In this study honeys of Acacia modesta, Prunus persica, Zizyphus sativa and Isodon rogosus plants were tested against two Gram-positive bacterial strains (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus), two Gram-negative bacterial strains (Klebsilla pneumonia and Escherichia coli) and two fungal strains (Alternaria alternata and Trichoderma harzianum) through Agar well diffusion method. The tested ...

We formulate and describe a visual compactification of the Teichmüller space by Weil-Petersson geodesic rays emanating from a point X. We focus on analogies with Bers’s compactification: due to non-completeness, finite rays correspond to cusps, and such cusps are dense in the visual sphere. By analogy with a result of Kerckhoff and Thurston, we show the natural action of the mapping class group...

My attention was first called to this disease in an outbreak of beri-beri at Meiktila Jail in 1808 ; at that time I thought the disease was due to a micrococcus, which I found in between the starch cells in jewary, in the granary of the jail ; I had also found it in pigeon's excreta from the roofs, and thought I had also found it in the blood and in pigeon's blood. But my series of experiments ...

The gene Hybrid male rescue (Hmr) causes lethality in interspecific hybrids between Drosophila melanogaster and its sibling species. Hmr has functionally diverged for this interspecific phenotype because lethality is caused specifically by D. melanogaster Hmr but not by D. simulans or D. mauritiana Hmr. Hmr was identified by the D. melanogaster partial loss-of-function allele Hmr1, which suppre...

Two new cyclopeptide alkaloids, sativanine-N and sativanine-O were isolated from the stem bark of Zizyphussativa and their structures were established by spectral analysis.

THE milk-fats from goats and sheep are used, although only to a small extent, as substitutes for those of cows and buffaloes in India. The component fatty acids and glycerides of these two fats have been studied by methods recently developed [Hilditch et al., 1929; 1930; 1931] in the case of cow butter-fats, in order to compare their composition with those of the latter and, in certain respects...

Ziziphus mauritiana is a plant species belonging to the Rhamnaceae family. It commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Indonesia, this grows wild thrives on islands Bali, Lombok Sumbawa. The fruits Z. are edible, however, it underutilized has very low economic value. To evaluate its possibility be developed as functional food, study was conducted determine total phenolics fla...

AIM OF THE STUDY The present study aimed to evaluate the anti-diabetic activity of Zizyphus spina-christi leaf extract (200 mg/kg b.w.), plain and formulated in STZ-diabetic rats. Percentage yield of extracts, marker yield (christinin-A) and antihyperglycemic potencies, depending on seasonal variation were investigated. The chemical stability, study of storage conditions, shelf life T90 predict...

Zygotylenchus gansuensis n. sp. is described and illustrated from the rhizosphere of jujube (Zizyphus jujuba Mill.) based on morphology and molecular analyses. This new species is characterized by a low and flattened labial region with three annuli, stylet 14.1±0.5 (13.0-14.9) μm long, deirids absent, five lateral lines in the vulval region, pharyngeal glands overlapping ventrally or ventrolate...
