Pandoraea oxalativorans DSM 23570(T) is an oxalate-degrading bacterium that was originally isolated from soil litter near to oxalate-producing plant of the genus Oxalis. Here, we report the first complete genome of P. oxalativorans DSM 23570(T) which would allow its potential biotechnological applications to be unravelled.

This study was carried to develop functions that could explain the growth of Oxalis latifolia, in both early stages and throughout the season, contributing to the improvement of its cultural control. Bulbs of the Cornwall form of O. latifolia were buried at 1 and 8 cm in March 1999 and 2000. Samples were destructive at f ixed times, and at each time the corresponding BBCH scale codes as well as...

Efficacy of some local plants in the management of Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxin contamination was investigated. Aqueous extracts of rhizome of Zingiber officinalis and leaf extracts of Trigonella foenum-graecum inhibited aflatoxin production to a significant level. While solvent extracts of Zingiber officinalis and Oxalis corniculata could suppress both the growth and aflatoxin production b...

Phylogenetics benefits from using a large number of putatively independent nuclear loci and their combination with other sources of information, such as the plastid and mitochondrial genomes. To facilitate the selection of orthologous low-copy nuclear (LCN) loci for phylogenetics in nonmodel organisms, we created an automated and interactive script to select hundreds of LCN loci by a comparison...

The objective of the present study was to investigate the antiulcer activity of methanol extract of Oxalis corniculata (whole plant) using pylorus ligation and indomethacin-induced gastric ulceration in Wistar rats. The extract was preliminary evaluated for acute oral toxicity test using Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development guidelines 423. Further, it was studied for antiulcer...

An alarming loss of genetic variability of three Andean tubers (Ullucus tuberosus, ullucus; Oxalis tuberosa, oca; and, Tropaeolum tuberosum, mashua) has been observed during the last decades due to many factors such us the introduction of new varieties, droughts, changes in food habits, encroaching agriculture, deforestation and the migration from rural to urban areas. Thus, a pilot study was c...
