This study aims to estimate the tree diversity status of Rashad Forest Reserves in locality South Kordofan State Sudan. For data collection, eight sample plots (20 × 20 m) were taken randomly, and parameters determined: trees species diversity, composition, relative density, dominance, important value index, richness forest reserve. The results show that a total 237 56 species, including 22 fam...

The disappearance of resources with high genetic potential and great utility for people the challenge conservation sustainable management these are two opposing facts which world is now concerned. In Benin, forests agroforestry systems complement each other in wood supply mortar pestle manufacture. Thus, this study aimed to investigate diversity woody species used manufacture analyze preference...

PerR is one of the most important transcriptional regulators involved in the oxidative-stress response in Bacillus subtilis. Here, the homologous gene in Enterococcus faecalis, ranked among the leading causes of nosocomial infection, was characterized and analysed. Phenotype analysis showed that the perR mutant was significantly more resistant to H2O2 challenge (P < 0.05). Expression of eight g...

Pantoea ananatis is a bacterium associated with other microorganisms on Abutilon theophrasti Medik. roots. It converts 6-hydroxybenzoxazolin-2(3H)-one (BOA-6-OH), a hydroxylated derivative of the allelochemical benzoxazolin-2(3H)-one, into 6-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzo[d]oxazol-2(3H)-one. The compound was identified by NMR and mass spectrometric methods. In vitro synthesis succeeded with Pantoea prote...

Metal homeostasis plays a critical role in antioxidative stress. Streptococcus oligofermentans, an oral commensal facultative anaerobe lacking catalase activity, produces and tolerates abundant H2O2, whereas Dpr (an Fe(2+)-chelating protein)-dependent H2O2 protection does not confer such high tolerance. Here, we report that inactivation of perR, a peroxide-responsive repressor that regulates zi...

The spx gene encodes an RNA polymerase-binding protein that exerts negative and positive transcriptional control in response to oxidative stress in Bacillus subtilis. It resides in the yjbC-spx operon and is transcribed from at least five promoters located in the yjbC regulatory region or in the yjbC-spx intergenic region. Induction of spx transcription in response to treatment with the thiol-s...
