Increasing onion yield and improving bulb quality are essential aims for growers to fulfill the requirements of the market and the consumers. Two field experiments were carried out during two successive seasons; 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 at the experimental station of National Research Centre, Beheira Governorate (North of Egypt) to find out the influence of some bio-stimulants i.e., yeast extrac...

The endophytic fungus Fusarium equiseti was isolated from the brown alga Padina pavonica, collected from the Red Sea. The fungus was identified by its morphology and 18S rDNA. Cultivation of this fungal strain in biomalt-peptone medium led to isolation of 12 known metabolites of diketopeprazines and anthraquinones. The organic extract and isolated compounds were screened for their inhibition of...

This study investigated the catabolic potential of a eukaryotic alga to degrade one of the most common organic pollutants, phenol. The alga, Ochromonas danica (993/28), was selected for study after screening for its heterotrophic capabilities. The catabolic versatility of the alga was elucidated by incubating with a variety of phenolic compounds. The alga removed phenol, all the cresol isomers ...

Euglena gracilis Z (Euglena) is a unicellular, photosynthesizing, microscopic green alga. It contains several nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and unsaturated fatty acids. In this study, to verify the potential role of Euglena consumption on human health and obesity, we evaluated the effect of Euglena on human adipose-derived stem cells. We prepared a Euglena extract and evaluated its effe...

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) is a fresh water unicellular blue-green alga (cyanophyta) rich in phycocyanin (PC), a photosynthetic pigment with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of a novel natural extract from AFA enriched with PC to protect normal human erythrocytes and plasma samples against oxidative damage in vitro. In red b...

Quantitative studies on Laminaria (a brown alga), Ulva (a green alga), Rhodymenia (a red alga), and Zostera (a flowering plant) show that the behavior of these plants, in respect to changes in permeability, is essentially alike in all cases.

Abstract There are several factors were taken in consideration such as time, ratio, temperature and pH to improve the chelation process between amino acids inorganic ions. The current study aims optimize physical controlling synthesis of chelated with different minerals enhance antioxidant biodiesel production from Arthrospira platensis cultivated culture enriched minerals. In this study; vario...

the present study was aimed to assess the influence of brown marine algae and vitamin e (ve) (160 ppm α-tocopheryl acetate) on stability of chicken meat enriched with fish oil. in this study, 360 d-old broilers (arbor acres plus) were randomly assigned to 6 treatment groups with 4 replicates of 15 birds in each. experimental groups consisted of corn-soybean basal diet (c), corn-soybean basal di...

• Undaria pinnatifida prepared like a soup has phlorotannins and small peptides. Bioactive molecules in U. can inhibit acetylcholinesterase. Aqueous extract inhibits the activity of HMGR, reducing cholesterol biosynthesis. Several changes are induced cell proteome with aqueous extract. is brown alga, largely used as food oriental countries. The purpose this work was to analyze several bioactivi...
