BACKGROUND AND AIMS Candida species, especially Candida albicans, are major fungal pathogens of humans that are capable of causing superficial mucosal infections and systemic infections in humans. The aim of this study was to evaluate the jujube (Zizyphus spina-christi) honey for its in vitro inhibitory activity against pre-formed biofilm and its interference with the biofilm formation of C. al...

We report the draft genome sequence of Enterobacter helveticus strain LMG 23733, isolated from fruit powder. The draft genome assembly for E. helveticus strain LMG 23733 has a size of 4,635,476 bp and a G+C content of 55.9%.

Background & aim: The fruit of Citrullus colocynthis has a bitter taste and antibacterial properties against pathogen factors.The aim of current research was to study the effects of different dietary level of bitter cucumber fruit powderwith and without protexin probiotic supplementation on growth performance, carcass traits and intestinal morphology of broiler chicks....

This study evaluated the effect of Prunus mume polyphenols (PMPs) treatment on qualities and nutrient in winter jujube fruits during storage (4°C). Winter were treated with 5, 10, 15 mg L−1 PMP, respectively. Compared control, PMP treatments effectively preserved quality values fruits. They also enhanced activities antioxidant enzymes, inhibited growth microorganisms, delayed postharvest metabo...

Sustainability of quality fruit production in Indian jujube is adversely affected by improper irrigation and nutrient management. A field study comprising four levels (drip at 0.8, 0.6 0.4 pan evaporation (E0) surface 1.0 IW/CPE with 50 mm depth) three (100% RDF, 75% RDF+25% RDF as vermicompost 50% RDF+50% vermicompost) was conducted during 2018-19 (11 months) on plant. Results showed that tall...

The antidepressant effects of Morinda citrifolia (noni) fruit extracts were investigated in vitro with the Monoamine Oxidase (MAO) A and B bioassays. The ethyl acetate extract of freeze-dried noni fruit powder inhibited MAO-A and B enzymes 78 and 49%, respectively. A phytochemical study of the most active extract led to the isolation of nine compounds. Among these, three principles including tw...

wild jujube, ziziphus lotus, is a multipurpose xerophytic shrub of the rhamnaceae family widely distributed in arid and semi-arid regions of tunisia, where it occupies most soil types. the fruit is the edible part of the plant by local population. the reintroduction of this shrub requires the control of its multiplication in response to water shortage. this study aims to evaluate growth and wat...

The wistar strain male albino rats were fed with various seabuckthorn products for a period of 30 days, to determine the bioavailability of antioxidants in seabuckthorn based products (juice powder, jam, squash and fruit yoghurt) and concurrent effect on antioxidant system in rats. The excretion of antioxidants in urine and feces; availability of antioxidants in blood and tissues of liver, hear...
