Lysozyme Anodonta cygnea was more active than Lysozyme Uniopictorum, especially against Gram-negative bacterias. Combination of Macropen and Lysozyme Unio pictorum has a synergistic effect, while a separation of these antibacterial agents was not active against some of the strains of microorganisms.展开更多

The lipolitic, hemolytic and DNAse activities were identified along with the genes gelE, cylL, cylS, ccf, cpd and cob that, encode virulence determinants. Thirty seven percent of isolates inhibited Listeria monocytogenes （CERELA）, Listeria innocuous （CERELA）, Staphylococcus aureus （ATCC25932）, Lactococcus lactis （IL1403）, Micrococcus luteus （ATCC 10240） and Enterococcusfaecalis （ATCC29212）. All strains were sensitive to the ampicillin antibiotic, but 47% were resistant to at least one antimicrobial agent and 6% of isolates presented multidrug resistance. Ninety seven percent of isolates contained the gelE gene, but 77% of these isolates showed gelatinase activity. Presence of cylL and cylS genes was observed in 25% of the isolates, but only 5% presented hemolytic activity. None isolates showed lipase and DNAse activities. Eight percent of isolates contained the ccf gene and 2% showed the presence of the cpd and cob genes. The ability to inhibit pathogenic bacteria, low resistance to antibiotics and absence of virulence factors make some of Enterococcusfaecalis strains characterized in the present study promising for exploitation in other applications such as probiotics in aquaculture.展开更多

Early Early Campanian climatic optimum has been recognized from data on high bottom shelf water paleotemperatures in middle latitudes of both the western circum-Pacific （to 24.2℃） and the eastern circum-Pacific （to 26.4℃） areas and high bottom shallow water paleotemperatures in high latitudes of the Koryak Upland （22.4-25.5℃）, which agrees with the data on the Campanian Barykovskaya flora in high latitudes （Golovneva and Herman, 1998） and Jonker flora and its equivalents in middle latitudes. Judging from the data on comparatively high bottom shallow water paleotemperature values in high latitudes, South Alaska （19.4℃） and the Koryak Upland （22.4-25.5℃）, we also expect Latest Campauian temperature maximum, which has not been confirmed, however, for low and middle latitudes by neither of isotopic nor paleobotanic data now. Main dimatic tendency during the Campanian （with the exception of Latest Campanian） has been learned from isotopic composition of Campanian aragonitic ammonoid shells from the Hokkaido-South Sakhalin （Krilyon） marine basin. In contrary to Huber＇s et al. （2002） assumption, we expect warm greenhouse conditions during the most part of the Campanian.展开更多
