BACKGROUND With the emergence of strains resistant to conventional antibiotics, it is important to carry studies using alternative methods to control these microorganisms causing important infections, such as the use of products of plant origin that has demonstrated effective antimicrobial activity besides biocompatibility. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of p...

Hydraulic architecture parameters, water relation parameters and wood anatomy were studied in roots and shoots of the flood-tolerant tree Annona glabra L. on Barro Colorado Island, Panama. Hydraulic conductivity, leaf specific conductivity, and Huber value were similar to the corresponding values for tree species living in non-flooded habitats. The vulnerability of stems to loss of hydraulic co...

BACKGROUND A simple and sensitive thin-layer chromatographic method has been established for quantification of glycyrrhizin in Glycyrrhiza glabra rhizome and baby herbal formulations by validated Reverse Phase HPTLC method. MATERIALS AND METHODS RP-HPTLC Method was carried out using glass coated with RP-18 silica gel 60 F254S HPTLC plates using methanol-water (7: 3 v/v) as mobile phase. RES...

The present study deals with the assessment of antimicrobial activity (antibacterial, antifungal and antiyeast) of bio-oil from Pongamia glabra, Mesua ferrea and Parachlorella spp deoiled cake. The bio-oil from the respective deoiled cakes were obtained via the process of pyrolysis (ambient to 500°C at a heating rate of 40°C/min) in a vertical tubular fixed bed reactor in nitrogen atmosphere. B...

background herpes simplex virus 1 (hsv-1) resistance to drugs and the side effects of drugs have drawn the attention of investigators to herbal plants. objectives the main aim of the current research was to investigate the effects of glycyrrhiza glabra (liquorice root) on hsv-1. one of the objectives of the current research was to determine the efficacy and the effect of the elapsed incubation ...

Field investigations on the habitats colonized by Galba truncatula or Omphiscola glabra were carried out on 162 farms of the Limousin region, Central France, to determine whether there is currently a decline in the number and size of snail populations. Seven types of snail habitats were considered here. Compared to the numbers of snail populations recorded from 1976 to 1992, the values noted fr...

Lymnaea glabra is known to be a natural intermediate host of two flukes, Calicophoron daubneyi and Fasciola hepatica, in central France. But it can also sustain larval development of other digeneans. Adult snails were thus collected from 206 habitats in 2014 and 2015 to identify parasite species and determine the prevalence of each digenean infection in relation to the five types of snail habit...
