA fragments corresponded to genes involved in signal communication, protein degradation, nutrient metabolism, cell growth and development.展开更多

Each sample was studied in the lab by taking measurements on the morphological structures of the cap, stem, and recording gill＇s color, shape and dimensions. Also smell and taste for each fruiting structure were taken in consideration. Spore print for each sample was also defined. Spores of each mushroom were microscopically tested and measured. These mushrooms were identified as Pleurotus eryngi and Tricholoma terreum. The two mushrooms were evaluated for their physical properties, chemical and mineral composition. Contents of Ca, Na, K, Zn, Mn, Cu, Fe and Mg were determined. For each mushroom species two mixed samples were analyzed. Nitrogen content was detected with Kjeldahl method and protein content （%） was calculated by multiplying nitrogen content with the factor 4.38. The highest protein content calculated on oven dry weight basis was found in Pleurotus eryngi which was around 30.6%, while Tricholoma terreum contained lowest protein content （17.4%）. Pleurotus eryngi accumulated trace elements at high ratios as for P, Ca and Na 0.99%, 0.65% and 0.57% respectively while Tricholoma terreum contained more K （5.1%） than the other wild mushroom. Total soluble carbohydrates （50.8%）, crude fiber （13.4%） and ash （12.2%） percentages were higher in Tricholoma terreum than in Pleurotus eryngi.展开更多
