AIM The aim was to screen the selected Indian plants for their antibacterial efficacy against four cariogenic bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA)(Microbial Type Culture Collection [MTCC]-*447), Lactobacillus casei (LC) (MTCC-1423), Streptococcus mutans (SMU) (MTCC-890) and Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC-96). To identify and characterize active principle present in these plants for the treatmen...

Evaluation of four botanicals Vernonia amygdalina L., Bryophyllum pinnatum L., Eucalyptus globules Labill and Ocimum gratissimum Kurz (Clocimum) for chemical and nutritional properties was conducted at Ago Iwoye in South-western Nigeria. The results from the investigation showed that V. amygdalina contained large quantity of Thiamine, Pyridoxine, Ascorbic acid, Glycine, Cysteine and Casein hydr...

The three kinds of lipid globules recognizable in the living neurones of Helix aspersa have been examined under the electron microscope. The globules of the kind that can be stained blue with methylene blue during life are seen in electron micrographs as spheres or spheroids, with concentric lamination, after calcium-osmium fixation. After fixation with sucrose-osmium laminated crescentic bodie...

1. The only cytoplasmic inclusions visible in the living neurone are lipid globules and mitochondria. 2. In both Helix and Limnaea there are three kinds of lipid globules, as follows: (a) large globules, yellowish from their carotinoid content; (6) smaller globules, easily coloured by vital dyes; (c) small globules, not colourable by vital dyes. 3. The crescents and rings ('dictyosomes') seen i...

The paper presents the results of a dedicated millimetre continuum and molecular line (CO and CS) search for cold and dense (protostellar) cores and molecular outflows in 35 southern Bok globules (Dec. ≤ −30◦). Only globules which are associated with cold IRAS point sources (FIR colour temperatures below 35 K) were selected for this study. We could demonstrate that globules are often loosely as...

Bovine fat is dispersed in raw milk as natural milk fat globules, with an average diameter of 4 microm, which are enveloped in a biological membrane, the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM). However, dairy processes modify the supramolecular structure and the surface composition of milk fat. Thus, milk fat is present in many dairy products under various forms. In this study, we focused on the fact...

By JOHN LASZLO, HERBERT J. GERBER AND JOACHIM R. SOMMER T HE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER is to describe certain similarities between globules observed in leukemic lymphocytes and globules in plasma cells referred to as Russell bodies. Demonstration of structural and chemical identity of these globules would further strengthen the concept of a transitional pathway between lymphocytes and plasma cells....

Confocal Raman microscopy was used to determine the chemical fingerprint of individual bovine milk fat globules of different sizes and from milk sourced from different breeds. No detectable level of triglycerides was found in the small milk fat globules of 1 mm diameter or less in size. These small fat globules also delivered information about the lipids of the milk fat globule membrane. In add...

Fresh fracture surfaces of the martian meteorite ALH84001 contain abundant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These fresh fracture surfaces also display carbonate globules. Contamination studies suggest that the PAHs are indigenous to the meteorite. High-resolution scanning and transmission electron microscopy study of surface textures and internal structures of selected carbonate globule...
