Healthy efficacy of Nostoc commune Vaucher
Nostoc commune Vaucher, a macroscopic cyanobacterium, has long been appreciated as a healthy food and traditional medicine worldwide. Accumulated evidence has demonstrated that it possesses a wide range of remarkably protective physiological and pharmacological activities, largely based on animal and in vitro studies. In this review, we summarise and update evidence regarding the chemical compo...
متن کاملPurification and properties of an enzyme capable of degrading the polysaccharide of the cyanobacterium, Nostoc commune.
A novel Nostoc commune-polysaccharide (NPS)-degrading enzyme with a molecular mass of 128.5 kDa was purified from Paenibacillus glycanilyticus DS-1. The optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme activity were 5.5 and 35 degrees C, respectively. The enzyme completely degraded NPS to oligosaccharides, ranging from tetra to hexasaccharides and could degrade the xylan weakly whereas xanthan, gellan,...
متن کاملEvolutive and structural characterization of Nostoc commune iron-superoxide dismutase that is fit for modification.
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) has extensive clinical applications for protecting organisms from toxic oxidation. In this study, the integrated iron-superoxide dismutase gene (fe-sod) coding sequence of Nostoc commune stain CHEN was cloned from genomic DNA and compared to sods from other reported algae. These analyses of immunology and phylogenetics indicated that this Fe-SOD is considerably ...
متن کاملUV-B-induced synthesis of photoprotective pigments and extracellular polysaccharides in the terrestrial cyanobacterium Nostoc commune.
Liquid cultures of the terrestrial cyanobacterium Nostoc commune derived from field material were treated with artificial UV-B and UV-A irradiation. We studied the induction of various pigments which are though to provide protection against damaging UV-B irradiation. First, UV-B irradiation induced an increase in carotenoids, especially echinenone and myxoxanthophyll, but did not influence prod...
متن کاملImmunomodulatory Potential of the Polysaccharide-Rich Extract from Edible Cyanobacterium Nostoc commune
A dry sample of Nostoc commune from an organic farm in Pingtung city (Taiwan) was used to prepare polysaccharide-rich (NCPS) extract. The conditioned medium (CM) from NCPS-treated human peripheral blood (PB)-mononuclear cells (MNC) effectively inhibited the growth of human leukemic U937 cells and triggered differentiation of U937 monoblast cells into monocytic/macrophagic lines. Cytokine levels...
