Purification of extra-cellular cellulolytic enzymes from C e l l u l o mssp. strain 0, isolated from forest soil in the north of Iran , was studied by using gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. Two endo-glucanases (Endo-I & Endo-II) and one exo-glucanase (Exo-I) were purified to hornogenity . The purified enzymes had molecular weights of about 39.000,70.000 and 90.000 daltons for ...

This investigation aimed to compare the pressure-volume loop (PV loop) measurements in three less symptomatic categories (New York Heart Association classes , NYHA I, II, and III) of pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients since NYHA classification system performance is limited by the shortcomings discussed above.Thirty-six patients were enrolled in this study with PV loop measurement acquisition ...

quinol oxidation inhibitors (qois) are one of the most important classes of fungicides used in agriculture. they block electron transfer between cytochrome b and cytochrome c1, thereby impeding the production of atp via oxidative phosphorylation. qoi fungicides are generally at high risk of provoking resistance in fungal phytopathogens. resistance has been reported in more than thirty species, ...
