Freshwater salinization is a growing environmental issue caused by various anthropic or natural factors that lead to changes in water chemistry and physical conditions, affecting the survival diversity of phytoplankton. In this study, we tested physiological, morphological interspecific competition freshwater cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa green algae Scenedesmus obliquus salinity stress...

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease in diabetes mellitus. Oxidative stress, insulin resistance and pro-inflammatory cytokines have been shown to play an important role in pathogeneses of renal damage on type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Inonotus obliquus (IO) is a white rot fungus that belongs to the family Hymenochaetaceae; it has been used as an edible mushr...

Se evaluó la capacidad de biofijación dióxido carbono (CO2) por las especies Chlorella vulgaris y Scenedesmus obliquus cultivadas en fotobiorreactores un fotoperiodo 12:12 h. empleó diseño experimental completamente al azar cuyas fuentes variación fueron: especie microalgal dosificación CO2 (0,36; 11,44 22,62 g.d-1). Los fueron unidades plásticas con 3,8 L medio cultivo (solución NPK + micronut...

The production of d-lactic acid, a major fermentation product of Scenedesmus obliquus strain D(3), is inhibited by light. This inhibition has been observed in the wild type as well as in Bishop's mutant 11. However, in mutant 8, which lacks photophosphorylation, light stimulated the formation of d-lactic acid.

Inonotus obliquus is a mushroom commonly known as Chaga that is widely used in folk medicine in Siberia, North America, and North Europe. Here, we evaluated the antimutagenic and antioxidant capacities of subfractions of Inonotus obliquus extract. The ethyl acetate extract was separated by vacuum chromatography into three fractions, and the fraction bearing the highest antimutagenic activity wa...

one of the most important aims of aquatic hatcheries is availability to mass produce of daphnia magna as a live food with high nutritional value in the shortest time. in the present study, d. magna fed with two freshwater green algae species, chlorella sp. and scenedesmus obliquus, enriched with different dosages of a mixture b group vitamins (0, 0.5, 1 and 2 ml.l-1) were compared at two stages...

Polyamines, Photosynthetic Apparatus, Photoinhibition, Photoadaptation, Scenedesmus obliquus In the unicellular green alga Scenedesmus obliquus the level of photoinhibition and the recovery of the cells after reversal to the initial light conditions in relation to the pre-photoadaptation of the culture to low, medium and high light intensity was determined. The changes in the photosynthetic pig...

STUDY DESIGN Exploratory study of regional muscle activity in different postures. OBJECTIVE To detail the relationship between spinal curves and regional muscle activity. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Sagittal balanced spinal posture (C7 above S1 in the sagittal plane) is a goal for spinal surgery and conservative ergonomics. Three combinations of thoracolumbar and lumbar spinal curves can be ...
