fauna of ichneumonidae of isfahan province was studied in 2012. specimens were collected using sweep net and malaise trap on various plants from different places in isfahan. totally, 18 species belong to 16 genera and 7 subfamilies were collected and identified as: anomalon cruentatum (geoffroy, 1785) (anomaloninae); exetastes syriacus schmiedeknecht, 1910 (banchinae); diplazon laetatorius (fab...

the present study provides information about the cryptinae and ichneumoninae (hymenoptera: ichneumonidae) species collected from kerman province, during 2013. a total of 12 species belonging to 10 genera of these two subfamilies were collected and identified. they were cryptus inculcator (linnaeus, 1758); dichrogaster longicaudata (thomson, 1884); dichrogaster saharator (aubert, 1964) and mesos...

Here, the draft genome sequences of four different Methanobrevibacter species are presented. Three of the Methanobrevibacter species (M. curvatus, M. cuticularis, and M. filiformis) have been isolated from the termite hindgut, while M. oralis was isolated from human subgingival plaque.

Like invasive macrophytes, some native macrophytes are spreading rapidly with consequences for community structure. There is evidence that the native alga Caulerpa filiformis is spreading along intertidal rocky shores in New South Wales, Australia, seemingly at the expense of native Sargassum spp. We experimentally investigated the role physical disturbance plays in the spread of C. filiformis ...

We report the first complete genome sequence of a Vitreoscilla filiformis strain (ATCC 15551) that is used in the cosmetic industry as Vitreoscilla ferment. The assembled genome consisted of one chromosome and two plasmids. These data will provide valuable information and important insights into the physiology of this filamentous organism.

Cassytha filiformis L. (Lauraceae), a medicinal plant is traditionally used for the treatment of cancer, African trypanosomiasis and many other related diseases. This plant has a wider distribution throughout India and used medicinally in China, Indochina, Madagascar and South Africa. Thus, Cassytha filiformis is medicinally used as an antiplatelet, vasorelaxant, alphaadrenoreceptor antagonist ...

We investigated the effects of cyclic nucleotides (cGMP and cAMP) and inositol triphosphate/diacylglycerol pathways on the KCl-induced luminescence control of the ophiuroid species Amphiura filiformis, Ophiopsila aranea and Ophiopsila californica. Results show that dibutyrylcGMP, the cGMP analogue, and sodium nitroprusside, the guanylyl cyclase activator, had no effect on the luminescence of O....

Sulfated polysaccharides (SPs) extracted from five seaweed samples collected or cultivated in Mexico (Macrocystis pyrifera, Eisenia arborea, Pelvetia compressa, Ulva intestinalis, and Solieria filiformis) were tested in this study in order to evaluate their effect on measles virus in vitro. All polysaccharides showed antiviral activity (as measured by the reduction of syncytia formation) and lo...

The study was aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of Cassytha filliformis for the first time. The antioxidant activity of cassytha filiformis extracts in hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol were assessed based on their radical scavenging activity (RSA) using the DPPH assay. Methanolic extract showed good antioxidant activity when compared with standard Butylated hydroytoluene(BHT). Furthe...
