1. An isomorphism theorem. In this paper we discuss a particular method of introducing a convolution product into certain topological linear spaces so that they become algebras. The space in each case will be essentially the dual space of a linear space of continuous functions, and arises in the study of general group algebras and in the theory of distributions. Let G be a topological group, wr...

Microalgae and cyanobacteria are rich sources of numerous phytochemical compounds with intrinsic antifungal potential. This research aimed to screen the contents, as well antioxidant profiles, in eight cyanobacterial two microalgal strains isolated from soil brackish water habitats Egypt. Our study also evaluated their activities against three phytopathogenic fungi—namely, Pythium ultimum, Fusa...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of germinated barley (GB) on live performance and carcass traits in broiler chickens. The experiment lasted for 5 weeks starting from 7 days of age and ending at 42 days of age. Chicks (Ross 308) were fed six dietary treatments including a corn–soy diet (corn diet), a barley–soy diet (barley diet), a barley diet plus enzymes...

A bioassay is described for the study of inhibitory activity of plant proteins on fungal growth. Fungal spores were germinated in liquid growth medium and pipetted into wells of a microtitre plate. Fungal growth was followed spectrophotometrically. The bioassay was tested using crude protein extracts from plant tissues known to have high activities of chitinase and beta-1,3-glucanase, and with ...


 The objective of the study was to isolate cellulase producing bacteria from natural sources and identify bacterial isolates that produce thermostable enzyme. Bacteria were isolated samples collected different locations like mango leaf litter, termite gut, composting yard (municipal solid waste, compost, soil), soil decaying paper wood, saline coastal belt by enrichment in broth containin...

Pathogenesis-related proteins (PRs) are among the defense mechanisms of plants that work as an important barrier to the development of pathogens. These proteins are classified into 17 families according to their amino acid sequences, serology, and/or biological or enzyme activity. The present study aimed to identify PRs associated with the pathosystem of Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum: Pepper ...

Vitis vinifera glycosyl hydrolase family 17 (VvGHF17) is a grape apoplasmic β-1,3-glucanase, which belongs to glycosyl hydrolase family 17 in grapevines. β-1,3-glucanase is not only involved in plant defense response but also has various physiological functions in plants. Although VvGHF17 expression is negatively related to the length of inflorescence in grapevines, the physiological functions ...

A 260-kDa structural cell wall protein was purified from sodium dodecyl sulfate-treated cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by incubation with Rarobacter faecitabidus protease I, which is a yeast-lytic enzyme. Amino acid sequence analysis revealed that this protein is the product of the SED1 gene. SED1 was formerly identified as a multicopy suppressor of erd2, which encodes a protein involve...
