Actinomycetes are an uncommon agent of human infections and its pathogenic factors are not known. The present study reports a rare case isolation of an actinomycete from a woman pleural fluid; the strain was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. This strain was tested to produce an extracellular protease that hydrolysis gelatin, casein and hemoglobin on agar mediums. The purification o...

The detrimental effects of drought have adverse impacts on the crop yield as global climatic changes put unusual pressure water resources. challenge attaining security is key for sustainable development crops. Zinc (Zn2+) an important nutrient that helps to alleviate stress by modulating growth and Recently, zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs) been used a novel strategy fertilization This study was spec...

OBJECTIVES To find a suitable method for detecting zinc sulfate in adulterated urine. METHODS Two rapid spot tests to detect the presence of zinc sulfate in urine were developed. RESULTS Addition of 3 to 4 drops of 1N sodium hydroxide solution to approximately 1 mL of urine containing zinc sulfate led to the formation of a white precipitate, which was soluble in excess sodium hydroxide. In ...

in order to evaluate the efficiency of inoculation of chickpea seeds with mesorhizobium and application of nitrogen and zinc on yield and yield components of rainfed chickpea an experiment was carried out in research station of shirvan-chardavel, ilam. the experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design (rcbd) with six treatments including mesorhizobium inoculation, nitrogen (40 kg...

background: this research was conducted to evaluate the potential benefits of zinc sulphate in the prevention of radiation induced mucositis in patients who are being treated for head and neck cancers. materials and methods: forty patients with proven cancers of head and neck were randomly divided into 2 equal groups that either received zinc sulphate or placebo (control group). patients who re...
