Use of Litchi chinensis lectins (agglutinins) in diagnostic microbiology.
نویسنده
چکیده
One hundred and thirteen clinical isolates of organisms were tested for agglutination by Litchi chinensis seed extract. The extract selectively agglutinated gram positive organisms and most of the Bhaemolytic Esch. coli and Proteus isolates. Further studies with a purified extract made it possible to develop an identification procedure for certain important antigenic groups of organisms. (JPMA 35: 110, 1985).

متن کاملEffects of Packaging and Low Temperature on Shelf Life and Quality of Litchi
Litchi is a non-climacteric fruit (Wills et al. 2004) and it deteriorates very fast after harvest. Various technologies have been devised to minimize the post-harvest losses of litchi, one of such technologies is the use of PP bag & low temperature. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the effects of thiLitchi is a non-climacteric fruit and it deteriorates very fast after harvest. Vario...

Background Lectins are highly important biomolecules to study several biological processes. A novel α-D-glucose/mannose specific lectin was isolated from the seeds of litchi fruits (Litchi chinensis) and its various biophysical and biochemical properties were studied. Methods Purification was done by successive Sephadex G 100 and Con A-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. SDS-PAGE, Surface P...

A simple, rapid and efficient method for isolating genomic DNA from lychee (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) was developed. This modified CTAB protocol include the use of 2 M NaCl, PVP, 5% mercaptoethanol and 80% ethanol in the extraction as well as reducing the centrifugation times during the separation and precipitation of the DNA. Isolated genomic DNA showed high purity and high quantity following re...
متن کاملTranscriptional changes during ovule development in two genotypes of litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) with contrast in seed size
Litchi chinensis is a subtropical fruit crop, popular for its nutritional value and taste. Fruits with small seed size and thick aril are desirable in litchi. To gain molecular insight into gene expression that leads to the reduction in the size of seed in Litchi chinensis, transcriptomes of two genetically closely related genotypes, with contrasting seed size were compared in developing ovules...
