Abstract Food crop security and is a challenge in the agricultural sector to produce quality healthy food products for consumption by community. The use of synthetic fungicides induce plant resistance negatively affects abundance diversity biological agents.Cellulose enzymes chitinase are capable lytic that degrade cell walls pathogenic fungi plants. This study aims isolate organic rice rhizosp...

The biochemical changes that occur during the growth and ripening of fruit vegetable tissues, especially for color firmness, are most important factors affecting quality fresh products. Cantaloupe (Cucumis melo, L.) is one main economically fruits in world its parameters, e.g., sweetness, nutritional factors, texture, influence consumer preferences. Hence, these two features, appearance texture...

Proteins from intercellular fluid extracts of chemically stressed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) leaves were separated by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at alkaline or acid pH. Polyacrylamide gels contained Saccharomyces cerevisiae (bakers' yeast) or Schizosaccharomyces pombe (fission yeast) crude cell walls for assaying yeast wall lysis. In parallel, gels were overlaid with a suspensio...

Our understanding of fungal cellulose degradation has shifted dramatically in the past few years with the characterization of a new class of secreted enzymes, the lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMO). After a period of intense research covering structural, biochemical, theoretical and evolutionary aspects, we have a picture of them as wedge-like copper-dependent metalloenzymes that on red...

The lytA-encoded autolysin (N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase) of Streptococcus pneumoniae is believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of pneumococcal infection and has been identified as a putative vaccine target. Allelic diversity of lytA in an extensive collection of clinical isolates was assessed by restriction fragment length polymorphism and confirmatory sequencing studies....

Bacteriol. 88:676-681. 1964-Several typing phages, adsorbed in sufficient concentrations to their homologous propagating strains, altered the cell surface so as to render the cells sensitive to rapid an...

The final stage of bacterial cell division requires the activity of one or more enzymes capable of degrading the layers of peptidoglycan connecting two recently developed daughter cells. Although this is a key step in cell division and is required by all peptidoglycan-containing bacteria, little is known about how these potentially lethal enzymes are regulated. It is likely that regulation is m...
