Article history: Received on: 10/11/2016 Accepted on: 11/12/2016 Available online: 27/02/2017 Six fungal species were isolated from Egyptian soil and identified as Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium canescens, Penicillium crustosum, Penicillium sp. and Fusarium sp. and were tested for their decolorization activity of direct blue dye (DB). Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium canes...

this experiment aimed to investigate the effect of (zero, 20, 40 and 60 mg/kg atriplex forage) malva sylvestris on digestibility and microbial fermentation of atriplex in one-humped camel. fermentation parameters by gas production technique and in vitro digestibility by two-stage digestion were measured by two years old female fistulated camels. addition 40 and 60 mg/kg malva sylvestris increas...

Alongside Clem Tisdell’s prodigious scholarship, colleagues appreciate a quality he displays which characterises both economists and natural scientists. He sees the oddities in things – their incongruities, underside, gaps. Perusing the literature on regional and town planning, then, Professor Tisdell would notice articles with titles like the present one [1] and others suggesting uncertainty o...

The Eurasian badgers (Meles spp.) are widespread in the Palaearctic Region, occurring from the British Islands in the west to the Japanese Islands in the east, including the Scandinavia, Southwest Asia and southern China. The morphometric variation in 30 cranial characters of 692 skulls of Meles from across the Palaearctic was here analyzed. This craniometric analysis revealed a significant dif...

Four new triterpenoid saponins, 3-O-([beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)]-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-11alpha-methoxy-23-hydroxylongispinogenin, 3-O-([beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)]-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-11alpha-methoxy-23,29-dihydroxylongispinogenin, 3-O-([beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)]-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-29-hydroxysaikogenin F and 3-O-([beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)]-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)...

Novel carbasugars derived from cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid were synthesized and tested for inhibitory activity towards fungal glycosidases from Aspergillus oryzae and Penicillium canescens. Significant inhibition was observed, which magnitude depended on configuration of substituents.
