Six species of adult oribatid mites (Galumna racilis, Kilimabates pilosus, Kilimabates sp., Scheloribates fusifer, Muliercula ngoyensis and Zygoribatula undulata) and two immature stages belonging to the superfamilies Galumnoidea and Ceratozetoidea were isolated from a lawn (mixed Pennisetum and Cynodon spp.) at Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute, South Africa. The mites were subsequently used ...

Holospora undulata is a micronucleus-specific symbiont of the ciliate Paramecium caudatum. We report here the draft genome sequence of H. undulata strain HU1. This genome information will contribute to the study of symbiosis between H. undulata and the host P. caudatum.

We examined 35 species of ground and epiphytic lichens, including fruticose, foliose, crustose lichen, as habitats oribatid mites. Observations were carried out in the taiga forests northeast European Russia, 87 from 38 families found. The Crotoniidae, Carabodidae, Oppiidae, Suctobelbidae are most numerous lichens Oribatulidae epiphytes. Micreremidae Licneremaeidae only noted A complex characte...

AIM To validate plant species for hypoglycaemic activity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four plants were investigated for hypoglycaemic activity by evaluating inhibiting effects on carbohydrate-hydrolising enzymes: alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase. Acetone plant extracts were screened against C2C12 myocytes, 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and Chang liver cells by measuring glucose uptake. Cytotoxicity was d...

1. Subject and source Tecomella undulata (Smith) Seem. commonly known as`Rajasthan Teaka is one of the codominant species in the desert of western Rajasthan (Arya et al. have been reported from this plant. 3. Present study The concentrated petroleum ether extract prepared from the air dried leaves of T. undulata by Soxhlet apparatus, was chromatographed over a column of silica gel.

Spores of the tropical mosses Pyrrhobryum spiniforme, Neckeropsis undulata and N. disticha were characterized regarding size, number per capsule and viability. Chemical substances were analyzed for P. spiniforme and N. undulata spores. Length of sporophyte seta (spore dispersal ability) was analyzed for P. spiniforme. Four to six colonies per species in each site (lowland and highland areas of ...

Neodictyoprolenol [(-)-(3S)-(1,5Z,8Z)-undecatrien-3-ol] and dictyoprolenol [(-)-(3S)-(1,5Z,8Z)-undecadien-3-ol]), which had been proposed as possible biosynthetic intermediates of the sex pheromones of marine brown algae such as dictyopterene B [(-)-trans-1-((1'E,3'Z)-hexadienyl)-2-vinylcyclopropane], D' [(+)-6-((1'Z)-butenyl)-1,4-cycloheptadiene] and C' [(+)-6-butyl-1,4-cycloheptadiene], were ...

India is one of the richest floristic regions of the world and has been a source of plants and their products since antiquity and man uses them in different ways according to his needs, particularly as food or as medicine. Tecoma undulata is a popular medicinal plant has long been used in ayurvedic system of medicine. The plant has been found to exhibit diverse pharmacological activities. The p...

In this paper, three new species (S. bimaculatasp. n., S. viridissp. n., and S. hispidasp. n.) and five known species, S. formosana (Matsumura, 1913), S. nigra (Shiraki, 1908), S. shanensis (Princis, 1950), S. bivitta (Bey-Bienko, 1969), and S. undulata (Bey-Bienko, 1958), are described and illustrated. Sorineuchora undulata was previously synonymized with S. nigra, and is now reinstated as a v...

francoeuria undulata (l.) lack is often synonymous with two species of the genus pulicaria,i.e. pulicaria undulata (l.) c.a. mey and pulicaria crispa (forssk.) olive, which are oftenincluded under the genus francoeuria. the essential oil yield and compositions in the fivenatural populations of francoeuria undulata from fars province in southern iran weredetermined by gc and gc/ms analysis. the ...
