A newly isolated thermotolerant ethanologenic yeast strain, Issatchenkia orientalis IPE 100, was able to produce ethanol with a theoretical yield of 85% per g of glucose at 42°C. Ethanol production was inhibited by furfural, hydroxymethylfurfural and vanillin concentrations above 5.56 gL(-1), 7.81 gL(-1), and 3.17 gL(-1), respectively, but the strain was able to produce ethanol from enzymatical...

background and aims. the purpose of this study was to determine efficacy of 19% elaeagnus angustifolia (ea) topical gel in the treatment of symptomatic oral lichen planus. materials and methods. patients with symptomatic oral lichen planus referring to the department of oral medicine, faculty of dentistry at shahid beheshti university of medical sciences were asked to participate in the study. ...

Partial 16S ribosomal DNAs (rDNAs) were PCR amplified and sequenced from Frankia strains living in root nodules of plants belonging to the families Elaeagnaceae and Rhamnaceae, including Colletia hystrix, Elaeagnus angustifolia, an unidentified Elaeagnus sp., Talguenea quinquenervia, and Trevoa trinervis. Nearly full-length 16S rDNAs were sequenced from strains of Frankia living in nodules of C...

This study was carried out to determine effects of different durations (20, 40, 60 days and control) of cold stratification treatments on seed germination and to overcome dormancy in seeds of twelve different drought tolerant plants. The species used in this study were Arbutus andrachne L., Cistus creticus L., Colutea armena Bois. Huet., Cotinus coggygria Scop., Cotoneaster numullaria Fisch. an...

The observations of homogeneous, intracellular inclusion bodies in association with Rickettsia orientalis were made during an investigation of scrub typhus in Imphal in 1945 and were submitted in reports to GHQ(I). Twenty-five strains of R orientalis were isolated from different sources. Similar observations have been made by Giroud and Panthier (1942) and Begg and others (1944) in association ...

Multiple shoots were obtained from nodal segments of mature trees of Elaeagnus angustifolia L. cultured on MS medium (Murashige and Skoog 1962) supplemented with 0, 0.88 or 2.22 micro M N(6)-benzyladenine. When nodal segments taken from the in vitro proliferated shoots were cultured under the same conditions, additional multiple shoots were obtained. Rooting of the in vitro propagated shoots wa...

elaeagnus angustifolia has many potential applications in drugs, detergents, perfumes, herbal teas and show various biological and pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and other effective treatment of disease. gallic acid (ga) and its derivative methyl gallate (mg) are well studied plant phenolics. they have exhibited anticancer effects in several cancer cell lines...

introduction: it has been shown that the extract of elaeagnus angustifolia can inhibit inflammation and pain induced by formalin in mice and rats. the aim of the present study is to reach evaluations of possible cellular and molecular mechanisms of elaeagnus angustifolia extract in reducing pain and inflammation through examining the extract ability for inhibition of cyclooxygenase (cox) type 1...
