results: the lowest concentrations of nzvi that inhibited the visible growth (mic) of e. amylovora, x. oryzae, b. cereus and streptomyces spp. were 625, 550, 1250 and 1280 ppm, respectively. the minimum bactericidal concentration (mbc) for e. amylovora and x. oryzae were 10,000 and 5,000 ppm of nzvi, respectively. mbc was not observed for the gram positive bacteria. no bacteriostatic and bacter...

the present study was undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of the ethanolic extract of echinophora platyloba dc. on candida albicans. using the agar dilution method, the growth condition of standard candida albicans atcc 10231, cultured on the media containing plant extracts at different concentrations (1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128 and 256 mg/ml) was studied. the results were recorded twenty one...

milk-based espresso coffee is one of the most popular beverages. foam is an essential quality characteristic for this beverage. foam formation and stability is mainly related to the milk composition. in this study the influence of three different concentrations of xanthan gum (0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 g dm-3) and three different temperatures (50, 60 and 70 °c) on foam stability were examined and exper...

the main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary inclusion of wheat or corn as the main source of starch in prepartum diets on colostrum composition, colostrum igg1 and igg2 concentrations, serum igg1 and igg2 concentrations of calves and efficiency of igg1, igg2 and total ig absorption. for this purpose, thirty primiparous and twenty multiparous holstein cows were used in...

electrochemical aptamer-based sensors attract a lot of interest as useful methods because of their low cost, accuracy, sensitivity, and simplicity. an electro-active redox molecule comprises the main part of the electrochemical-based sensors. ferrocene is one of the most popular redox molecule used in biosensor fabrication. but, instability of ferrocenium ion in strong nucleophilic reagents and...

Treatment of Leishmaniasis which is endemic in 97 conutries around the world is important and is ranked 7th among research priority of WHO. As the number of resistant types to glucantim (drug of choice) is increasing, investigation on the effect of other drugs like allopurinol seems essential. In this survey, we cultured L-Major ASKH5 promatigotes in different media containing glucantim with co...

The normally monomeric 01 subunit of Escherichia coti tryptophan synthetase forms dimers and higher order aggregates following exposure to high urea concentrations and removal of the urea by dialysis. The maximum yield of cx chain dimers is approximately 2%. Dimers of certain combinations of different enzymatically inactive mutant (Y monomers exhibit the missing enzymatic activity. In such hete...
