Restricted usage of chemical nematicides has led to development of environmentally safe alternatives. A culture filtrate of Aspergillus niger F22 was highly active against Meloidogyne incognita with marked mortality of second-stage juveniles (J2s) and inhibition of egg hatching. The nematicidal component was identified as oxalic acid by organic acid analysis and gas chromatography-mass spectros...

As part of an integral structure and function study, we characterized the natural epitope on the EGF recognized by the CB-EGF1 monoclonal antibody, by using peptides displayed on the coat protein of filamentous bacteriophages. Data analyzed demonstrated that the CB-EGF1 monoclonal antibody recognizes a conformational epitope, comprising aminoacids S9, H10, Y13, K28, E40 and R41. The identified ...

BACKGROUND The orthodontics industry has paid great attention to the aesthetics of orthodontic appliances, seeking to make them as invisible as possible. There are several advantages to clear aligner systems, including aesthetics, comfort, chairside time reduction, and the fact that they can be removed for meals and oral hygiene procedures. METHODS Five patients were each given a series of F2...

Streptomyces are the most popular among Actinomycetes groups and found in soils worldwide. They form an important part of soil ecology within Actinomycetales order. diverse as secondary antibiotic metabolites such Novobiocin, Amphotericin, Vancomycin, Neomycin, Gentamicin, Chloramphenicol, Tetracycline, Erythromycin Nystatin. Thus, current study was aimed to isolate, identify assess active prod...
