THE SEA HARE is probably best known because of the red to purple fluid secreted from the margin of its mantle. There is only a superficial resemblance between this secretion and that of the genus Mttrex, which is the source of the anciently famous dye, "Tyrian" or "Royal Purple." Aplysia purple, however, found no practical use, probably because of one important deficiency-it turns a dirty brown...

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a family of biopolyesters accumulated by a variety of microorganisms as carbon and energy storage under starvation conditions. We focused on marine purple non-sulfur photosynthetic bacteria as host microorganisms for PHA production and developed a method for their isolation from natural seawater. To identify novel PHA-producing marine purple non-sulfur photosynt...

Pigmented potato cultivars were ranked by a consumer panel for overall acceptance, and acceptance of aroma, appearance, and flavor. Potatoes were analyzed for total phenolics, anthocyanins and carotenoids. Concentrations of total phenolics in yellow and purple potato cultivars were 2-fold greater (P < 0.001) than in the white cultivar. Anthocyanins were low to non-detectable in white and yellow...

This study set out to determine the distribution of sulfur compounds and saponin metabolites in different parts of garlic cloves. Three fractions from purple and white garlic ecotypes were obtained: the tunic (SS), internal (IS) and external (ES) parts of the clove. Liquid Chromatography coupled to High Resolution Mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS), together with bioinformatics including Principal Com...

background and aim: one of the key aspects of maternal care is observing the progress of labor. careful assessment of labor progress could provide mothers to be referred on time and could decrease the maternal and neonatal morbidity. this study aimed to compare diagnostic accuracy of purple line with transvers diagonal of michaelis sacral rhomboid to predict labor progress in nulliparous and mu...

According to statistics, craniocerebral injuries are often the cause of disability among population. The choice medicines for traumatic brain is one most difficult problems in complex treatment such patients. Ademol (1-adamantylethyloxy-3-morpholino-2-propanol hydrochloride) a promising medicinal substance that has huge positive therapeutic effect protective act on damaged and can be presented ...

scales per 100 leaves varied from 3.3 to 8.7. Scales containing active forms of Aphytis numbered in excess of 18 per 100 healthy scales each month, and in one month were as high as 183 per 100 healthy scales. These figures demonstrate that Aphytis was active during each of the 15 months and present in sufficient numbers to hold purple scale at low level regardless of weather fluctuations. This ...

Purple urine bag syndrome is an uncommon but particularly striking phenomenon observed in people with urinary catheters and co-existent urinary tract infections. A chemical reaction between plastic and certain bacterial enzymes results in an intense purple urine color. We report a 72 year-old male with a cystostomy. A purple coloration of his urinary drainage bag and tubing was noted in the con...
