The aim of the present papaer was to realize a screening for phytase producing bacteria isolated from soil where pig manure was stored. It was used PSM, PKA media and the molybdate-blue method in order to determine the presence of phytase-phosphate solubilizing-and proteaze-producing bacteria. About half of the bacterial isolates were phytase producers
Asbestos structure and composition contribute to the lung injury and to the inflammation induced by this natural fiber. The result of this study is that neutrophile to lymphocyte ratio correlates significantly to timing of progress of the radiological lesions in the evolution of patients with asbestosis, followed for 5 years. If confirmed in larger studies, this could become a cost-effective biomarker for the asbestosis evolution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
