Taxonomy and Polyphasic Characterization of Alkaline Amylase Producing Marine Actinomycete Streptomyces rochei BTSS 1001 by Aparna Acharyabhatta, Siva Kumar Kandula, Ramana Terli

“…The presence of iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, and anteiso-C17 : 0 as the major cellular fatty acids, LL-diaminopimelic acid as the characteristic cell wall component, and menaquinones MK-9H(6) and MK-9H(8) as the major isoprenoid quinones is attributed to the strain BTSS 1001 belonging to the genus Streptomyces. Comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain BTSS 1001 exhibited the highest similarities to the type strains of Streptomyces rochei (99%), Streptomyces plicatus (99%), and Streptomyces enissocaesilis (99%). …”

Multiple Positive Solutions of Singular Nonlinear Sturm-Liouville Problems with Carathéodory Perturbed Term by Yuefeng Han, Xinguang Zhang, Lishan Liu, Yonghong Wu

“…By employing a well-known fixed point theorem, we establish the existence of multiple positive solutions for the following fourth-order singular differential equation Lu=p(t)f(t,u(t),u′′(t))-g(t,u(t),u′′(t)),0<t<1,α1u(0)-β1u'(0)=0,γ1u(1)+δ1u'(1)=0,α2u′′(0)-β2u′′′(0)=0,γ2u′′(1)+δ2u′′′(1)=0, with αi,βi,γi,δi≥0 and βiγi+αiγi+αiδi>0,    i=1,2, where L denotes the linear operator Lu:=(ru′′′)'-qu′′,r∈C1([0,1],(0,+∞)), and q∈C([0,1],[0,+∞)). This equation is viewed as a perturbation of the fourth-order Sturm-Liouville problem, where the perturbed term g:(0,1)×[0,+∞)×(-∞,+∞)→(-∞,+∞) only satisfies the global Carathéodory conditions, which implies that the perturbed effect of g on f is quite large so that the nonlinearity can tend to negative infinity at some singular points.…”
