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).
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
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. Thirty isolates were suspected to be Shigella.
