conclusions the results showed that the effect of l. acidophilus is time-dependent. materials and methods antioxidant biomarkers, such as total antioxidant power (tap), measured with the frap (ferric-reducing ability of plasma) method, were evaluated at 24, 48, and 72 hours. results the results showed that extracts and bacteria of l. acidophilus were able to significantly increase tap after 24 ...

The authors and other members of their group have already written some papers and research reports on specifying telephone call processing in LOTOS. Two such papers, where two differently organized specifications of the Plain Old Telephone System service (POTS) were presented, were [FLS 90][FLS 91]. The specification in the second paper was mainly in the constraint-oriented style, while the one...

the purpose of this study was to examine the potential application of sorbitol, sucrose and gelatin in combination with glycerol in order to theileria annulata infected cell line cryo-preservation. the efficiency of the freezing methods was compared by assessing the viability and plating efficiency of cells after resuscitation, dilution and equilibration in cell culture medium. as a result, the...

Abstract The beneficial effects of biochar (BC) and plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPR) to increase crop yields under harsh environments have been widely reported. However, the knowledge on synergistic BC PGPR induce drought tolerance in oilseeds is scant. In present study, cotton sticks derived together with strains ( Paraburkholderia phytofirmans Bacillus sp.) were examined water-stressed ...

Background & Aims: Probiotic bacteria have beneficial effects on host's health. However, one of the most important reasons which affect the probiotic activity of a microorganism is its survival during the gut transit. Microencapsulation techniques could be applied to bacteria to improve this parameter. Methods: In this study, feces of 60 healthy volunteers were analyzed during 28-day test perio...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To investigate whether patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) developed unexpected perioperative complications. DESIGN Retrospective case series. SETTING Academic medical center. MEASUREMENTS The records of 13 patients with POTS, who underwent surgical procedures during general anesthesia, were studied. Details of disease management, anesthetic indu...

because of inhibitory effect, selected probiotic lactobacilli may be used as biological preservative, so, the aim of this study was to present some data on lactobacillus as probiotic bacteria. lactic acid bacteria were isolated from sausage. each isolate of lactobacillus species was identified by biochemical tests and comparing their sugar fermentation pattern. antibacterial activities were don...

Endophytic microorganism live inter or intra cellularly in most of the plant tissues without causing any disease symptoms. Endophytes are known to produce plant growth promoting compounds. Cytokinin is a group of plant growth regulators (PGRs) and can be exploited in agriculture for both pre-harvest and postharvest management of leafy vegetables, fruits and cut flowers. The objective of this st...

conclusions it should be kept in mind that the oral flora bacterium s. anginosus may cause transient bacteremia and deep-seated organ abscesses in immunodeficient patients with poor oral hygiene. such patients with intra-abdominal abscesses should be treated with antibiotics and surgery. introduction the streptococcus anginosus group of bacteria are low-virulence bacteria existing as commensals...
