Genetic study on locally isolated Gluconacetobacter xylinus and its ability in cellulose production

For the isolation of Gluconacetobacter xylinus, different food samples were collected from local markets in Baghdad governorate. These samples includes 66 vinegar samples (dates vinegar, date syrup vinegar and apple vinegar), and 54 rotting fruit samples (apple, peach and grape). From the overall of 120 samples a total of 105 isolates were obtained, seventy four of them were identified as Gluconacetobater spp according to their ability in acetic acid production.

Salmonella typhimurium Outer MembraneProteins- E.coli Polysaccharides as Conjugated Vaccine Against Salmonellosis in Mice

This study was designed to investigate the protective effect of non porin outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of Salmonella typhimurium and O-specific polysaccharide (OSP) of E.coli as conjugated vaccine against salmonellosis. One hundred urine samples were collected from patients with UTI. E.coli was isolated, identified by performing some biochemical tests and API   E system and O-specific polysaccharide was extracted by phenol hot water method. The outer membrane proteins  (OMPs) of S.
