SCIRPUS LACUSTRIS (Linn.)

Impact of rhizobacteria on growth and chromium accumulation in Scirpus lacustris L. grown under chromium supplementation.

Four chromate tolerant rhizobacterial strains viz., RZB-01, RZB-02, RZB-03 and RZB-04 were isolated from rhizosphere of Scirpus lacustris collected from Cr-contaminated area. These strains characterized at morphological and biochemical levels. The most efficient chromate tolerant strain RZB-03 was inoculated to fresh plant of S. lacustris and grown in 2 microg ml(-1) and 5 microg ml(-1) of Cr+6...

Ocular infection associated with Delftia lacustris: first report.

Stilbenes and a New Acetophenone Derivative from Scirpus holoschoenus

Separation of the extract of the tubers of Scirpus holoschoenus L. (family Cyperaceae), a species easily confused with Juncus plants, afforded 2-prenyl-3,5,4'trimethoxystilbene, 2-prenyl-3-hydroxy-5,4'-dimethoxystilbene, 2-prenyl-3,4'-dihydroxy5-methoxy-stilbene and 3,5,4'-trimethoxystilbene, in addition to a new acetophenone derivative. The isolated compounds were identified on the basis of sp...
