The structures of lipids A isolated from the lipopolysaccharides (LPSs; endotoxins) of three different pathogenic Bordetella bronchiseptica strains were investigated by chemical composition and methylation analysis, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, and plasma desorption mass spectrometry (PDMS). The analyses revealed that the LPSs contain the classical lipid A b...

OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to ferment yoghurt from milk using lactic acid bacteria found in pinecones and examine the cell viability lipid peroxidation levels fermented on Vascular Endothelial Cell Line ECV304.
 METHODS: ECV304 cultured vitro. To determine viability, various concentration yogurt extract with pinecone were given cells MTT Assay. At same doses as Assay, Lipid Pero...

The present investigation was carried out to explore the bioactive compounds from n-hexane fraction of methanolic extract quinoa (Chenopodium Willd.) roots. For this purpose, C. roots were collected, shade dried, and crushed into a fine powder. powdered material extracted in methanol, filtered, filtrate partitioned with n-hexane, followed by GC-MS analysis fraction. quantitative determination r...

Christia vespertilionis is a plant traditionally used to treat various diseases, including inflammation. This study aims compare and analyze the anti-inflammatory properties activities of green red C. leaves determine correlation between protease inhibition assay phenolic content. Preliminary phytochemical analysis showed presence alkaloids, tannins, saponins, cardenolides, phenolics, cardiac g...

In an approach to the study of phospholipid-protein interactions in biological membranes, the photoactivable fatty acids, w-(m-azidophenoxy)-undecanoic acid (I) and o-(m-diazirinophenoxy)-hexadecanoic acid (11), were incorporated biosynthetically into the phospholipids of the Escherichia coli fatty acid auxotroph, strain K1060-B5. The extent of incorportation of the two fatty acids was 43% and ...

Gram-stain-positive, partially acid-fast, non-spore-forming, anaerobic, catalase-positive, pleomorphic bacteria were isolated from human abscesses. Strains X1036T, X1698 and NML 120705, were recovered from a spinal abscess, a peritoneal abscess and a breast abscess respectively. A phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strains shared 100 % similarity, and the neare...

A Gram-negative bacterium, strain 3CB-1, isolated from a 3-chlorobenzoate enrichment culture inoculated with a sediment sample is capable of degrading various aromatic compounds and halogenated derivatives with nitrate as electron acceptor. Compounds capable of serving as carbon and energy sources include 3-chlorobenzoate, 3-bromobenzoate, 2-fluorobenzoate, 4-fluorobenzoate, benzoate, 3-hydroxy...

Malaria still remains a life-threatening parasitic disease with universal targets set for control and elimination. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antimalarial susceptibility of Plasmodium falciparum isolates berghei selected agents column chromatographic subfractions Glyphaea brevis leaves extract FTIR GCMS SF8. Trager Jensen as well World Health Organisation (WHO) standardised micro...

The lipid composition of five parasitic and six saprophytic leptospires was compared. Lipids comprise 18 to 26% of the dry weight of the cells after chloroform-methanol extraction. No residual (bound) lipid was found after acid or alkaline hydrolysis of the extracted residue. The total lipid was composed of 60 to 70% phospholipid, and the remaining lipid was free fatty acids. The phospholipid f...

A bacterial strain (designated IH5(T)), isolated from rhizospheric soil of grasses growing spontaneously in Spanish soil, actively solubilized phosphates in vitro when bicalcium phosphate was used as a phosphorus source. This strain was Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped and motile. The strain produced catalase, but not oxidase. Cellulose, casein, starch, gelatin, aesculin and urea wer...
