The preliminary result of a survey conducted on Xylaria species in the North of Iran is presented. Based on morphological examination of fungal specimens collected from Guilan, Mazandaran and Golestan provinces, eight species including Xylaria arbuscula, X. cubensis, X. filiformis, X. hypoxylon, X. longipes, X. multiplex, X. pannosa, and X. polymorpha were identified. Among the identified speci...

Bu çalışma, metabolik ve oksidatif stres biyobelirteçlerinin analizi yoluyla, su kirliliğinin iyi bir biyoindikatörü olarak kabul edilen tatlı omurgasızı Dreissena polymorpha üzerindeki Gadolinyum (Gd) toksisitesini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Öncelikle çalışmamızda Gd’nin D. LC50 değeri belirlenmiştir. polymorpha, kontrollü koşullar altında 24 96 saatlik süre boyunca üç letal olmayan Gd ko...

Isolates of Mima polymorpha and Herellea vaginicola obtained from retail food products were investigated for their ability to hydrolyze proteins, starch, and lipids as well as for their ability to initiate growth under varying conditions of pH, sodium chloride concentration, and temperature. None of the isolates hydrolyzed starch and a few hydrolyzed proteins, whereas most were actively lipolyt...

The acetone extract of the lichen Ramalina farinacea and its (+)-usnic acid constituent showed antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Listeria monocytogenes, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, Yersinia enterocolitica, Candida albicans, and Candida glabrata. Norstictic acid was active against Aeromonas hydrophila as well as the above microorganisms except...

The plasma membrane H-ATPase generates an electrochemical gradient of H across the plasma membrane that provides the driving force for solute transport and regulates pH homeostasis and membrane potential in plant cells. Recent studies have demonstrated that phosphorylation of the penultimate threonine in H-ATPase and subsequent binding of a 14-3-3 protein is the major common activation mechanis...

Cell suspensions of Marchantia polymorpha hydrogenate progesterone to 5alpha-pregnane-3,20-dione. Structure elucidation of the product was achieved by comprehensive NMR analyses.
