In spite of the chemical, physical, and biological benefits that Crotalaria spectabilis can provide to soil, it is little used as a green manure crop by farmers. Inoculation with strains legume-nodulating nitrogen-fixing bacteria are efficient competitive may be strategy enhance accumulation N in C. stimulate adoption this crop. The aims study were i) evaluate symbiotic agronomic efficiency new...

AIMS The aim of the study was to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial effects of glucosinolate hydrolysis products (GHP) against plant pathogenic micro-organisms namely Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Erwinia chrysanthemi, Pseudomonas cichorii, Pseudomonas tomato, Xanthomonas campestris and Xanthomonas juglandis. METHODS AND RESULTS Using a disc diffusion assay, seven different doses of 10 GHP were...

Fungi (Rhizopus stolonifer, Trichoderma viride, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. conglutinans, Cunninghamella echinulata, and several species of Aspergillus and Penicillium) tolerated higher concentrations of cadmium (Cd) when grown in soil than when grown on laboratory media, indicating that soil mitigated the toxic effects of Cd. In soil amended with clay minerals, montmorillonite provided partial o...

abstract       background and objective: the spread of drug resistance in bacteria have prompted researchers to seek suitable alternative for antimicrobial drugs among various medicinal plants and nanoparticles. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of silver nanoparticles alone and in combination with methanol extract of zataria multiflora on five gram-positive and gram-negative bac...

In this paper, synthesis and antimicrobial properties of cationic dye were investigated. 4-acetylamino-N-2-aminomethylpyridine-1,8-naphthalimide was reacted with 1-bromobutane as the alkylating agent and a cationic dye was obtained. The final product was purified by column chromatography method. The chemical structure of the novel cationic dye and its intermediates was chracterisized by using F...
