As bryophytes present the capacity to colonize a wide range of habitats, including extreme environments (e.g., mine areas), we first checked global response heavy metals (HM) by systematic review. This analysis found i) lack studies in polluted environment and ii) resulted trend photochemical efficiency decrease when faced metals. Secondly, characterized photoprotective responses four metallico...

Abstract This study was performed to investigate the phytochemical profile, and the, in vitro, and, silico, antioxidant antibacterial properties of essential oil (EO) extracted from Origanum compactum . EO screening examined by gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry. The potential, vitro , assessed using reducing power(FRAP), free 2,2 diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging total...

Duodenal samples were taken from similar locations in six cats, processed, stained, and examined via light microscope. There were no prominent circular folds (plicae circulares) or stratum compactum (lamina subglandularis). The 1072 microns x 201 microns villi were covered by 46 microns high columnar epitheliocytes proximally which decreased in height (41 microns) distally and displayed a 1.1-1...

THE dermal plicae folds or ridges of the metamorphosed anuran constitute striking integumentary structures. In most anurans two sets of dermal plicae are present, viz. a dorso-lateral set which run posterior from the dorso-posterior border of each eye to a point just lateral to the urostyle prominence, and a lateral pair originating near the external nares of either side and thence running post...

BACKGROUND The microscopic and microbial features of the spreading epidermal collarettes of canine exfoliative superficial pyodermas are poorly characterized. OBJECTIVES To characterize the clinical, cytological, microbial and histopathological features of epidermal collarettes in five dogs. RESULTS Cytology from the margins of collarettes identified neutrophils, extracellular and intracell...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The Fusarium species are among the most important fungi in the medical, veterinary and agricultural fields. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present study, 172 strains of these fungi have been analyzed. The high molecular weight DNAs were extracted from 23 reference strains as well as from 149 isolated Fusarium species. Using the designed nucleotide primers from rDNA of Fus...

Skin lesions caused by the ectoparasite Dermophthirius penneri Benz, 1987 (Monogenea: Microbothriidae) on 2 wild-caught blacktip sharks (Carcharhinus limbatus) from the northern Gulf of Mexico were studied using light and scanning electron microscopy. Grossly, lesions appeared as multifocal, well-demarcated, ovoid or irregularly shaped, light gray patches of skin. Scanning electron microscopy o...
