Isolation of cellulose in empty fruit bunch (EFB) is hindered by lignin content. EFB was pretreated with Pleurotus ostreatus which has the ability to degrade lignin, various incubation times (0th, 15th,30th, 45th, and 60th). The result showed decreased from 29.3% 20.3% 40.2% 26.2%, respectively. optimum degradation time on 30th day contents 41% 39.7% (C/L) ratio increased 1.40 1.99. These data ...

MicroRNA (miRNA) detection by reverse transcription (RT) quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) is the most popular method currently used to measure miRNA expression. Although the majority of miRNA families are constituted of several 3'-end length variants ("isomiRs"), little attention has been paid to their differential detection by RT-qPCR. However, recent evidence indicates that 3'-end miRNA i...

background herpes simplex virus 1 (hsv-1) resistance to drugs and the side effects of drugs have drawn the attention of investigators to herbal plants. objectives the main aim of the current research was to investigate the effects of glycyrrhiza glabra (liquorice root) on hsv-1. one of the objectives of the current research was to determine the efficacy and the effect of the elapsed incubation ...

to investigate the influence of hypoxia during the early stage of incubation on embryonic developmentand hatching events, and consequently on incidence of ascites in broiler chickens, one thousand fertile eggswere incubated in two commercial incubators. half the eggs were incubated in a low altitude incubator untilhatched. the second half were incubated in a high altitude incubator until day 10...

knowledge of virus and replication kinetic is one of the most important issues in the vaccine production. the present study aimed to evaluate the best harvesting time of h9n2 avian influenza virus (aiv) vaccine strain inoculated in specific pathogen free (spf) embryonated chicken eggs (ece)s. for this purpose, 10-5 dilution of aiv (a/chicken/iran/99/h9n2) was inoculated into 336, 11-day old ece...

the role played by soil constituents in governing temporal trends of metal mobility in calcareousmediterranean soils deserves special attention due to the particular soil and climate characteristics. reactionsoccurring during the aging modify the metal mobility over time, and the rate of metal application and type ofsoil can be decisive in the outcome of aging reactions in soils. the aim of the...
