Investigation of Methane Oxidizers Community in Soil by Using Denaturant Gradient Gel Electrophoresis

 Methanotrophs in soil serves as a major atmospheric methane sink, and soil management has a direct impact on the diversity of microorganisms in soil. This study was set to identify methanotrophs in soil under different management systems. The study was conducted at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC), Ohio State University (OSU), Wooster, Ohio, US as part of their long continuous research in No-Till production.

Biodegradation of oil spills and fuel contaminated soils by Streptomyces isolates

         Five soil samples (contaminated with oil spills for many years) were collected from different places in Baghdad. From these samples, fourteen isolates were obtained as a preliminary degraders for hydrocarbons. The isolates were recultured in the mineral salt medium supplemented with crude oil and diesel, separately, to ensure their degradation ability.

Effect of Magnetic Field on Growth and Biochemical Indices of Some Fungi

The effect of static magnetic field on the growth and biochemical indices of five fungal species were studied (Aspergillus niger, Alternaria alternate, Fusarium oxysporum, Penicillium chrysogenium and Rhizopus oryzae). Exposing the above species to the northern pole, southern pole and both poles and their influences were compared with the control treatment (without magnetic field energy).

Isolation, Identification and Genetics of Nylon6 Degrading Pseudomonas putida

Sixty-four soil samples (contaminatedwith nylon waste for many years) were collected from different places in Baghdad. From these samples, fortysevenisolates were obtained as a degrader for nylon6
film.These isolates were repeatedly tested in mineral salt medium supplemented withnylon6 film to ensure their degradation ability; only 27 isolates appeared tohave degradation ability fornylon6

Effect of Liposome Conjugated Lipopolysacchariede of Shigella flexneri Against Shigellosis in Mice

This study was conducted to determine the role of lipopolysaccahride-liposome conjugate (LPS-LIP) as a potential vaccine against shigellosis in mice. One hundred stool samples were collected from children and infants (100cases: 63 males and 37 females) under the age of five years (40 days – 2.5 years old) with diarrhea from different hospitals in Baghdad city during the period December 2011-May 2012.
