Temporal changes in a feedlot drainage lagoon with a predominance of the phototrophic purple sulfur bacterium, Thiopedia rosea, were investigated during a 3-year period. The surface protein and bacteriochlorophyll concentrations, which indirectly measure T. rosea abundance, peaked annually during the fall months and coincided with the intensity of pink coloration. Surface bacteriochlorophyll co...

Clonostachys rosea f. catenulata is a promising biocontrol agent against many fungal plant pathogens. To identify mycoparasitism-related genes from C. rosea f. catenulata, a suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) cDNA library of C. rosea f. catenulata HL-1-1 that parasitizes the sclerotia of S. sclerotiorum was constructed. 502 clones were sequenced randomly, and thereby 472 expressed sequ...

218 Indian Dermatology Online Journal | Volume 8 | Issue 3 | May‐June 2017 Many viruses including HHV6 and HHV7 have been proposed as causative agents for pityriasis rosea, although there is no conclusive evidence. Here, we presented a case of pityriasis rosea coexisting with oral HSV1 infection. Our case is unique because purpuric pityriasis rosea has not been associated with HSV1 previously. ...

OBJECTIVE To examine the proposed association between pityriasis rosea and human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7). DESIGN A retrospective cross-sectional survey. SETTING University medical center in Switzerland. PATIENTS Thirteen patients with pityriasis rosea and 14 persons with normal skin (control subjects). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Detection of HHV-7-specific DNA sequences and antigen (85-kd phos...

BACKGROUND This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of rhizome powder from the herb Rhodiola rosea, a traditional Western Ukraine medicinal adaptogen, on lifespan and age-related physiological functions of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. RESULTS Flies fed food supplemented with 5.0 mg/ml and 10.0 mg/ml of R. rosea rhizome powder had a 14% to 17% higher median lifespan, whereas ...

The objective of this study was to assess antagonism of nematophagous fungi and species producers metabolites and their effectiveness on Haemonchus contortus infective larvae (L3). Assay A assesses the synergistic, additive, or antagonistic effect on the production of spores of fungal isolates of the species Duddingtonia flagrans, Clonostachys rosea, Trichoderma esau, and Arthrobotrys musiformi...

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Clonostachys rosea (strain YKD0085). The functional annotation of C. rosea provides important information related to its ability to produce secondary metabolites. The genome sequence presented here builds the basis for further genome mining.

Sea-level rise and frequent intense hurricanes associated with climate change will result in recurrent flooding of inland systems such as Gulf Coastal pitcher plant bogs by storm surges. These surges can transport salt water and sediment to freshwater bogs, greatly affecting their biological integrity. Purple pitcher plants (Sarracenia rosea) are Gulf Coast pitcher plant bog inhabitants that co...

The present study was conducted to investigate the possible anxiolytic and sedative of an acute administration and 4-day repeated dosing of an aqueous extract of flowers of Alcea aucheri (Boiss.) Alef. (EFA)in rats subjected to the elevated plus-maze (EPM), open-field, and horizontal wire tests. All drugs were administered intraperitoneally. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of phe...
