Flo antibacterial peptide from the tropical tree Moringa oleifera: A template for novel antibacterial agents

2 RÉSUMÉ Flo, un peptide antibactérien isolé de l'arbre tropical Moringa oleifera: Une base pour de nouvelles substances antibactériennes Les peptides antimicrobiens sont essentiels à la survie d'organismes multicellulaires. Ils servent à lutter contre des microbes pathogènes et à contrôler les communautés commensales inoffensives. Jusqu'à aujourd'hui ces peptides n'ont pas permis aux microbes ...

Lakoocha: A Multipurpose Tree of Warm Climate

INTRODUCTION Artocarpus lakoocha Roxb., Moraceae, is a valuable tropical tree species native to India and used for fruit, furniture, timber, and feed. The lakoocha fruits are generally eaten fresh. Each fruit contains 20–30 seeds that are fleshy with thin seed coat. The edible fruit pulp is believed to act as a tonic for the liver. Raw fruits and male flower spike (acidic and astringent) are ut...

Water relations of drumstick tree seed (Moringa oleifera): imbibition, desiccation, and sorption isotherms

Interest in seed propagation of drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera) has created a need for information about the water relationships of its seeds. Thus, we studied the imbibition and desiccation kinetics and adsorption/ desorption isotherms of drumstick tree seeds. Seeds absorbed water readily when imbibed at 23oC. After 17 h of exposure to an atmosphere of 100% relative humidity (RH), seed moist...

Bioremediation of Turbid Surface Water Using Seed Extract from the Moringa oleifera Lam. (Drumstick) Tree.

An indigenous water treatment method uses Moringa oleifera seeds in the form of a crude water-soluble extract in suspension, resulting in an effective natural clarification agent for highly turbid and untreated pathogenic surface water. Efficient reduction (80.0% to 99.5%) of high turbidity produces an aesthetically clear supernatant, concurrently accompanied by 90.00% to 99.99% (1 to 4 log) ba...
