Thermotoga maritima is a hyperthermophilic bacterium with a small genome (1.86 Mbp). Genome resequencing of Tma200, a derivative produced by experimental microbial evolution, revealed the occurrence of deletions and substitution mutations. Their identification contributes to a better understanding of genome instability in this organism.

In this study, the activity of methanol extract of Prosopis cineraria (MPC) was evaluated in N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN, 200mg/kg) induced experimental liver tumor in male Wistar rats. It was found that the administration of MPC (200 and 400mg/kg) effectively suppressed liver tumor induced by N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN) as revealed by decrease in N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN) induced elevated lev...

Culcitiolides E-J (1-6), six new eremophilane-type sesquiterpenes, were isolated from the stem of Senecio culcitioides SCH. BIP. (Asteraceae). The structures were determined by detailed NMR spectral analysis. The inhibitory activities of these compounds against nuclear factor κB (NF-κB)-dependent gene expression were assessed. Culcitiolides E, H, and I potently inhibited NF-κB-induced gene expr...

The draft genome sequence of Thermotoga maritima A7A was obtained from a metagenomic assembly obtained from a high-temperature hydrocarbon reservoir in the Gippsland Basin, Australia. The organism is predicted to be a motile anaerobe with an array of catabolic enzymes for the degradation of numerous carbohydrates.
