abstract genomic dna extraction with high quantity and quality is the basic necessities of molecular genetic studies. the aim of this study is the applicability of different dna extraction methods as the easiest and fastest methods for and their efficiency with different tissue qualities (foot, siphon, harpoon) from marine cone snail conus coronatus, mollusca with phenol-chloroform, ammonium ac...

Abstract The aptly named microcormorants (currently placed in the genus Microcarbo) form a morphologically diminutive and distinct clade sister to all other living cormorants shags. However, relationships within Microcarbo are largely speculative. Sequence data resolve these unambiguously, with our phylogeny suggesting that separated from ~16 Mya showing two African species [the reed (or long-t...

The waste X-ray/ photographic films contain 1.5 2 % (w/w) black metallic silver which is recovered and reused. Around 18-20% of the world's silver needs are supplied by recycling photographic waste. Since silver is linked to gelatin in the emulsion layer, it is possible to break the same and release the silver using proteolytic enzymes. Alkaline protease from Conidiobolus coronatus was investig...

Masquerade, the resemblance of animals to inedible or inanimate objects, exists universally throughout animal kingdom, especially in arthropods. However, masquerade has received little attention from biologists and is often misinterpreted as mimicry by public even scientists, a consequence lack systematic biological information for masqueraders. Therefore, using orchid mantis Hymenopus coronatu...

attempts were made to present a practical key for identification of small strongyles, the identification ofwhich seems to be a difficult task to do. 4000 nematodes collected from the large intestine of horses anddonkeys were examined. 18 species of small strongyles of horse and 15 of donkey were found. from 6species of large strongyles found in both animals, we only dealt with 3 of triodontopho...
