Staphylococcus aureus dan Propianibacterium acnes adalah bakteri yang menjadi salah satu penyebab masalah jerawat pada kulit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan daya hambat dari ekstrak etanol 96% tali putri (Cassytha filiformis L.) terhadap S.aureus P. acnes. Uji aktivitas antibakteri dilakukan peneltian menggunakan metode difusi cakram. Ekstrak tanaman diuji konsentrasi 0,75%, 1,5%, 3%...

Relatively diverse trace fossils made by insects, other arthropods and oligochaete worms occur in the Miocene lacustrine marginal deposits of Calatayud-Teruel basin (NE Spain). They include ichnospecies Celliforma isp., Celliforma? isp. A B, aff. habari, Rosellichnus cf. arabicus, Spongeliomorpha Labyrintichnus terrerensis n. igen. et Taenidium barreti, Beaconites filiformis Polykladichnus arag...

The work treats 52 species-group names related to genus Agrilus incorrectly cited in the world catalogue of Bellamy (2008). The name dimorphus Théry, 1941 from the genus Aphanisticus and mulleri Théry, 1925 from the genus Australodraco are also treated. Four primary or secondary homonyms are replaced by substitute names. Most of the proposed changes refer to the availability, validity, spelling...

Vitreoscilla filiformis (VF) biomass (VFB) has been widely used in cosmetic preparations and shown to modulate the major inducible free-radical scavenger mitochondrial superoxide dismutase in skin cells. By adding La Roche-Posay (LRP) thermal spring water to the VF culture medium, we obtained a biomass (LRP-VFB) with a similar mitochondrial superoxide dismutase activation capacity to VF. Also, ...

divided into three major areas: the coast, the central valleys, and the river basins. Rainfall is less than in the Gulf Coast region, averaging from 20 to 60 inches annually. The important indigenous grasses are Hilaria semplei, H. cenchroides, Bouteloua filiformis, B. curtipendula, Cathestecum erectum, C. multifidum, Opixia stolonifera, Heteropogon contortus, Panicum spp., Paspalum spp., E I y...

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) isolated from brittlestars, Echinodermata class Ophiuroidea, were characterized, as part of attempts to understand the evolutionary development of these polysaccharides. A population of chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) chains with a high overall degree of sulfation and hexuronate epimerization was the major GAG found, whereas heparan sulfate (HS) was below ...

The aim of this study was to examine the hypothesis that plants with higher ploidy levels are selected by environments under more extremely stressful conditions than the same (or closely related) species from less rigorous terrestrial or epiphytic habitats. Therefore, we analyzed the chromosome numbers of 26 species belonging to 21 genera and 13 families of angiosperms that were collected on 4 ...

A literature-based taxonomic catalogue of the nemertean species (Phylum Nemertea) reported from Japanese waters is provided, listing 19 families, 45 genera, and 120 species as valid. Applications of the following species names to forms previously recorded from Japanese waters are regarded as uncertain: Amphiporus cervicalis, Amphiporus depressus, Amphiporus lactifloreus, Cephalothrix filiformis...

The distribution of neurokinin A-like immunoreactive cell bodies and fibers in the diencephalon of the cat was studied using an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. A high or moderate density of immunoreactive neurons was observed in the nuclei habenularis lateralis, medialis dorsalis, parafascicularis, hypothalamus posterior, area hypothalamica dorsalis, hypothalamus lateralis, periventricular...

Cytochrome b6-f particles were prepared from chloroplasts of spinach and the heterokont alga Bumilleriopsis filiformis using digitonin in comparison with non-ionic detergents. The cytochrome b6-f particles are solubilized in different amounts according to chemical structure and HLB value of the detergent (see Griffin, J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem. 1, 311 [1949]). Also the ratio of the two cytochromes i...
