Feeding in Navanax inermis Cooper was filmed and analysed after various dissections. In preparations with a cut through the body wall exposing the pharynx and buccal ganglia, completely normal feeding was observed. In addition to seven motor acts previously described in intact animals, an eighth act, peristalsis, was observed. In preparations with the pharynx excised from the animal but attache...

From the aerial parts of Clerodendrum inerme, two megastigmane glucosides (sammangaosides A and B) and a iridoid glucoside (sammangaoside C) were isolated together with 15 known compounds. The structural elucidations were based on analyses of physical and spectroscopic data.

Exogenous nitrogen (N) inputs greatly change the emission and uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) methane (CH4) from temperate grassland soils, thereby affecting (C) budget regional terrestrial ecosystems. Relevant research focused on natural grassland, but effects N fertilization C exchange fluxes different forage soils driving mechanisms were poorly understood. Here, a three-year addition experime...

Parasitological examination of three passerine bird species: the Red-backed Shrike Lanius collurio, Eurasian Golden Oriole Oriolus oriolus and Yellow Wagtail Motacilla flava, revealed the presence of the nematodes Acuaria subula, Diplotriaena ozouxi, Viguiera euryoptera and Microtetrameres inermis. All the birds were obtained in the spring (April-May); the nematodes found were mature, which ind...

Wound healing potential of different extracts of henna leaves i.e. Lawsonia inermis Linn. was evaluated on the rat excision and incision wound models. Lawsone isolated from the leaves was also screened for same pharmacological activity.It was observed that the oral administration as well as topical application of ethanol extract of henna leaves and lawsone exhibited significanthealing response ...

Bradyrhizobium sp. Ai1a-2 is is an aerobic, motile, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod that was isolated from an effective nitrogen fixing root nodule of Andira inermis collected from Tres Piedras in Costa Rica. In this report we describe, for the first time, the genome sequence information and annotation of this legume microsymbiont. The 9,029,266 bp genome has a GC content of 62.56% with 24...

Optical methods for monitoring changes in membrane potential have been used to measure action potential activity in the buccal ganglion of an opisthobranch mollusc, Navanax inermis, while the animal was feeding. During feeding activity was detected in 10-15% of the approximately 200 neurons present in the ganglion. Control experiments carried out to determine the completeness of the optical rec...

Abstract In this paper we review five cancellariid assemblages from the Hungarian part of Pannonian Basin (Börzsöny, Bakony, and Mecsek Mts regions) which yielded 26 species. Ten species are recorded for first time in Hungary. One species, Scalptia nemethi n. sp. is described as new. A revision museum collections historical literature also provided. Sveltia salbriacensis Peyrot 1928 considered ...
