Amylase is one of the most important enzymes in the world due to its wide application in various industries and biotechnological processes. In this study, amylase enzyme from Hylocereus polyrhizus was encapsulated for the first time in an Arabic gum-chitosan matrix using freeze drying. The encapsulated amylase retained complete biocatalytic activity and exhibited a shift in the optimum temperat...

The family Gasteropelecidae is composed of three genera and eight species. This study shows that Thoracocharax cf. stellatus has 2n = 52 chromosomes for both sexes. The five males studied showed 8 metacentric, 16 submetacentric, 4 subtelocentric, and 24 acrocentric chromosomes; the seven females showed only one submetacentric chromosome, belonging to pair 11, and one extra acrocentric chromosom...

5.1. Functions. We now turn our attention to the study of real-valued functions that are defined over arbitrary nonempty subsets of R. The subset of R over which such a function f is defined is called the domain of f , and is denoted Dom(f). We will write f : Dom(f) → R to indicate that f maps Dom(f) into R. For every x ∈ Dom(f) the function f associates the value f(x). The range of f is define...

Enteromyxum leei has been identified as the causative agent of emaciation disease in a wide range marine fish hosts. In this study, we aimed to determine effect parasitic infection species on starry flounder that were cultured aquaculture farms Jeju island Korea. As mortality olive Paralichthys olivaceus because E. increased, some attempted culture Platichthys stellatus, an alternative. Myxospo...

Four transplantable tumors, three (66, 410, and 168cl) isolated from a spontaneously occurring strain BALB/cfC3H mammary tumor and one (D2) arising from a BALB/c hyperplastic alveolar nodule were found to grow better in mammary fatpads than at s.c. sites. Furthermore, tumor growth was better (p less than 0.05) in intact mammary glands than in cleared mammary fatpads for the D2, 410, and 66 tumo...

BACKGROUND Use of plant resources and ecosystems practiced by indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica commonly involves domestication of plant populations and landscapes. Our study analyzed interactions of coexisting wild and managed populations of the pitaya Stenocereus pruinosus, a columnar cactus used for its edible fruit occurring in natural forests, silviculturally managed in milpa agroforestry ...

Until 1994, only scarce research existed on these plants; however the worldwide interest in this novel fruit crop is evident, as numbers of pitaya-related publications have grown rapidly, especially during the past decade .There is a big confusion about both botanical and commercial names and there is a need to clear this point. herein, we attempt to review existing knowledge on the taxonomy, b...
