Transformations of progesterone by basidiomycetes.

Evaluation of Antimicrobial Activity of Oudemansiella sp (Basidiomycetes)

Antimicrobial activity of different culture extract of Oudemansiella sp grown on liquid medium (MYGP) were tested. Different fungi (C. albicans, C. lipolytica, Saccharomyces cervisiea, Cladosporium herbarum, and Aspergillus niger) and bacteria (Microccocus luteus, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis) were used as test organisms. Various antimicrobial assay metho...

Melanocrocin, a polyene pigment from Melanogaster broomeianus (Basidiomycetes).

A new polyene pigment, melanocrocin, has been isolated either from fruit bodies or mycelial cultures of the subterranean fungus Melanogaster broomeianus. The structure of the pigment was determined by spectroscopic methods and chemical transformations. Melanocrocin is the N-acyl derivative of L-phenylalanine methyl ester with a polyolefinic carboxylic acid.

Long-term cryopreservation of basidiomycetes.

Basidiomycetes have several biotechnological and industrial applications such as enzyme production, bioremediation, pharmaceutical and functional food production. Due to climatic features, the preservation of several basidiomycetes is threatened, and to guarantee the preservation of this genetic resource, the development of long-term preservation techniques is necessary once there is no univers...

Induction of Lactation in Holstein Cows Using Progesterone Injections or Progesterone Vaginal Inserts

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of replacing progesterone injections by progesterone vaginal inserts on productive and reproductive parameters of lactating cows with reproductive problems after prolonged periods of heat stress. Fifteen Holstein cows were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: 1) treated with two progesterone vaginal inserts (P4-INS); 2) treated with prog...
