The aqueous, different solvent extracts and isolated constituents of eight higher medicinal plants viz., Argemone mexicana, Caesalpinia coriaria, Decalepis hamiltonii, Euphorbia tirucalli, Leucas aspera, Phyllanthus amarus, Phyllanthus niruri, Tinospora cordifolia and Tribulus terrestris were screened in vitro for antibacterial activity by cup diffusion method against eleven human pathogenic ba...

Coriaria is an actinorhizal plant that forms root nodules in symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing actinobacteria of the genus Frankia. This symbiotic association has drawn interest because of the disjunct geographical distribution of Coriaria in four separate areas of the world and in the context of evolutionary relationships between host plants and their uncultured microsymbionts. The evolution of F...

antioxidants are vital substances which possess the ability to protect the body from damage caused by free radical-induced oxidative stress. a variety of free radical scavenging antioxidants exist within the body which many of them are derived from dietary sources like fruits, vegetables and teas. this article describes a test method for screening the antioxidant activity of 60 iranian plants o...

The current work aimed to determine the effects of antioxidant and physicochemical properties sumac fruits on its antimicrobial activity. Samples collected from Mardin Diyarbakır provinces which are located in Turkey’s Southeastern Anatolia were used results compared among each other. taken analysed separately, they exhibited high activities. Analyzes performed aqueous extracts samples. highest...

Nature used light as a source of energy. Organisms like plants and bacteria rely on photosynthesis to power their activity. Light is absorbed by pigment molecules, which are part of large protein complexes. The initially absorbed photon creates an energy packet, which moves through the complex towards a reaction center, where charge separation takes place [1]. Over the past ten years, the role ...
