Ranunculus sceleratus L. (Ranunculaceae) is an invasive alien widespread species commonly distributed in canals and drains banks. In Egypt, this plant exhibits extensive growth with occasional pure populations the Nile Delta region. This study aimed to address drivers for R. abundance, phytochemical composition, phytoremediation efficiency. The average abundance of within 60 stands 25 m2 each w...

R. gracilis rhizomes were picked from Yenice Forests Karabük province in Turkey. Ethanol was chosen for extraction solvent. Disc diffusion method including filamentous and non-filamentous Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative yeast strains used to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of extract. DPPH free radical scavenging ferric reducing antioxidant power analysis performed determine activity....

A water soluble polysaccharide, HB-1, with a molecular weight of 23,930, was isolated from radix Ranunculi ternati. by hot water extraction, ethanol precipitation, deproteination，ultrafiltration and gel-filtration column chromatography. Its sugar composition was determined by GLC as Glc, Ara, and Gal in a molar ration of 16.071: 2.722: 1. And the absolute configuration of Glc was identified as ...

BACKGROUND Equine dysautonomia or equine grass sickness (EGS), as it is more commonly known, is a usually fatal disease of equids of uncertain etiology, although associated with grazing, that affects the autonomic and enteric nervous system. Lowered gastrointestinal motility, leading to paralysis of the gut, is one of the main symptoms of EGS. Previous studies have implicated anaerobic bacteria...
