BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is linked to the development of the majority of peptic ulcers and some types of gastric cancers, and its antibiotic resistance is currently found worldwide. OBJECTIVE This study is aimed at evaluating the anti-H. pylori activity of Korean acacia honey and isolating the related active components using organic solvents. MATERIAL AND METHODS The crude...

Antiseptics are being used to prevent the growth of pathogens which are major causes of diseases. Unfortunately, not everyone can use these antiseptics because of its price in the market. With this, the use of plants as sources of antiseptics gives rise to the continuous study of indigenous plants. Extraction and isolation of constituents such as alkaloid are commonly studied. It is believed th...

The jewel beetle species Chrysobothrisdesmaresti (Laporte & Gory, 1836) and Hiperanthastempelmanni Berg, 1889, have been recorded in Bolivia for the first time. Both species were collected on xeric Acacia trees. As indicated by their presence on Acacia and previous records, both species may be endemic to the arid intermountain valleys of the Southern Bolivian and Northern Argentinean Andes as w...

phenotypic and genotypic diversity as well as symbiotic effectiveness of twenty one symbionts isolated from nodules of four acacia species (acacia melanoxylon, a. mearnsii, a. saligna and acacia tortillis) grown in morocco were evaluated. growth in various media (yma, yma-bbt, yma-rc), colony morphology, tolerance to stress factors (temperature, ph, salt concentrations, various heavy metals) an...

The DNA barcode of Bruchidius varius collected from Dilek Peninsula and Büyük Menderes Delta National Park (DPNP) in Aydın province Turkey is given for the first time. As barcode, mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) with a length approximately 628 bp sequenced an illustrative presented along nucleotide composition target gene location. Nucleotide sequence includes 38.63% T, 27.98...

In the study were presented data for comparison of antibacterial activities between long time stored acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), multifloral and oak (Quercus spp.) honeydew honeys towards Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 9144). The results showed that the antibacterial activity of oak honeydew and multifloral honeys was much higher in comparison with acacia honeys with the lowest antibacterial...

Mycorrhizal technology was applied for reclamation of saline wasteland of Indian Thar Desert. For this purpose an exotic tree species Acacia colie an endemic legume of Australia was selected. Studies revealed increased biomass production and nutrient uptake of Acacia collie by native AM fungi. Different AM fungi showed their variation towards response to this tree species. However, AM fungi res...

Present experiments were conducted to determine the possibility of artificial culture with various sawdust of P. gilvus. The pH value was 6.0 of oak sawdust, 6.5 of mulberry sawdust, 6.6 of elm sawdust, 6.3 of acacia sawdust and 6.1 of apple tree sawdust. Mycelial density on elm sawdust and acacia sawdust were lower than those of oak sawdust, and apple sawdust. Weight of fresh fruiting body sho...
