flour beetles, Tribolium confusum. Efficacy was assessed on wheat and maize at three dosages of spinosad dust formulation (corresponding to 0.0625, 0.1875 and 0.625ppm of active ingredient [AI] for S. oryzae and to 0.1875, 0.625 and 1.25 ppm of AI for T. confusum), alone or combined with SilicoSec at 150ppm for S. oryzae and 250 ppm for T. confusum. The mortality of S. oryzae exposed for 14d on...

ninety one monoconidial bipolaris isolates were obtained from lesions on different parts of rice in different locations of mazandaran province during the summer of 2009. bipolaris species were identified using morphological features such as color and shape of colony and color and size of conidia and conidiophores. the isolates were separated into two species; 85 (93.4%) isolates belonged to bip...

Kosakonia oryzae KO348 is an endophytic and plant growth-promoting strain isolated from the roots of rice in Italy. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Kosakonia oryzae KO348.

The present study investigates the effects of varying levels of dietary fermented Aspergillus oryzae (0 g Kg-1 as control group, 10, 20 and 30 g Kg-1) on performance and haemato-immunological indices of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) fingerlings. Common carp fingerlings (n=240, w=4.56±0.17 g) were supplied, randomly stocked in 12 aquaria and fed with experimental diets for 7 weeks. The results r...

A novel slightly distorted octahedral complex of Cr(III) of norfloxacin (Nor) with the formula [Cr(III)(Nor)(Bipy)Cl2]Cl·2CH3OH has been synthesized hydrothermally in the presence of a N-containing heterocyclic compound 2,2'-bipyridyl (Bipy). The complex was characterized with FT-IR, elemental analysis, UV-visible spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. Spectral studies suggest that the Nor ac...

mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection caused by filamentous fungi of the mucoraceae family. the genera most commonly responsible are mucor or rhizopus. the disease occurs mostly in association with diabetic ketoacidosis. mucormycosis has an extremely high death rate even when aggressive surgery is done. death rates range from 25-85% depending on the body area involved.a case of rhinocere...

Cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) domain containing proteins (CDCPs) constitute a big family in plants and some members in this family have been implicated in a variety of biological processes, but the precise functions and the underlying mechanism of the majority of this family in plant immunity remain to be elucidated. In the present study, a CBS domain containing protein gene, OsCBSX3, is funct...

The antioxidant capacity and antioxidant constituents of two filamentous fungi (Acremonium charticola and Rhizopus oryzae) isolated from the Indonesian fermented dried cassava (gathot) were evaluated in the present study. The antioxidant capacity of the fungal crude extracts was assessed based on the 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethyl-benzthiazolin-6-sulfonicacid) (ABTS) method. Total phenolics were determ...
