This study evaluated the chemical profile and antimicrobial activity of essential oil (EO) P. dioica. The EOs were extracted by hydrodistillation chemically characterized gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC/MS). total phenolics quantified Folin Ciocalteu method. For assay, Disc Diffusion Broth Dilution method applied obtain minimum inhibitory concentration bactericidal concentra...

background aflatoxins are highly toxic secondary metabolites mainly produced by aspergillus parasiticus. this species can contaminate a wide range of agricultural commodities, including cereals, peanuts, and crops in the field. in recent years, research on medicinal herbs, such as pistacia atlantica subsp. kurdica, have led to reduced microbial growth, and these herbs also have a particular eff...

objective(s): the enzymatic activity of fungi has recently inspired the scientists with re-explore the fungi as potential biofactories rather than the causing agents of humans and plants infections. in very recent years, fungi are considered as worthy, applicable and available candidates for synthesis of smaller gold, silver and other nano-sized particles.  materials and methods: a standard str...

Parasiticol, a metabolite structurally related to the aflatoxins, has been isolated and characterized. The compound is elaborated by several strains of the Aspergillus jiaDus series previously shown to be aflatoxin producers. The metabolite was separated and purified by chromatography Oll three columns (silicic acid, silica gel, and alumiua) followed by recrystallization from chlorofom,-bexane....

This study was conducted to estimation of fungal species and aflatoxin B1 in some types Spices Salah Al-deen governorate markets. In this Six Aspergillus were detected which A. flavus, parasiticus, fumigatus, terreus, ochraceus niger 5 genus fungi Fusarium verticillioides, Penicillium, Mucor, Alternariaand Rhizopus isolated on the three media used. The results show presence mycotoxins all sampl...
