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 Magnetic Field Energy on the Growth and Aflatoxin Production by Aspergillus flavus

The study was conducted to conclude the effect of the magnetic field poles on aflatoxins produced by toxogenic Aspergillus flavus.  The fungus had been exposed to the northern pole, southern pole; both poles and their influences were compared with the control at which the fungus is not affected by magnetic field energy.
