The marine diatom Skeletonema costatum is commonly found in coastal and estuarine areas from the temperate zones to the tropical zones. Blooms caused by Skeletonema costatum have been reported in almost all the eastern coastal regions of China seas. Jiaozhou Bay, located at the middle of Yellow Sea of China, is a shallow semi-closed basin. Skeletonema costatum constitutes a major fraction of do...

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Bombax costatum Pellegr. et Vuillet. (Bombacaceaea) is a plant used in traditional medicine Cameroon to treat memory impairment, anxiety, insomnia and agitation. Aim of the study: The aqueous extract evaluated for its anxiolytic like effect mice using experimental models. Materials methods: administered orally mice. They were tested one hour later stress-induced ...

This study reports the human red blood cells (HRBC) and sheep red blood cells (SRBC) membrane stabilizing property and the antioxidizing property of ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the gynaceum part of Bombax ceiba. The probable mode by which Bombax ceiba mediates its effects on inflammatory conditions was studied on HRBC & SRBC exposed to hypotonic solution. The results of the study revealed...

Exudates are substances that ooze out of the pores diseased and/or damaged tissue in plant well-used flourishing international and local uses Burkina Faso. Previously, ethnopharmacological investigations Center region showed there lot medicinal like as old wounds, skin disorders diseases treatment. The current study aims to highlight antitumoral potential nine resins form central region. One hu...

Competition of three bloom-forming marine phytoplankton (diatom Skeletonema costatum, and dinoflagellates Prorocentrum minimum and Alexandrium tamarense) was studied through a series of multispecies cultures with different nitrate (NaNO3) and phosphate (NaH2PO4) levels and excess silicate to interpret red tide algae succession. S. costatum outgrew the other two dinoflagellates in nitrate and ph...

Abstract. Kande B, Grah ZM, Moyabi AGA, Soro Y, Kone WM. 2023. An ethnobotanical survey of traditional medicinal plants used against tuberculosis and symptoms associated in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire). Asian J Ethnobiol 6: 38-47. Infectious diseases, including tuberculosis, are responsible for one-third the world's mortality due to mechanism resistance antibiotics. Faced with this alarming situatio...

Biotic interactions in the plankton can be both complex and dynamic. Competition among phytoplankton is often chemically mediated, but no studies have considered whether allelopathic compounds are modified by biotic interactions. Here, we show that compounds exuded during Karenia brevis blooms were allelopathic to the cosmopolitan diatom Skeletonema costatum, but that bloom allelopathy varied d...
