Resonance Raman data are reported for the redox-activated form of galactose oxidase from Dactylium dendroides. Excitation within the red (659 nm) and blue (457.9 nm) absorption bands leads to strong resonance enhancement of ligated tyrosine vibrational modes at 550, 1170, 1247, 1484, and 1595 cm-1. The ring mode frequencies are unusually low, indicating a decreased bond order in the ring. The s...

Glyoxal oxidase is produced by ligninolytic cultures of the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium and is a source of the extracellular H2O2 that is required by ligninolytic peroxidases. We report here the cloning and characterization of glx-1c cDNA, which encodes glyoxal oxidase. The deduced mature protein has 537 amino acids, a molecular size of 57 kDa, and a pI of 5.1. Five potential N...

Results The data analyzed so far revealed the presence of different pollen and fungal species at both sites. The ratio between the pollen and fungal spores was 1:5. The airborne pollen grains showed quantitative and qualitative differences between the two sites. At FD site, the major pollen grains included Phoenix dactylifera (31%), grass pollen (14%), Atriplex nummularia (12%), Amaranthus viri...

some chemical characteristics of root, shoot and litter of index species such as salsola rigida, artemisia sieberi and stipa barbata commonly used in rangeland development projects were evaluated and compared. chemical properties of soil under and between the above mentioned species were also studied. for this purpose, vegetation types of stipa barbata and artemisia sieberi - salsola rigida wer...

Salsola drummondii Ulbr. is a perennial halophyte found in salt deserts of southern Balochistan, Pakistan. Experiments were conducted to study the effects of salinity (0, 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 mM NaCl), thermoperiod (10/20, 15/25, 20/30 and 25/35C), light (12-h photoperiod and dark) and dormancy regulating chemicals (DRCs) on germination, recovery and viability of the seeds of S. drummond...

Near complete rabies virus N gene sequences (1,110 nt) were determined for 82 isolates obtained from different regions of Russia between 2008 and 2016. These sequences were analyzed together with 108 representative GenBank sequences from 1977-2016 using the Bayesian coalescent approach. The timing of the major evolutionary events was estimated. Most of the isolates represented the steppe rabies...

The one-loop effective potential in 2D dilaton gravity in conformal gauge on the topologically non-trivial plane IR×S and on the hyperbolic plane H/Γ is calculated. For arbitrary choice of the tree scalar potential it is shown, that the one-loop effective potential explicitly depends on the reference metric (through the dependence on the radius of the torus or the radius of H/Γ). This phenomeno...
