history and objectives: considering the incremental trend for using the stimulatory drugs for ovulation and the new techniques for the treatment of infertility, therefore there is a higher incidence for the syndrome of polycystic ovaries. in this research study mannitol serum was used as a preventive agent in patients with such a syndrome referred to sarem medical center from 1999 to 2000. mate...

materials and methods statistical and regressive modeling methods were used to investigate the effects of the carbon source and to optimize the production media. results the spinosad production of s. spinosa co121 increased 77.13%, from 310.44 ± 21.84 μg/ml in the initial fermentation medium (with glucose as the main carbon source) to 549.89 ± 38.59 μg/ml in a new optimized fermentation medium ...

The present paper deals with the kinetics and mechanism of homogeneously Ir(III) chloride catalyzed oxidation of D-mannitol by chloramine-T [CAT] in perchloric acid medium in the temperature range of 30 to 45 0C. The reaction is carried out in the presence of mercuric acetate as a scavenger for chloride ion. The experimental results show first order kinetics with respect to the oxidant [CAT] an...

Mexican lime is one of the commercial citrus cultivars in the world, which is commonly used as a citrus rootstock in the southern regions of Iran. This cultivar is one of the most sensitive citrus cultivars to cold stress and is used as a cold-sensitive plant in many citrus studies. This study aimed to investigate the effect of melatonin (0 and 500 μM), mannitol (0 and 50 μM), acetic acid (0 an...

Mannitol kinase and mannitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase activities were detected in two Micromonospora isolates. The presence of these enzyme activities indicates that mannitol is catabolized first to mannitol-1-phosphate and then to fructose-6-phosphate. Mannitol-oxidizing enzymes were also surveyed in representative species of four other genera of actinomycetes. Mannitol-1-phosphate dehydrogen...

Macroalgae (seaweeds) are key primary producers in marine coastal habitats and largely contribute to global ocean carbon fluxes. They also represent attractive renewable feedstock for the production of biofuels, food, feed, bioactive. Brown algae seaweeds that produce alginates fucose containing sulfated polysaccharides their cell wall laminarin mannitol storage. The availability genomes kelp S...

Mannitol is the most abundant sugar alcohol in nature, occurring in bacteria, fungi, lichens, and many species of vascular plants. Celery (Apium graveolens L.), a plant that forms mannitol photosynthetically, has high photosynthetic rates thought to results from intrinsic differences in the biosynthesis of hexitols vs. sugars. Celery also exhibits high salt tolerance due to the function of mann...

Our previous observation that host plant extracts induce production and secretion of mannitol in the tobacco pathogen Alternaria alternata suggested that, like their animal counterparts, plant pathogenic fungi might produce the reactive oxygen quencher mannitol as a means of suppressing reactive oxygen-mediated plant defenses. The concurrent discovery that pathogen attack induced mannitol dehyd...
