effects of different carbon sources on growth and production of antifungal agent(s) by gymnopilus spectabilis were investigated. different carbon sources including; glucose, fructose, lactose, maltose, manitol and sucrose at the concentration of 10 g/l and slow releasing carbon sources including malt extract and soluble starch at the concentration of 2g/l were used. inhibition of spore germinat...

different recovery mechanisms are activated during the production from reservoirs. wells sometimes are kept with the injection. therefore the evaluation of injection indices depended on material injection, seems to be necessary. this study is going to determine the drive indices for a reservoir by making a model using eclipse. the model consists a gas cap and aquifer, in which there is an injec...

in order to control of penicilluim digitatum fungi in vitro condition, the effect of essential oils of cinnamomum verum, zataria multiflora, mentha pipereta, carum carvi, lavandula officinalis and satureja hortensis on inhibition of spore germination and colony growth at 25,50,75 ppm concentration, was examined. results showed that the cinnamon essential oil had the best effect on inhibition of...

This study investigated (1) the susceptibility of Bacillus anthracis (Ames strain), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 19659), and Clostridium sporogenes (ATCC 3584) spores to commercially available peracetic acid (PAA)- and glutaraldehyde (GA)-based disinfectants, (2) the effects that heat-shocking spores after treatment with these disinfectants has on spore recovery, and (3) the timing of heat-shocking ...

twenty-one patients with advanced breast cancer (7 premenopausal and 14 postmenopausal women) were treated with a combination of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and cisplatin (cap). the median age of the patients was 43 years (range 36-61). this therapy was repeated every 3 weeks. nine patients (group 1) received cap as primary therapy for metastatic breast cancer, and twelve patients (group 2) ...

The 5'-cap of spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs, some small nucleolar RNAs and of telomerase RNA was found to be hypermethylated in vivo. The Trimethylguanosine Synthase 1 (TGS1) mediates this conversion of the 7-methylguanosine-cap to the 2,2,7-trimethylguanosine (m(3)G)-cap during maturation of the RNPs. For mammalian UsnRNAs the generated m(2,2,7)G-cap is one part of a bipartite import signal ...

Idiopathic calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone-formers (ICSFs) differ from patients who make idiopathic calcium phosphate (CaP) stones (IPSFs). ICSFs, but not IPSFs, form their stones as overgrowths on interstitial apatite plaque; the amount of plaque covering papillary surface is positively correlated with urine calcium excretion and inversely with urine volume. The amount of plaque predicts the numb...

The spores of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) play critical roles in the population and community development of EMF. Here, the germination and infectivity of EMF spores are examined with reference to the ecological traits of the EMF species. Spores were collected from 12 EMF species, whose successional patterns have been studied in the volcanic desert on Mount Fuji, Japan. Spore germination experi...

Clostridium sordellii is an often-lethal bacterium causing human and animal disease. Crucial to the infectious cycle of C. sordellii is its ability to produce spores, which can germinate into toxin-producing vegetative bacteria under favorable conditions. However, structural details of the C. sordellii spore are lacking. Here, we used a range of electron microscopy techniques together with supe...

Spores of Clostridium sp. N1 are characterized by numerous broad ribbon-like appendages attached to one end. The appendages are two to three times the length of the spore and, at their maximal dimension, may be two-thirds the width of the spore. They are attached to the spore body by a common trunk which is continuous with the outer spore coat. Each appendage is a multilayered structure and is ...
