Systematics of a widely distributed western North American springsnail, Pyrgulopsis micrococcus (Caenogastropoda, Hydrobiidae), with descriptions of three new congeners

open access: yesZooKeys, 2013
We describe three new species of springsnails (genus Pyrgulopsis) from the Amargosa River basin, California and Nevada (P. licina sp. n., P. perforata sp. n., P. sanchezi sp. n.), each of which was previously considered to be part of P. micrococcus.

Differentiation of Micrococcus luteus and Micrococcus varians on the Basis of Catalase Isoenzymes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Microbiology, 1976
Crude extracts prepared from four Micrococcus varians strains, 11 M. luteus strains and four laboratory isolates subsequently classified with M. luteus were assayed for catalase activity following electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels. The enzyme patterns produced from the M. varians strains exhibited three catalase isoenzymes which were distinguished

Superoxide Dismutase of Micrococcus sp. S2 and Its Involve in Paraquat Detoxification

open access: yesIndonesian Journal of Biotechnology, 2007
As an active ingredient of herbicide, paraquat will induce formation of superoxide radicals. The previous research succeeded in isolating paraquat degrading bacteria from peat soil, Micrococcus sp. S2, that tolerant to high concentration of paraquat.

Note on a Madras Micrococcus [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1887
THE sole charge of a Presidential Museum and the study of that high-road to pathological eminence, bacteriology, are unfortunately not compatible, but I have not been able to resist the rough investigation of a phenomenon which stands prominently out before my eyes as I write. It consists of a thin, homogeneous, pale pink pellicle, covering the chunam (

Induction of inflammatory response in human cell lines by arsenic-contaminated soil-isolated bacterium Micrococcus sp. KUMAs15

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2019
Background An arsenic-resistant microbial strain, Micrococcus sp. KUMAs15 isolated from West Bengal, India, has demonstrated high resistance to arsenic due to its arsenic accumulation and adsorption ability, establishing the strain as a potential arsenic

Extrachromosomal genetic elements in Micrococcus

open access: yesApplied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2012
Micrococci are Gram-positive G + C-rich, nonmotile, nonspore-forming actinomycetous bacteria. Micrococcus comprises ten members, with Micrococcus luteus being the type species. Representatives of the genus play important roles in the biodegradation of xenobiotics, bioremediation processes, production of biotechnologically important enzymes or bioactive

Nanofillers Reinforcing Biopolymer Composites for Sustainable Food Packaging Applications: A State‐of‐the‐Art Review

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biopolymers are sustainable, biodegradable alternatives to petroleum‐based plastics for food packaging. Its adoption is often limited by poor mechanical strength, barrier properties, and improved thermal stability through the incorporation of nanofillers.
