Four types of traditional Thai rice—polished, black fragrant, glutinous and rice—were separately used as raw material for vinegar production. During alcohol fermentation, using enriched baker’s dried yeast (S. cerevisiae) a starter culture gave the highest ethanol content over 7 days fermentation. The conversion to acetic acid production by Acetobacter pasteurianus TISTR 102 was performed 25 da...

in order to determine the practical method to predict economic production of wheat in competition with feral rye by using regression models, a factorial experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications in dargaz. iran. experimental factors were included wheat cultivars (sayson, alvand, chamran and sepahan) and feral rye densities (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80...

The use of biological control for the management of pest insects pre-dates the modern pesticide era. The first major successes in biological control occurred with exotic pests controlled by natural enemy species collected from the country or area of origin of the pest (classical control). Augmentative control has been successfully applied against a range of open-field and greenhouse pests, and ...

Recently, antimicrobial peptides have been introduced as potent antibiotics with a wide rangeof antimicrobial activities. They have also exhibited other biological activities, including antiinflammatory,growth stimulating, and anti-cancer activities. In this study, an analog of MagaininII was designed and produced as a recombinant fusion protein. The designed sequence containe...

In our course of screening for novel proteasome inhibitors, TMC-95A and its diastereomers, TMC-95Bto D, were isolated from the fermentation broth of Apiospora montagnei Sacc. TC 1093. TMC-95Ainhibited the chymotrypsin-like (ChT-L), trypsin-like (TL), and peptidylglutamyl-peptide hydrolyzing (PGPH) activities of 20S proteasome with IC50 values of 5.4nM, 200nM, and 60nM, respectively. TMC-95Binhi...
