The grassy landscape of north-eastern Uttar Pradesh showed quite high species richness and a total of 287 plant species belonging to 183 genera under 53 families were encountered within the sampled communities. We categorized each of 31 locations under 12 disturbance types under two light regimes. Their effects were observed in relation to different diversity attributes of grassland communities...

The root bark of Cassia sieberiana was analyzed using direct analysis in real time mass spectrometry, and a main flavonoid component with an [M + H](+) mass of 275 was identified. The flavonoid, epiafzelechin, was isolated and fully characterized with the concerted use of NMR spectroscopy, circular dichroism, and optical rotation. Electronic circular dichroism and optical rotation TDDFT calcula...

Antimicrobial resistance in Listeria monocytogenes biofilms is considered a risk. When using disinfectants, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) must be contemplated to avoid resistance. The objective of present study was determine MIC four essential oils L. strains. Once MICs were obtained, effect subinhibitory doses most effective oil determined. Strains subsequently subjected increasin...

The separation and determination of two anthraquinones, emodin and chrysophanol, and two bianthraquinones, cassiamin A and cassiamin B, were achieved by capillary electrophoresis (CE). The running electrolyte used in this method was 0.05 M hydroxypropyl-gamma-cyclodextrin in 0.1 M borate buffer (pH 9) containing 10% acetonitrile, with an applied voltage of 20 kV. Application of this technique i...
