An exhaustive literature survey on the secondary metabolites of widely distributed Prunella vulgaris L. species has been carried out. Triterpenoids, sterols, phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, coumarins, fatty acids, volatile oils and carbohydrates along with some other compounds, have been reported from this species. Many of these compounds have been found to possess significant biological properti...

In this study, the antimicrobial activity of Myricaria germanica (L.) Desv., Centaurium erythraea Rafn subsp. turcicum (Velen.) Melderis, Prunella vulgaris L., Pelargonium endlicherianum Fenzl., Chrysophthalmum montanum (DC) Boiss. and Jurinea ancyrensis Bornm., were investigated. The antimicrobial activity were evaluated according to the disk diffusion method by using Bacillus megaterium DMS 3...

BACKGROUND The essential oil (EO) of Artemisia vulgaris L. has been traditionally used worldwide for treating a large number of diseases. Although major components in A. vulgaris EO have been shown to inhibit growth of different cancer cells, as pure compounds or part of other plants extracted oil, no information is known about its anti-proliferative activities. Therefore, the current investiga...

Phaseolus vulgaris L. (Fabaceae) forms symbioses with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia (NFB). The tripartite relationship uses molecular singals to establish intracellular in roots. goal of this study was determine if Rhizobium tropici CIAT 899 exogenous riboflavin (vitamin B2) have an effect on AMF species selection root colonization P. vulgaris. Using SSU rRNA f...

While the commercialization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is rapidly expanding, the environmental impact of this nanomaterial is not well understood. Therefore, the present study evaluates the acute aquatic toxicity of SWCNTs towards two freshwater microalgae (Raphidocelis subcapitata and Chlorella vulgaris), a microcrustacean (Daphnia magna), and a fish (Oryzias latipes) based on ...

Betacyanine and ionic leakage from red beet (Beta vulgaris ssp. L. rapacea) roots and lilac (Syringa vulgaris L.) leaves under the influence of new aminophosphonates were studied by spectroscopic and conductometric methods. It was found that the leakage of dye or electrolytes depended both on the concentration of the compounds used and their structural features. The results compared to those ob...

A study was undertaken on the presence and frequency of Listeria sp. in feces from 1,000 patients suffering from diarrheal diseases and from 2,000 healthy persons. Furthermore, the feces of patients were examined for other well-documented enteropathogens such as Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, Staphylococcus aureus, Yersinia enterocolitica, protozoa and rotavirus as well as for organisms o...
