L. stoechas subsp. luisieri is one of the five spontaneous species genus Lavandula that occurs spontaneously in Portugal. The chemical profile and antifungal activity essential oils were investigated. oil two phenological stages was isolated by hydrodistillation their components analyzed GC-FID/GC-MS. minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) fungicidal (MFC) both determinate to verify against dif...

The current work reports the purification and characterization of some kinetic properties of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide glycohydrolase (NADase) from Penicillium brevicompactum NRC 829. The enzyme was purified about 286 fold with a specific activity of 400 U/mg protein through a 3-step purification procedure. The purified NADase was shown to have a relative low molecular mass of 48 kDa by...

Filamentous fungi are a ubiquitous and diverse group of eukaryotic organisms and may contribute, along with bacteria, yeasts, protozoa and viruses, to the formation of biofilms in water distribution systems. However, fungal involvement in biofilms has not been demonstrated unambiguously. Furthermore, these fungi may be responsible for the production of tastes, odours and mycotoxins in drinking ...
