A stable isotope perspective on orchid–fungal carbon transport in the green orchid species Goodyera repens and Goodyera oblongifolia In the field of orchid research, species within the tribe Crani-chideae have taken center stage as a result of the recent findings of Cameron et al. (2006, 2008), which demonstrated...

The year 2007 marks the 10th anniversary of the approval of letrozole (Femara) in the United States, while 2006 marked not only the 10-year milestone of letrozole’s approval in Europe but also the 25th anniversary of Novartis’s (then Ciba-Geigy [1970–1996]) dedication to the aromatase inhibitor (AI) program. It began with the introduction of the first-generation AI aminoglutethimide (Orimeten) ...

entomopathogenic fungi produce a variety of degrading enzymes, including proteases, chitinases and lipases, to facilitate their entry through the massive barriers of insect cuticle. isolates of the entomopathogenic fungi vary considerably in their proteolytic activity and virulence. the proteolytic activity of different isolates has been hypothesized to reflect their virulence toward the host. ...

Today, rocky monuments are being exposed to different physical, chemical and biological factors and therefore going to be ruined. One of physical destructive factors is growing of fungus and lichens on the rocks. This research aims to make use of silver nano-particles produced through microbial method in order to prevent</e...

The fungus Beauveria bassiana is naturally found in poultry houses and causes high rates of mortality in Alphitobius diaperinus. Laboratory and field experiments have shown the potential of this fungus as an insect control agent. However, in poultry houses, bacteria as Salmonella, can be found and have been studied alternative control methods for this pathogen. Thus, this study aimed to evaluat...

Terminalia ivorensis, a tree of central African origin, is planted in several tropical countries for timber and veneer production. During the course of a recent disease survey, an unknown fungus was found associated with basal cankers on dying T. ivorensis in Ecuador. The fungus has orange fruiting structures and septate, fusoid ascospores, similar to those of Cryphonectria, a well-known genus ...

Fungus Candida albicans has received much attention due to its oral, vaginal and/or systemic candidiasis. This study was undertaken to find out the optimum antifungal effect of concentration of two essential oils namely Thymus daenensis Celak. and Zataria multifera Boiss. either alone or in combination ratio and their time of action against C. albicans. The essential oils (EOs) were obtained by ...
