The effect of commercially available chestnut and mimosa tannins in vitro (experiment 1) or in vivo (experiment 2) on the growth or recovery of Escherichia coli O157:H7 or generic fecal E. coli was evaluated. In experiment 1, the mean growth rate of E. coli O157:H7, determined via the measurement of optical density at 600 nm during anaerobic culture in tryptic soy broth at 37 degrees C, was red...

Mimosa pudica Lin., known as chue Mue, is a stout straggling prostrate shrubby plant, with spinous stipules and globose pinkish flower heads, and grows as weed in almost all parts of the country. It is traditionally used for its various properties and hence in the present study, chloroform extract of Mimosapudica leaves has been screened for its hypolipidemic activity. Hypolipidemic activity is...

Mimosa é um gênero Neotropical, com grande representatividade na Caatinga, domínio onde está inserido o município de Cachoeira dos Índios. Na área estudo, os representantes do foram coletados no período dezembro/2018 a janeiro/2020. Foram levantadas nove espécies Mimosa: (M. arenosa (Willd.) Poir., M. camporum Benth., candollei R. Grether, debilis Humb. & Bonpl. ex Willd., invisa Mart. Coll...

Mature motor cells of Mimosa pudica that exhibit large and rapid turgor variations in response to external stimuli are characterized by two distinct types of vacuoles, one containing large amounts of tannins (tannin vacuole) and one without tannins (colloidal or aqueous vacuole). In these highly specialized cells we measured the abundance of two tonoplast proteins, a putative water-channel prot...

Measuring the natural resistance of wood is fundamental for proper use. The durability five tropical species was investigated by field decay testing during exposure 360 days. Wood logs (length 0,5 m; diameter 8 cm - 12 cm) were used in this study. mass loss and index calculated visual analysis time performed all samples. samples presented evidence two different groups concerning durability. fir...
