2-[Methyl-(3-phenylpropionyl)amino]-benzoic acid (1e) was isolated from a culture of marine Streptomyces sp. strain B7747. Analogous compounds have potential importance as phytotoxic substances, hence compound 1e and the analogues 1a approximately 1d and 1f approximately 3a were synthesised. Antimicroalgal activity of the anthranilamide analogues showed that esters 1b, 1f and 2b were more activ...

The genus Chlorella was the first microalga to be massively cultured as food, feed and as a source of nutraceuticals. More recently, some species have been suggested as candidates for biodiesel production. One of the most difficult tasks in studying the systematics of green coccoids is the identification of species assigned to the genus Chlorella. In the context of several projects carried out ...

The overall internal pH of the acid-tolerant green alga, Chlorella saccharophila, was determined in the light and in the dark by the distribution of 5,5-dimethyl-2-[(14)C]oxazolidine-2,4-dione ([(14)C]DMO) or [(14)C]benzoic acid ([(14)C]BA) between the cells and the surrounding medium. [(14)C]DMO was used at external pH of 5.0 to 7.5 while [(14)C]BA was used in the range pH 3.0 to pH 5.5. Neith...

The problem of the excessive CO2 emitted into atmosphere is one significant problems for modern world and ecology. This article examines dynamics carbon dioxide absorption from thermal power plants, TPP, waste gases by three types microalgae, most typical Russian Federation: Chlorella kessleri, vulgaris, sorokiniana. exhaust TPP contain up to 39% dioxide. In this work, rate model with a content...

regarding increasing rate of drug resistance among microbial pathogens, a global search to find new antimicrobial agents from natural compounds with fewer side effects has been considered by many researchers worldwide. bioactive compounds with good antimicrobial activity have been isolated from different algae and cyanobacteria. the current study was performed to determine antimicrobial potenti...

The kinetics of the 520 mmu absorption change in spinach chloroplasts and Chlorella vulgaris following a flash from the ruby laser have been determined as follows: rise halftime </= 0.3 x 10(-6) second; rapid recovery halftime = 5 to 6 x 10(-6) second; intermediate recovery halftime = 4 x 10(-4) second (spinach chloroplasts only); slow recovery halftime = 12 to 170 x 10(-3) second, dependent on...
