Introduction: In continuation of recent development of possible C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) imaging agents, we report the development of a possible CXCR4 targeted therapy agent. Methods: [153Sm]labeled 1,1′-[1,4-phenylenebis(methylene)] bis-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclo -tetradecane ([153Sm]-AMD3100) was prepared using [153Sm]SmCl3 and AMD-3100 ...

Organosulfur compounds classified as dibenzothiophenes (DBTs) and their derivatives are contained in petroleum. When used fuel, these substances release SOx emissions, thus contributing to air pollution, acid rain, climate change. Therefore, it is necessary reduce the content of organic sulfur fuels one way achieve this through bacterial desulfurization. This study reports biodesulfurization pr...

This work was aimed at isolating and characterising biosurfactant producing bacteria strain from diesel oil contamination sites. The potential of the to degrade n-alkanes further studied. Soil samples were collected rich areas, identified strains grown on minimal media that contained as only carbon source. Enrichment culture technique used identify bacteria. Seventeen based their capacity use O...

Oil spillages lead to the formation of hydrocarbon and metal mixtures possessing effects on alkane-degrading bacteria that are responsible for bioremediation oil-contaminated soils waters. Studies bacterial responses mixture petroleum can inform appropriate strategies bioremediation. We employed a luminescent bioreporter Acinetobacter baylyi ADPWH_recA with alkane degradation capability evaluat...

Viral Nervous Necrosis (VNN) is a pathogen that often found infecting cantang grouper and causing mass mortality of up to 100% in short time. VNN caused by Nodavirus infection infects the nervous visual systems fish. One prevention efforts against add Dunaliella salina extract which contains -carotene, nephtalene, tetradecane phenol acts as antiviral, anti-microbial anti-inflammatory. The purpo...

Pathogens, including tospoviruses, are known to manipulate the behaviour of vectors after virus acquisition by plants enhance transmission. Furthermore, as recently proven in maize chlorotic mottle pathosystem, vector's choice for virus-infected can change a preference noninfected uptake vector. A similar trend was observed cowpea - Watermelon Bud Necrosis Virus (WBNV) Thrips palmi (Karny) path...

A binary-component self-assembled monolayer (SAM) comprising tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and n-tetradecane (n-C14H30) molecules has been investigated by a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface at room temperature. High-resolution STM images of the SAM reveal that the two different kinds of molecules spontaneously form periodic ordered strip-like...
